Bio Hotel Hermitage

My husband, our two young adults and I truly love this hotel. Everyone and everything in it is making you feel entirely welcome, utterly comfortable and is devoted to make you enjoy your stay in the manner best suited to you. The best description I can find is the perfect mix between cosy and elegant. We came once, returned and already booked again for next year. We book the most simple rooms, but these are very comfortable, spotlessly clean, have a well equipped bathroom with an excellent shower and a nice balcony. The common areas are delightful. The bar and lounge is capacious, sunny, sports a wonderful view, has a cosy decor and very comfortable armchairs and sofas - you can read or work in peace during the day , have a scrumptious piece of cake (courtesy of the hotel) in the afternoon, drinks (I believe from lunchtime onwards), and/or a cigar in the totally insulated and perfectly ventilated smoking room. The dining room is both comfortable and elegant, with sufficient distance between the tables to ensure your conversation remains private. The spa is a haven of peace and relaxation. The swimming pool with jacuzzi, the bio-sauna that smells delicious, the traditional nordic sauna, the hammam and the powerful multi-jets showers are bound to restore your tired muscles. The herbal tea, delightful chaises-longues and stunning view over the outdoors are equally bound to relax you. In terms of food, the hotel has both a one-star Michelin restaurant and a “regular” restaurant. The half-board formula includes dinner at the “regular” restaurant, but regular is a misnomer for the delicious cuisine on offer: fresh produce, very savourily cooked and seasoned, and catering to all tastes (including vegetarians) with an antipasto, salad bar, 3 choices of starters, 3 choices of mains and 2 choices of dessert. To boost, the chef is willing and able to go the extra mile and beyond for people with specific tastes or food allergies. I’m severely allergic to garlic, onions, chives, shallots, leeks (and any other members of that family), which is not easy to accomodate in Mediterranean countries. Each night I was given the same choices with necessary alterations, and not only had I not a single bit of my forbidden food but the altered dish was always mouth-watering. The wine list is quite extensive and caters to all purses and tastes. We had excellent local white and red wines for 30 euro max per bottle. The breakfast buffet, cold spread and hot food, is the best we’ve had - and we’ve had many over the course of 40 years of travels.. The hotel drivers bring you and your skis (which can be stored at the hotel unless you choose to book a locker at the start of the slopes) to the 2 mostly used ski lifts areas at anytime and pick you back up, they are also willing to drive you to others less used spots outside of the most crowded departures and return times. It takes very little time to drive from the hotel to the ski lifts. Last but not least, th

What a beautiful experience we had at the Biohotel Hermitage! From the moment you walk in, wonderful Barbara and her staff take you in as if you were family. They truly understand the meaning of warm hospitality. I am a person who seeks out small charming hotels in stunning locations. The Hermitage exceeded my expectations. The views, the fabulous dinners, breakfasts and afternoon cakes, the relaxing spa-- all add to a very special experience. What a find! What a treasure! These wonderful people created a very memorable experience for us. Thank you!

Incredibly special hotel, with a family vibe, a Michelin quality restaurant, and stunning back drop. Truly a special experience, with a staff that makes you feel like you’re at home, without being overwhelming. Incredibly fine balance, which they have nailed. It was our first time and we didn’t know what to expect, so only did half board, but happily could have eaten all of our dinners there. Breakfast was great, and the staff were super friendly and great with the kids. Afternoons after skiing, we enjoyed the ‘cake happy hour’ which was a really interesting idea that I had never seen. Delicious homemade cakes, strudels, and pastries. The kids loved it. The spa was a perfect way to recharge after skiing with the pool, steam room, and multiple saunas all overlooking the Dolomites. Finally, our free shuttle into town and back each day. We were concerned about it being a hassle, but turned out to be a highlight of the day. We never waited more than a few minutes, and Enzo the driver was a gem. We looked forward to seeing him, and our girls were riding up front with him by the end. Just a truly magical place, with no detail spared, a foodie’s heaven, and a backdrop that looks fake. Can’t say enough about it.
