“Extravagent service and accommodations!”

This place is a MUST stay. If you are going to the Dolomites, this hotel is the only place you should stay. We booked Room 102---and the views are SO stunning that I didn't want to leave the room!

This place is a MUST stay. If you are going to the Dolomites, this hotel is the only place you should stay. We booked Room 102---and the views are SO stunning that I didn't want to leave the room! However, the rest of the hotel is worth exploring! The 3 levels of spa that are available to use after a long day of hiking, was a splendid retreat. The half board is worth the extra money for the fine dining, food and service. Olga was a fantastic server and we looked forward to seeing her at breakfast and dinner. Every staff member would bend over backwards to make sure our stay was at a 5 star level. For a homemade treat, have Rainer make you a Ginger drink. Ohhh...I'm still dreaming of that drink! So delish! The shuttle service into town was super fast. Even when we called to be picked up from town, the driver was to us within 5 minutes of the call! You can hike directly from the hotel, and take the free bus pass along to hike as long as you want and take the bus back to town. So convienient! Prior to our arrival the staff was quick with responses and answered every question with patience. We will be dreaming of returning to Hotel Grien and hope to return as soon as we can!

“Come for the view, return for the food and hospitality”

We stayed 9 days at this special hotel just outside the center of Ortisei run by the Avesani family. We were in a Dolomiti room with a terrace off the room and a stunning view of Sassalunga and the Odles group of mountains.

We stayed 9 days at this special hotel just outside the center of Ortisei run by the Avesani family. We were in a Dolomiti room with a terrace off the room and a stunning view of Sassalunga and the Odles group of mountains. Breakfast was a wonderful full buffet with the ability to order eggs, omelets, etc... We especially loved the local honey and homemade jams. Dinner was phenomenal - a jam-packed salad buffet and appetizers followed by 3 choices of a first course, 3 choices for a second course, and dessert options. The wine list is very comprehensive and features some of the smaller local producers - Rainer Avesani had some great suggestions, and we discovered interesting new wines. His wife Monika treated us one evening to a sampling of different types of local cheeses that was quite memorable. Sunday was a special gala dinner night with a set dinner but they were always able to accommodate dietary restrictions. But what makes this hotel very special is the staff -- from the wait staff, cleaners, and staff who drove the shuttle back and forth from the hotel to various places in Ortisei. We were not sure how the hotel shuttle would work out, but it was wonderful not to have to worry about finding parking in town and instead call and have the shuttle show up almost immediately. We cannot wait to return.

Amazing BnB hotel perched just north of the heart of Ortisei. Very friendly staff, great breakfast and wonderful views of the surrounding mountains and town below.

Amazing BnB hotel perched just north of the heart of Ortisei. Very friendly staff, great breakfast and wonderful views of the surrounding mountains and town below. They also have a delightful 12+ spa that is included in the price (not massages but sauna, therme pool, relax lounges etc). They had a super convenient shuttle down to the main hub spots in town that ran 8:00-20:00. We stayed in room 201 and I think it was the best one. :) It was a family room that could accommodate up to 5 it looked like - entirely separate rooms for us and the kids - and had a lovely swing right outside our patio door. My family LOVED this hotel. We didn’t try the dinners unfortunately since we were typically out and about in the evenings.

“Our favourite hotel from our trip - everything 100%”

This is an incredibly beautiful, well-run family hotel. It is a good 20 minute (hill) walk outside Ortisei, but we found the view back over the town so stunning that we didn't mind being based outside, and in addition, there is a very efficient shuttle service into town provided by the hotel.

This is an incredibly beautiful, well-run family hotel. It is a good 20 minute (hill) walk outside Ortisei, but we found the view back over the town so stunning that we didn't mind being based outside, and in addition, there is a very efficient shuttle service into town provided by the hotel. Our room was just stunning, - in terms of design, functionality, comfort and view. We didn't want to leave. Cleanliness was paramount everywhere and a strong customer focus from the family and wonderful team at the hotel. Our intention had been to explore several of the local restaurants in Ortisei over our 5 night stay, but having experienced dinner in the hotel the first night, there was no question we would eat anywhere else afterwards! You feel like a 'guest' in this hotel as opposed to a customer/client. (There is a subtle difference!). Speaking on behalf of my husband and myself, the most wonderful aspect of this hotel is the 3 ladies who staff the dining room (Giulietta, Maria and Olga). They were so helpful and accommodating in all aspects of the service and food, but also with a genuine interest in the guests. Ladies - you are a credit to this hotel!
