Vitalhotel Dosses — Hotel in Salten-Schlern - Salto-Sciliar

Lovely hotel! |We had a really nice stay here. I visited with my partner. ||The hotel room was lovely, quite big and very clean. The only downside is you get two duvets in the room on a double bed rather than one large one. ||They give hotel slippers and a dressing gown in the room which was great for going to the pool, they also left pool towels which was great. ||The food was lovely! Lots to choose from and always very tasty, the waiting staff were all very friendly and attentive, can’t fault them. We were half board, you have to order your dinner at breakfast ready for the evening. There was a menu that stayed the same each night and one that changed. There were 4 courses on both and you could mix and match. There were things like pasta and you could even ask for chips to go with your mains. They were very accommodating. On top of all that food, they had a salad/ cheese Buffett, you could not go hungry when staying there. ||Breakfast was also very nice, they had bacon, eggs, croissants and lots of cold meats. You could also order things like crepes which is definitely worth it, very yummy! ||The outside pool is great, you have to walk outside to get to it but it’s warm once you’re in and great swimming with snow all around you. You had to go to the second floor to get to the pool. It’s ashame as it shuts at 7pm which is fairly early when your out all day skiing. It only opens from 2pm till 7pm. I loved swimming in the pool which was surrounded by snow. ||The sauna and hot tub is really lovely, it was very peaceful in there and we enjoyed it every night, it was open till 8pm. The sauna is right at the bottom of the hotel in the basement, don’t miss it. Only downside is that you’re not meant to wear swimmers in the sauna. ||The hotel was close to the bus stop, it was opposite which was useful as I did the l ski school (booked through crystal ski) which was a short bus ride to Selva. The ski school was via ski school 2000 and the instructor was lovely. ||There was also a supermarket opposite which was useful for picking up drinks and snacks. It was quite expensive in there though. ||The town seemed quite quiet, we didn’t go out in it but had friends staying in Selva and joined them there where there was more atmosphere. There was a great bar that was underground with a brilliant atmosphere. ||The hotel had a pool table in the bar which was fun to play in the evenings (and free). ||We would definitely come back to the hotel, we had a great time...

We ended up in this hotel because our first hand choice hotel had a cancellation policy unacceptable to us. Boy are we happy how destiny played out! Wow. What can we add to all the admiration already written by others? Management clearly has a black belt in high end hospitality. Such a unique combination of homely comfort, thoughtful personal attention and professionalism in every detail. It takes hard work and dedication to constantly exceed the expectations of your guests. Not as noticeable but equally impressive is the super smooth running of the business catering for all your needs almost before you even knew you had them. We were there for a week of hiking the mountains, and had not done much research on the routes before arriving, hence a bit lost. We were given a welcome package with maps, free bus tickets and discount tickets for the whole valleys lift system. And the hotels own hiking guide Luca was on site every moring and evening to help us make all the right choices. Perfection. Now to the food: Every evening is a lovely gastronomic adventure with a choice of creative and skillfully cooked dishes with great variety. We thoroughly enjoyed it. All is cooked with fresh produce of great quality, an the chef clearly har great skills. Flavor was a bit uneven, and we found ourselves now and then reaching for the salt, but over all very high level. Don't miss the home made pasta dishes! We had an Alpina room overlooking the spectacular Sasso Longo mountain, with a lovely sunny balcony. However, the hotel is right on the main street, so there is local traffic going on just below. We were not at all bothered, but if you need absolute tranquility you might consider a room facing the back garden and pool. The central location is absolutely ideal for getting around and reaching the staring points for different hikes. We will most...

How many superlative compliments can we give Hotel Dosses? Not enough. This is our third visit and the hotel seems all the time to be improving!

However, before the review of the hotel, lets start with the village. Santa Christina is not maybe so well known as the other near by villages, but in our opinion it is the nicest and most beautiful = in addition not too big and not too small.

Hotel Dosses is located in the middle of the village with wonderful views. The terrace in front of the hotel is the best of all villages we have seen. In the afternoon, after skiing, the sun from the terrace is magnificent! Also related to ski lifts the location is excellent: slalom or cross country (Monte pana). For example Iivo Niskanen trained here before the Olympics.

The rooms are very good!1 The spa is extensive and the decor is fabulous. The entire hotel smells wonderful and is very clean. The heated pool was fantastic to use in the afternoons after skiing. One of the reasons people come back is the food and people. Multiple choices offered on the menus for dinner are healthy, gourmet, naturally sourced when possible, and local wine offerings are extensive. I loved the orange and vegetable juicers that allowed you to make your own smoothies in the morning.

It is the hotel staff from the owners, to reception, to the bar, to the restaurant, and the cleaning personnel who make this such a special place. Everyone is friendly, helpful and they treated us like honored guests, NOT tourists. This was so refreshing compared to other places I have stayed. I want to say please come and experience this place for yourself, but I don’t want this place to become too popular. I want us to always be able to come back :). We travelled: two adults and...
