Nature Hotel Delta — Hotel in Pustertal - Val Pusteria

My adult daughter and I had only 2 nights to spend in the Dolomites in Italy, and we wanted the full mountain experience, not a chain hotel in a city near the mountains. Nature Hotel Delta is way out in the country with mountains completely surrounding you in all directions. Yes, there are some other hotels nearby, and from the balcony in your room, you can see the village way below, but - you look in every direction, and you see amazing mountains. One reason I picked this hotel is that there were hiking trails that start right outside this hotel that were fairly level, which is important to me due to fibromyalgia, and my daughter was also having mobility issues at the time. So, there is a nice fairly level trail for people who are less physically able - I can walk, but wanted to see the mountains without the necessity of doing something really strenuous. We are able to walk to a little stream and to a waterfall,l and a lot of beautiful scenery. If you in good shape physically, there is lots more you can do, but for us, the walk to the waterfall was wonderful. (If you do have physical challenges, do not take any of the large loop trails but just walk to the waterfall and come back the same way - it's a beautiful walk, and we found out after we decided to keep on, it would have been better had we not. Beautiful, but - too much for our limits. But we have great memories of this place. Every room has a balcony with great views. It is very, very clean and comfortable and nicely, simply decorated. Tiny vases of mountain wild flowers at the dinner table. The included breakfast was plentiful, delicious and with many choices, in a very pleasant dining room. The evening meals were optional and featured local specialities which we loved. It's a family run restaurant, very friendly and helpful people, good English. The man at the front desk did advise me on the best route for a walk due to my limitations - but my daughter wanted to do more than we could. But - it was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. We got here by taking the train from Innsbruck through the Brenner Pass, and that whole journey was beautiful also. The Dolomites were amazing, and this was a great place to get in the midst of them. There is a lot of skiing here in the winter, and in the summer, there is hiking and a lot to do for adventurous healthy people who have more time and energy than we had - My daughter and I would certainly go back and stay longer if we ever get the opportunity. This hotel does close for a break at the end of summer, until the ski season starts - we were there right at the end of September before they closed, so it was especially quiet with fewer guests, and apparently fewer choices for supper, though we were well fed and enjoyed the food. Our room seemed large, and maybe it seemed larger, too, because of the balcony which we enjoyed. It was very clean and comfortable. We had to leave early before breakfast our last day, and they fixed a large food back for us, very generous, to keep us going through our travel day - soft drinks, sandwiches, I don't remember it all now, but very good and much...

My husband and I arrived on December 16 after a 12 hour journey. We are 73 and 76, so we were a bit tired. The greeting was perfunctory to say the least. Everything was in shut down including the bar and we were desperate for a cuppa. So we made one in our room but there was no milk. I went to reception and was given some milk in a glass, the receptionist seemed bemused why we needed milk but we were given some in a glas, no jug available. At 7 pm we went to the bar for a pre dinner drink The young man serving us was lovely . However he was very quickly being told off very firmly by the man who runs the dining room , It appears he shouldn't have been serving us but should have been serving in the dining room He did leave and so the bar was unattended! The man who runs the dining room continued to be very grumpy and unfriendly when was sat down to dinner ! My husband enjoyed the food and his meat and fish courses looked lovely Unfortunately it was a different story for me. On the first night I thought I would be OK as the salad buffet was really nice, but the following 3 nights the same leftover salads and cold griddled vegetables were presented. What hAd been a crispy shredded lettuce and seed salad became a tasteless soggy offering by the third night as were the cold griddled veg with congealed cheese on them. The non vegetarians were given new snack meat and fish offerings. Sadly the Mail vegetarian courses I found inedible Gnocchi which was served as too large soggy dumplings( half of my family are Italian, I know what Gnocchi should look and taste like) worst of all a so called vegetable casserole which was a thick soup like group with no recognisable veg in it with boiled rice and grains in the middle. I looked around the room and other people were not eating this nor did they eat the slab of tasteless aubergine with a smear of tomato sauce on top. I could go on !||Unfortunately on the third day I had a recurrence of some symptoms I had following cancer treatment and we decided to cut short our visit by 4 days Had this been a friendlier place with decent food I may have been able to continue our stay but I was not able to eat the food and I was spooked by the lack of Service . This is supposed to be a family run hotel but I don't know who they are.! We have been Skiing for 40 years and I have never leafy a bad review This place is impersonal and uncaring My husband explained my health issue to them and they couldn't care less and when we left we didn't even get a Have a good journey. We hadn't complained or asked for anything. Two years ago we stayed in Ortisei at the Hotel Angelo Engel which was amazing If travelling to the dolomites I recommend you go there. As for me I will be back to Lech in Austria next year They are so...

Abbiamo soggiornato per la seconda volta nello stesso periodo dopo la fantastica vacanza dell'anno scorso. La struttura, di recente ristrutturazione, si trova in località Mesoles, appena fuori Colfosco (a pochi minuti di auto o una decina di minuti a piedi lungo un sentiero ben illuminato anche la sera), in una zona strategica che la rendono silenziosa e con una vista magnifica sulla valle. C'è un parcheggio privato gratuito scoperto antistante la struttura. I collegamenti con Corvara sono garantiti delle navette gratuite per i turisti che soggiornano negli hotel e per i paesi vicini, e non solo, con degli autobus di linea (il biglietto lo si fa direttamente sul mezzo). La fermata si trova a due minuti a piedi dall'hotel. Anche gli impianti per raggiungere varie mete sono vicini. Nell'hotel tutto è al posto giusto, tutto curato in modo maniacale e pulito sia negli spazi comuni, sia nella stanza.

Abbiamo soggiornato in una camera deluxe con vista valle (davvero suggestiva). La camera aveva un bel terrazzo, con sedie e tavolino, diviso dalla stanza da una parete vetrata luminosissima. Arredata tutta in vero legno regalava una sensazione di "calore" ed un'atmosfera molto rilassante grazie anche ad una serie di luci (di una gradazione diversa in base alla loro collocazione) ben posizionate in tutta la stanza. Ci sono sia le tende oscuranti che le tapparelle elettriche che regalano il vero buio per quando ci si vuole svegliare più tardi. La camera molto ampia, con doccia separata da wc e bidet con apposita porta che separava gli spazi dedicati. Nel bagno c'erano due lavandini con altrettanti specchi. Tutti gli accessori sono ben studiati e pratici a partire da una cassetta di sicurezza gratuita ed una macchina del the/caffè.

La colazione e la cena potevano essere servite nella sala pranzo oppure sulla terrazza esterna (se le condizioni meteo lo permettevano) con un panorama molto suggestivo. Colazione a buffet servita dalle ore 07:30 alle 10. Bevande calde, come the o caffè, o uova cucinate in diversi modi venivano servite ai tavoli dal personale sempre molto attento alle preferenze dei clienti. Al buffet si trova di tutto.. brioches, yogurt, pane delizioso, marmellate, salumi, formaggi, cereali, frutta, succhi etc.. La cena, prevista dalle ore 19 alle 21, includeva: buffet di antipasti e verdure molto ricco e vario, un primo a scelta tra tre piatti, un secondo a scelta tra tre piatti ed un dolce. Tra i piatti proposti almeno un primo ed un secondo erano vegetariani. Antipasto e pane sono a buffet mentre i piatti vengono serviti al tavolo. La mattina durante la colazione si trova il menù della cena per poter già indicare le proprie preferenze. I piatti più tipici sono quelli più degni di nota sebbene anche gli altri siano deliziosi e ricercati.

La zona Relax, libera ed aperta dalle 15 alle 19, si trova al terzo piano della struttura con vista panoramica e terrazzo esterno. Ci si trova una sauna finlandese, una bio ed un bagno turco. Gli spazi sono davvero ampi e ben pensati per un rilassamento davvero efficace.

Al piano sotto la reception si trova una ski room che d'estate diventa una zona dedicata allo stivaggio degli attrezzi/scarponi, biciclette che uno si porta. Ogni stanza ha un suo armadietto dedicato con il numero della stanza ed apertura con la stessa chiave magnetica. Ci si trova anche un ampio lavabo.

Personale molto gentile, disponibile, coinvolgente e professionale.

Quest'anno, per problemi familiari importanti, abbiamo interrotto anticipatamente il nostro soggiorno e quando lo abbiamo comunicato al proprietario siamo rimasti davvero stupiti. Sebbene gli spettasse il pagamento dell'intero periodo prenotato, e senza nessuna richiesta in tal senso da parte nostra, si è dimostrato davvero un signore facendoci saldare solo per i giorni effettivi in cui avevamo...
