Evaldo

I come back every year, and the kind, welcoming staff are a big part of why. They’re helpful, pleasant to talk to, and happy to sort things out. The breakfast and dinner were great, with an incredible range of delicious food. It’s a great base for exploring the Dolomites. The rooms and toilets are big and clean. There’s indoor parking for cars, but it seems mainly intended for motorcycles. The top floor was being renovated during my stay, with the work due to finish in july 2025. A great place to stay.

After a day on the slopes, the spa is a treat. It has a Finnish Sauna, Turkish Steam Bath, massage showers, jacuzzi, pool, and more. The rooms feel fresh and are clean, and most have balconies facing the mountains. The hotel has half board, and dinner is excellent, with a generous antipasti buffet followed by three courses. Breakfast is abundant too, which often isn’t the case in Italy. The owners are lovely and the staff are amazing. It’s so good I almost want to keep it to ourselves.

The spa is free to use, which was a lovely bonus, and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. Hotel Evaldo is also well placed for getting to the slopes and exploring the beautiful Dolomites. We came skiing with our older teenage children and had a fantastic stay. Every meal was exceptional, from the breakfast spread to the four-course dinners. The staff were friendly, attentive, and always ready to help, creating a warm welcome. This third-generation, family-run hotel exceeded our expectations. We’d return in a heartbeat and highly recommend it in Arabba, for skiing or simply enjoying the mountains.

The food wasn't bad, though the spinach tasted fishy. For the price, the room was very small, and my roommate and I couldn't sleep because of the music downstairs. The ski locker for two people was ridiculously tiny. I don't recommend it.
