We spent four nights here in early March. The food and service were absolutely great, and the room was good too, though a little warm. The sofa bed wasn’t as comfortable as a proper bed. The location worked well for the Skibus, or we could catch a ride on the hotel bus. Parking was free, and the spa was a nice place to unwind after skiing.

The hotel has been refurbished recently, and while the outside doesn’t give much away, the interior is good. The rooms are nice and have plenty of space for ski gear, with storage for skis, boots and shoes. The wellness area has saunas, a pool and somewhere to rest sore limbs. There was a great antipasti buffet at dinner, hard to resist piling your plate high. The inventive three-course meal and dessert were interesting every night. Not every dish was great, but none were bad, and I’m fussy. Breakfast had plenty of options, though I missed having sausages, and another coffee machine might help with the queues. The shuttle to the ski lifts was handy too. Thanks for the hospitality.

The spa is amazing, the food is great, and our rooms were clean and tidy. They provide transfers to the two main ski lifts. Perfect hotel, and I’d recommend it 100%. It deserves more than three stars!

We stayed four nights while hiking in the Dolomites. The beds were good and breakfast was good too, though staff were slow to refill it. The town center is a 15-minute walk away. Parking can be tricky, so plan to arrive early.
