The Property — Monte Sole Suite
Monte Sole Suite is a clean, unfussy 3-star just off the main road in Percha, with a small pool and solid breakfast. It suits travellers using Perca as a quiet base for hiking or cycling in the Puster Valley, rather than anyone after resort-style luxury. The lobby is small, tiled and practical — a desk, a key rack, a rack of brochures for local trails.
Chronicles of Percha - Perca
Percha (Perca in Italian) began as a farming settlement on the Rienz river, first documented around 1050. Its church of St. Stephen, with a Gothic choir, dates to the 1400s, though the current Baroque structure was rebuilt in the 18th century. The village was part of the Austrian Empire until 1919, which still shows in the South Tyrolean bilingual culture and tidy Alpine architecture. Today it serves mostly as a gateway to the Plan de Corones ski and hiking area and the nearby Messner Mountain Museum.
Best Time to Visit
Full Percha - Perca guide →Best months
June to early July, when days are long, hiking trails above town are snow-free, and valley wildflowers are at peak; September, for stable weather without August heat.
Peak / festival surge
August is the busiest, with families filling the valley and hotel rates often 30-50% above shoulder prices. The Kronplatz marathon (late June) and South Tyrolean harvest fairs (September) draw extra visitors.
Budget shoulder season
May and October see discounts of 20-40% off August prices; weather can be mixed but trails in the lower valleys are still good, and crowds thin out after the summer rush.
Weather & packing
Even mid-summer can drop below 10°C at night due to altitude, so bring a fleece or light jacket. Pack a waterproof top layer and sturdy walking shoes — the Rienz valley can see sudden afternoon showers year-round.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jun 2026Before you check in to Monte Sole Suite, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on an upper floor at the back or side of the building – away from the reception and breakfast area – for less foot traffic and street noise.
Rooms to avoid
Steer clear of rooms directly next to the lift or stairwell, and those facing a main road or parking lot, which tend to be noisier in the morning.
Best views
Request a room with a south- or west-facing balcony or window – these often overlook the valley or surrounding mountains, though exact views vary.
Quietest floors
Higher floors (typically 3rd or 4th) are quieter, as ground-floor rooms often pick up lobby and kitchen sounds.
🔊 Noise notes
In a 3-star hotel, thin walls and corridor noise are common. Bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper, and avoid rooms near the breakfast service area (usually ground floor).
Insider tips
1. Book directly with the hotel and ask for a quiet, high-floor room at the time of reservation – online bookings don’t guarantee placement. 2. Check if the hotel offers a free upgrade to a ‘superior’ room type, which may have better soundproofing or a nicer aspect.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
