Excellent location, just at the base of the ski slope, sunny balcony, forest view. Large and elegant rooms, nice kettle service, big bathtub, fluffy bathrobes. The lady at the reception was very nice and helpful (she gave us a mechanic's number and address, even made us a reservation at a nice restaurant on the first evening). Very good breakfast with gluten-free options. Impeccable cleaning. Nice wellness area, even small.

From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by staff that went above and beyond in every possible way. Whether it was offering local tips, helping with transport, or just making sure I felt at home, their kindness and attention to detail truly made the difference. The hotel itself is a serene haven nestled in the mountains — waking up to the peaceful view of the Dolomites each morning was nothing short of magical. Every corner of the property exudes calm and care. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and the perfect start to a day of exploring or simply relaxing. The sauna and spa facilities were exceptional , and the Mountain View from the spa room was so beautiful we didn’t want to leave . The hotel was a 15 minute walk away from a shuttle bus that takes you to the Col Raiser cable car for free . Or a 10 minute to Oritisei if you want to get the Cable car from Ortisei to the top Seceda . If you're looking for a quiet escape with exceptional service and stunning natural beauty, this is the place. I can’t recommend it enough.

FAQs about hotels in Val Gardena

Dream Valley of the Dolomites

Situated between 1,250 and 1,550 metres above sea level, Val Gardena is part of the South Tyrol region of Italy. The Gardena River runs alongside it, surrounded by the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Dolomites. Populated by a Latin-speaking majority, its fabric mixes Austrian and Italian traditions.

Sasso Lungo Mountain (3,181 metres) is probably one of the most iconic symbols of the valley, while the Puez-Odle Natural Park also includes some of the highest peaks of the valley. A large part of Val Gardena hotels are in Selva, precisely because the town is located between the Sasso Lungo and the Park. Ortisei and Santa Cristina are the other 2 towns in the valley.

Val Gardena is also celebrated for the quality of its handcraftsmanship, particularly for the woodcarvers specialised in religious statuary. Nonetheless, it counts with beautiful refuges and restaurants located in the mountains, offering delicious meals accompanied with breath-taking views.

But it’s during winter that the valley offers its most renowned side: Val Gardena’s ski facilities are some of the best of Europe. The very fast Saslong World Cup track or the Sella Ronda are legendary.

From luxury hotels in Val Gardena to simple accommodation in the surroundings, don’t forget to check out the wide offerings available on Booking.com!

The breakfast spread was impressive! Even though we were there for three nights, we never got sick of the breakfast spread. The salad and cheese bar at dinner was also great, although the dinner courses we had on the first night had room for improvement. The location was perfect! It was right by the main promenade in Ortisei, and a short walk to the Seceda and Alpe di siusi cable cars. The spa facilities were beautiful. Thoroughly enjoyed the hydrafacial and sports massage that we booked after a tiring day of hiking. I can see myself returning for a longer stay to enjoy the facilities. There are sufficient facilities to keep you occupied even if you stayed at the hotel throughout the day.

Loved everything about it. We stayed at the Junior Suite Anika and the views from the balcony were 100 even when slightly rainy. Room was spacious, clean, had a large wardrobe, sit-down area and bathroom, and incredibly comfortable beds. Dinner/ breakfast was amazing and had unbelievable selection - wait staff were incredibly friendly too. Spa pools were heaven after a day of hiking, they were heated even on the outside which allowed you to enjoy the surrounding views. Everything was well thought out - they even had tote bags with towels/ slippers in there so it was super convenient to head to the pool/ spa.

Guest menu for dinner was good value and since we struggled to find somewhere else that was open we ate dinner at the hotel both nights and were happy we did. We loved the indoor and outdoor pools. A lovely surprise was the hotel provided Lukas the walking guide for the day and we had an awesome day with him. Room was large and bed was very comfortable. I would highly recommend this hotel.

This is further to my previous review on Garni Rives.

This is further to my previous review on Garni Rives. I gave the hotel a review that reflects my honest opinion, mainly about the manager/host of the hotel. Obviously my review was not received with warmth from the hotel manager. He messaged me immediately via Whatsapp and blamed me being not polite to him, I have no idea where does this come from. I believe he has broken the golden rule of being in me the hospitality industry, if he cannot accept honest reviews, how can he improve to thrive on? The hotel itself is OK and the only problem I have is the steep climb (not the hotel's fault) and mainly the manager's manner.

Everything was wonderful!

Everything was wonderful! Super clean, safe and close to attractions we took part in. A great place to hike from, to see the sites and to just sit back and enjoy the beauty all around! Getting to the location was easy...just recommend going slowly around the many turns to get up to the area you're headed....all worth it! We went up the mountain in the gondola and could hike around up there. We also ate lunch at the top and the food was great! Highly recommend! Several local shops were fun to go into. This area has a lot of great hiking available for novice to expert hikers.

Because of the two gondolas accessible in town, we were able to explore both sides and experience a variety of terrain, none extremely challenging which worked for our various fitness levels. The views are stupendous and the convenience of the huts along the trails for lunch, a drink or even a break from the rain were fantastic. We didn't need to worry about packing snacks or lunches, and instead enjoyed reasonably priced, delicious meals along our hikes.

We really enjoyed our stay in this holiday house! Great location – very close to the cable cars that take you to Seceda and Monte Pana in the beautiful Dolomites. The area is peaceful and scenic, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The hosts were very kind, welcomed us with gifts, and gave us great tips on what to see and do nearby. The house had everything we needed: brand-new beds, super comfortable mattresses, and the host kindly provided lower pillows upon request. Everything was very clean and well maintained. We stayed on the ground floor – although the weather was rainy, it was always warm inside thanks to the heating. A perfect place for both active holidays and peaceful rest – highly recommended!

Santa Cristina Val Gardena is an absolute gem in the Dolomites. The town perfectly balances peaceful Alpine charm with great access to outdoor adventures. It's smaller and quieter than nearby Ortisei or Selva, which made it feel more authentic and relaxing, but it still offers everything you need — cozy cafes, excellent restaurants, and beautiful walking paths right from the center.

For those who may not know, Val Gardena is comprised of three distinct areas; Selva, Ortisei and Santa Cristina. My advice on where to stay is to try and figure out which mountain ranges you plan on hitting. That said, all three locations are very close together, and you can access them all within ten minute on the same bus. Personally, I would stick to Selva or Ortisei simply because of their access to vastly different mountain areas. Santa Cristina is snuggled between the two and didn't have as much to offer, IMO.
