our 3 weeks long holiday in the Alpe di Siusi Seiseralm holiday. The hotel is exactly in the middle of the national park of Sciliar and Catinaccio. a real paradise in the middle of the forest side. whereever you decide to go, you can find the trekking trails. the most difficult hard mode one, or the easy family trail to do also with babies and small kids. Every morning when you wake up, you can smell the cool fresh air of the mountain, and listening to the birds singing, and the waterfall symphony sounds. That is really the nature, where you can feel yourself quite tiny, and immediately want to be part of it and begin your nice day with trekking on the mountain side, to join yourself together with the nature.
a part of the nature admiring everyday, the structures and the staffs are excellent. We feel like in the family when we are in the Bad Ratzes. the Petra team is really a great team, all the staffs are working with smile and with the maximum attention to every guest. my girl enjoyed a lot all the services they provide for the kids club. the morning side she went out with Sonia to explore the forest and all kinds of plants, and make the wood house for the forest spirits, or making the stone tower in the middle of the river. As a city girl, this 3 week holiday really taught her how nice is the nature and how important to explore the nature beauty we got. then a lot of trekkings to do everyday, she even walked around 20 km sometimes, but she enjoyed all the views and all the places she visisted.
the restaurant is great. the morning time you can have a super continental breakfast and if you got your service included, you can also prepare your lunch box for the sandwich when you go out the whole day for trekking outside. then at 15-17 everyday. you will get the snack time to enjoy some fruits and desserts or little finger salted food. then at 19 the dinner, we appreciated very much their dishes. not so gourmet because we are in the mountain side, no need to be such a gourmet for luxury dishes. but all the dishes are well cooked, with correct portion, and fresh nice local food, really appreciated a lot. we always clear up all the plates and never leave anything :)
a special thank you to Petra, she brings us to explore all the interesting things, like bee honey making, the flowers, everywhere, you can feel how she loves this place and how she takes care of it. special thank also to Sonia and Lieselotte, they took sooooo good care of my girl, and she enjoyed a lot walking and playing all the time with them. Special thanks also to Nicol and Silvia, how they are nice that take care of all our request and always available to help us at the reception side. Thanks also to Fabio, Lucia, and Aurora and Riccardo and the restaurant team for their great professional work to satisfy all the hotel guest. special thanks also to the cleaning team and also maintenance team staffs. so nice and always willing to help you whenever you need.
They provide also the tour guide service, the free of charge tour guide will bring you to all the famous places and have a cool trekking with him. or there is another guide that will take you to do some super hard mode alpinist trail.. that is really exciting and you can make your own adventure!!! the E-bike tour is amazing... i just enjoyed a lot taking the bike, in the middle of the mountain side, to reach the top... and enjoy the nature.
we will be back for sure, and thank you a lot Bad Ratzes for this special moment, with the maximum care and attention for the Covid regulars, you take care of us, and let us have this 3 week long holiday... we will never forget.
thank...
Read moreWe planned a trip to the dolomites and really did not know where to stay. So on researching the area and reviews on trip advisor and bookings.com we decided to stay at Bad Ratzes and this area of alpe de suissi. |On bookings.com and the hotel website the hotel looks the same but the rooms are a little different in size. We had one older room which was as large as the pics but not as new or plush as the photos suggest. The other room was new and plush but smaller than the pics suggest. So a mixed bag here.|But I must say the area and property are just wonderful and well kept and the views are something else. The amenities in room were better than adequate but I will not rate them as the most luxurious. The food was very good but again one more step and it would have been rated excellent. Breakfast was really good and super quality. Dinners were v good. Petra the owner and her staff were outstanding throughout and just the best service from all of them all the way.|The area is just stunning and a must do for anyone coming to the dolomites. The Kompascht near by was some of the best scenery we have ever seen, even better than Switzerland or Austria. Just breath taking.|I would say all in all a great experience. If only the rooms were made a little bit more luxurious then it would have been just an unforgettable experience.|Parking was ample and superb.|Facilities at the hotel too were great and a very warm and comfortable atmosphere created by the owner and staff.|Have to add that the rooms are not air conditioned , as ofcourse it is freezing here all year long except for June and July when we went. Would have been so good to just be able to get some fans for air circulation but these are the small touches that can take the property from v good to outstanding. The days got a but warm , nights were cool outside but needed the air to circulate inside for sure.|Highly recommend it though for all the other good points.|Petra , if you do read this thank you for a wonderful stay BUT also if you take the small pointers above you could move your hotel to the top spot and make it truly...
