We drove around 3.5 hours to get to this hotel after our stay in Venice. This hotel offers a free parking garage to guests with vehicles (I think you almost would need to have a vehicle here as it's pretty rural). The second we walked through the front doors, we took a deep breath and immediately felt relaxed and so excited! This hotel design and architecture is stunning- very modern, clean, and nature based. They greeted us with a welcome drink (a large menu of drink options to choose from) and whipped blue cheese and figs. Our room was absolutely beautiful- large (but I think a standard room), with a stunning view of the mountains. Very comfy bed, nespresso machine, bath robes and slippers. Gorgeous indoor/outdoor pool and sauna. Staff was wonderful and very attentive to your every need. We loved this hotel as it seems to be heavily influenced by all of the outdoor activities in the area. They offer hikes, mt biking trips, and other day excursions right from the hotel. Outdoor fun and coming back to an amazing pool and great food is right up our ally. Food was extremely tasty and wine spectacular. Breakfast was a beautiful production of a massive buffet of cheeses, meats, fruits, yogurts, bread choices, fresh squeezed juices, and Prosecco; and then a choice of ordering off their menu (eggs, omelets, etc). They also offered a paid menu throughout the day of ”snack” items. We had a pesto pasta one day that was to die for! We ended up doing their tasting menu every night (I believe 56 euros per person). This was a great deal considering another fantastic buffet of salads, cheeses, meats, grilled and fermented vegetables (yum!!), and then an option to choose any amount of small plates off their menu. Desserts were heaven. All the food was top notch. Everything was top notch. Loved the area as well. South Tyrol is absolutely stunning and the highlight of our 10 day northern Italy trip. 45 min to Ortesi (we hiked Seceda), 1 hour 15 min to Lake Braies, and around 2 hours to hike Tre Cime. Didn't mind any of the drives considering the area is absolutely break-taking! Thank you, My Arbor, we hope to be back again some day.

Excellent location and layout so that all rooms and public areas face the beautiful view of the valley and snow- topped mountains. The room was very spacious and comfortable, with a wonderful lounging/viewing area. Our only disappointment was that the spa area was not up to the standard of another hotel we have stayed in in the same area. The swimming pool was good, with doors to the outside. However, the downstairs spa had only 3 similar saunas, one of which did not open until the afternoon, a steam room which was broken down and an outside jacuzzi which was a little too chilly. The afternoon aufguss spa events were very well performed, and all the staff were polite, friendly and hard-working. One tip is that if you want plain tap water with your meal, take it from your room, or they will charge you 5.50 for it. That seems a little mean when compared to the overall cost of the hotel.
