Naturhotel Leitlhof

We had a panoramic suite and the view from our room was wonderful. The entire experience was exceptional with a personal touch. During every meal we had the same designated table with our name on it. The food, the service, and the spa were incredibly good. We had one rainy day and we are glad we spent it in the hotel enjoying the wellness area. Would definitely come back here next time we visit the Dolomites.

We stayed for a week with 2 small children - a toddler and a baby. We loved this hotel - the views, the food, the staff! Our room was spacious and clean. Pros: - Room - large size, comfy beds, and good pillows, blackout blinds, terrace/balcony - Ambience and beautiful views - Attentive, kind and friendly staff - Amazing food (definitely worth going half board at minimum). Incredible breakfast buffet, and a 5-course dinner menu that changes daily: - Facilities - modern interiors, beautiful pools and spa, kids room - Location - 10 min walk to town, yet sits on a hill for amazing views - Parkimg - Activities - organised trips and hikes by the hotel staff - Allows children and dogs Room for improvement: - No air conditioning - this wouldn’t be an issue outside of summer but we were here in June and it was 26-27 degrees outside. The rooms retain heat. It was very difficult to sleep on the night at these temperatures even with all windows opened. I would definitely recommend for hotel owners to install air conditioning or at minimum provide floor fans in rooms during summer months or on demand. - WiFi in room. We had issues with the WiFi signal in our room (15) which would only work by the window or by the door but generally we would have no signal in room. WiFi worked well in all public areas but not our room. This was a bit of a pain. - Temperature of outside pool. We were told that both inside and outside pools were heated to 30 degrees - however the pool outside felt significantly colder due to outside air temperatures cooling the water. I would suggest for outside pool to be heated to higher temp - 33-34 degrees perhaps to account for air cooling. To our children, the outside pool felt cold and they preferred to stay inside. - No kettle/tea making facilities in the room. As British we love our tea - not being able to boil hot water in our room is unusual for this calibre of a hotel, especially as I love a cup of tea before bed at midnight and there was nowhere to get it. Overall we absolutely loved our stay here. The staff were friendly and incredibly patient with our kids who were a bit of a handful - big shout out to Beatrice and Adolfo for providing excellent service at meal times! We can’t wait to return here!

Very nice hotel but only four stars not because it is not a nice hotel but because it aims to compete with the better hotels but it is not yet there. Mentioning just one potential peer, the Granvara in Selva is an exceptional hotel while this hotel has basically all the same things but always a level below due often to unfortunate choices instead of lower quality. For example, our room was enormous, but the space was comprised of a teeny, tiny bathroom (with a toilet and bidet in a separate small closet), a nicely sized sleeping area and then a massive and almost empty sitting area with a couch and lots of empty floor space. This is a massive miss and at least some portion of that enormous empty space should have been incorporated into a nicer bathroom instead of the tiny closet one must squeeze into. This is basically the first thing one notices about the room and surely the architect or designer knew this but somebody made a decision somewhere to follow this path instead - cost perhaps? Another example is the parking, which is painfully short of what is needed. There is a very small underground parking garage that holds perhaps 40 cars (?) and then the back-up is a small sliver of ground behind the building. When we were there, the hotel was not full yet cars were having to park in odd spots just to squeeze in somewhere. Another odd architectural failure for what otherwise seems to have been a recently renovated hotel. Really quite the head-scratcher. And yes there is no air conditioning, which we Americans just are stunned by but is the trend in Europe sadly. Just know before you go! On the other hand, everything is quite clean, the dining room is spacious, the public spaces have a nice upscale IKEA-like design, there was a lovely social one evening with a talented musician, snacks and drinks and the spa/pool facilities are nice. The views are also great. The kitchen was adequate, with a decent breakfast spread, including abundant choices for eggs and other breakfast mains. Dinner, on the other hand, showed greater goals than achievements with acceptable food and an ok salad bar, but definitely not comparable to what might be thought of as peer hotels. We were particularly disappointed with the meat entrees, which were often fatty and fairly tasteless, whereas the fish dishes were more highly regarded. With so much going for it, these shortcomings were a disappointment. Some items (such as the parking situation) will be harder to fix than others, but this is a lovely hotel that is missing the mark in a number of areas to make it an excellent hotel.
