Helmhotel - feel the dolomites — Hotel in Pustertal - Val Pusteria

We just returned from a wonderful stay at the Helmhotel. Martin, Simona, and the entire staff of the Hotel were extremely welcoming - we’ve never felt so welcomed at a hotel. They worked hard to accommodate any request we had, asked after our day, suggested things to go see - for example, they helped us register, get appropriate skis, told us where to find everything, and drove us over to the Giro delle Cime alpine skiing tour one day. The staff was very invested in their work, seeming to enjoy themselves very much - talking and laughing with the guests. Each day there was a different table setup at dinner, with fun napkin foldings, and the bed were made up in a different folding pattern each day.||||We were there to cross country ski, and even though the area did not have much snow, we found some amazing skiing higher up, with lovely long gradual hills, and small restaurants / coffee shops to stop and get a drink.||||The hotel food was superb. In the mornings, each person chose which appetizer, entree and dessert they wanted that evening. We took to randomly choosing a meal, because it was always good. Fresh pastas, spetzle, risotto, a variety of meats, always a vegetarian option, delicious sauces - followed by a special regional dessert or great gelato. The house white wine was lovely, as was the Inge house special process drink.||||The rooms were recently renovated, with a great view of the tops of a few nearby Dolomites, and morning sunshine flowing in. The beds were very comfortable. And all was very clean and quiet.||||The Helmhotel is definitely worth a...

We stayed Helmhotel during a weeks walking holiday in the Dolomites.||It is hard to put into words when somewhere is so good,almost perfect.||The welcome and continued service was so warm and helpful, nothing was too much trouble, from housekeeping to checking our rail tickets to Austria , going the extra mile is the benchmark for this family run hotel.||The Hotel is perfectly placed for covering the Dolomites in this area.||You can purchase a lift pass to cover 5 mountains in the area and an unlimited transport , bus , train and some lifts allows you to travel quite a large area with no fuss.||The train station is about 10 mins walk from the hotel as in the local ski lift which takes you up the Helm mountain, in the same area is a fantastic set up offering bike hire and the like.||The local bus stops right outside the hotel||The room was delightful with a balcony with awesome views.||The hotel also boasts a brand new spa which is fabulous too, the gardens are lovely and there is a pool and sun beds for the warmer days.||We stayed on half board terms and the food and service was impeccable.||A couple of evenings we chose to eat in the hotel’s pizzeria which too is awesome ||To sum up this hotel is PERFECT for a relaxing and hassle free stay in...

We had a wonderful experience at Helm Hotel! We have 3 kids (2, 5 and 7) and this was the perfect place for us. The food as others have mentioned is wonderful and the personnel incredibly helpful with tailored suggestions on what activities fit our family and interests. Dana from the restaurant was particularly helpful and sweet with our sometimes overly excited little boys! As far as activities, the mountain hero activities were great as well as the bike ride to Lienz. The kids play room, pool, and play ground provided plenty of entertainment when we wanted to relax at the hotel. The room itself was also perfect with the bunk beds in a separated area for the kids. We will definitely return to this fabulous...
