Garni Ariston — Hotel in Salten-Schlern - Salto-Sciliar

My stay at Garni Ariston was perfect. The location is perfect - you can see it as soon as you step off the bus. Rooms were very clean, fresh, clean bathroom. Anything you need during your stay Raffaella or her family are right there to help. Raffaella is an amazing hostess, she provides you with everything you need as soon as you get there (maps, activity guides, bus schedules, etc.). She was also extremely accommodating as I had missed the last bus in Bolzano to S. Cristina my first day and had to cancel my first night last minute. Mind you it was still low season and they weren't really booked up so might not be the same if they are at full capacity. ||||Breakfast was wonderful, lots of options - meats, cheeses, breads, yogurt things like that. ||||I would definitely recommend this b&b to those thinking of travelling to val gardena. Raffaella gives you a bus pass that is good for seven days that will allow you to travel between all the towns for free. and each town is a very short distance away, maybe like ten minutes by bus. Wifi also worked well, and there was free public wifi in S. Cristina which was...

We stayed in this hotel in the first week of March 2015. The hotel is situated in the very center of Santa Cristina, quite near to the ski lift and multiple shops and restaurants. The owner of the hotel Raffaella Nogler is very friendly and speaks many European languages. ||Our family included great grandparents, grand children and great grand children. We had one room for older members of the family and a large two room apartment with a kitchen for kids and their parents. The ski room provided a heating for ski boots. The breakfast was nice; the rooms have been cleaned regularly. We had enough place for the rented car in the garage and used this car to arrive to the wide skiing area Monte Pana. ||The Monte Pana area is beautifully equipped for kids and beginners and has 5 lifts of a rising complexity. There are more than ten groups for kids and individual trainers for beginners. An extra high qualification of trainers provides a quick progress in skiing.||For more experienced skiers there is a 4-chair lift opening the ways to multiple slopes around picturesque rocks...

This place is such a hidden gem!

Room were spacious and clean. They have a great balcony area where we were able to drink wine and have some food while looking at the magnificent views of the Dolomites. The lady that managed the place was also amazing, she was very helpful and friendly when we checked in. The breakfast she put together was also enough for a good day in the mountains. But to be advised if you would need to pay her if you were to bring some pastries out of the kitchen!

The location was also superb which was right in the middle of Val Gardena. A stone throw away from ortisei, seceda range and Sassulongo!

Parking is also available at the top of the property!

Would come back here when we come back to this...
