Bio Hotel Hermitage

My wife chose this hotel because they have a reputation for exceptional food but there are many other benefits to staying at this hotel, not least the stunning views.|The staff are bilingual in English and Italian (maybe others too). The staff training is of a very high standard indeed (I would consider it alongside the Oriental in Bangkok which is renowned for their level of service). This is a family run hotel and there is the right balance between friendliness and professionalism.|The restaurant serves top quality cuisine and, after the first evening, we decided to eat there throughout our stay.|We did not use the spa but we will certainly try it out next time we visit.

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, the owners and the whole staff are dedicated to your well-being, responsive, informative and efficient. They have impeccable manners coupled with a ready smile and treat you like an honoured relative. If you’ve managed to read this review all the way through, it will come as no surprise that the four us recommend this hotel with enthusiasm and no reservations whatsoever.

This hotel is a joy, The hotel staff are exceptionally helpful, patient and well informed regarding local walks and likely conditions. The rooms themselves are beautifully appointed and those who had balconies over looking the rear of the property, had trouble dragging themselves away from sunsets and rises. Breakfasts were lovely and the awarded dining room provisions were memorable, Use of the minivan to drop us to various lifts and gondolas was much appreciated. Would definitely stay again. Thank you to the lovely staff who assisted making this stay one of our best on a tour of the Dolomites

This boutique hotel is a gem. Don’t miss the chance to stay here - it is a memorable experience. |The setting, amazing mountain views, and stylish decor offer authentic Alpine luxury, the staff and service are second to none, but it is the cuisine that makes it exceptional; it shares a kitchen with the renowned Michelin starred Stube restaurant (definitely worth a visit) and the hotel’s 5 course dinner menu is overseen by the same chef. Every night is truly a gastronomic experience.

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!

We really love this hotel - it is the only place in the world we come back to again and again. The rooms are comfortable and so clean but the views from the rooms and terrace are spectacular. It really is in an ideal position and a lovely walk into the village. Barbara, her family and whole team are so welcoming, it is a gorgeous place to relax after walking in the mountains ( or skiing if you come in Winter). The bar and terrace are great spots to just have a drink, have lunch or sit and read a book in peace. The food deserves a special mention. We don’t normally have half board anywhere but we look forward to it here. The dinners really are wonderful and Michelin standard. The team are all lovely and so helpful - a special mention to Rueben, Stefano and Paolo but also to all the others who are too many to mention but make the Hermitage a very special place. We look forward to our next trip!

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.

We were recommended this hotel from the Ski Company we used to book our holiday (Ski Solutions, who were very good). We were looking for a resort that would be good for Intermediate Skiers, with sophisticated bars and ski hire, which turned out to be Madonna di Campiglio. This hotel is about a 25 min walk (which is very picturesque) from the main centre but the walk is optional as the hotel provides a fantastic minibus service to the town, where there are some lovely bars and restaurants, shops and the walk-in access to the ski gondoliers. The hotel is beautifully appointed, with has very welcoming staff (its a family run business) and everything is designed to be top class. The restaurant delivered top quality food for breakfast and dinner and the bar offered every tipple you could wish for, including home made Grappa by the Grandma of the family. The main beauty of this hotel though (in addition to the onsite spa) is the views from the rooms (pics attached), they are breathtaking! There was something magical about coming home from the slopes and being able to sit on our balcony, sipping a local wine and looking across to the Dolomites as the sun set. It is approx 2 hours car drive from Verona and there is parking onsite.

A third generation family hotel with friendly and highly dedicated staff, clean rooms, top notch breakfast and five course dinners and a pool area with a view to kill for. We ended up staying longer than planned. One reason was because our kids loved the place, especially the playroom and Lucce - the friendly hotel dog. The helpful staff also guided us to a number of fantastic hikes in the beautiful Dolomites. Highly recommended.
