Hotel Lago di Braies

We absolutely loved staying here for 4 nights of our vacation. We had exceptional care and service by all staff from arrival to the food service, drinks, etc. You can’t beat the location because this lake is one of the most beautiful you will find in the area. The proximity and backdrop of the mountains is unmatched by other turquoise lakes in the area. So many hiking trails lead from here as well. To be able to wake up to the lake view is amazing and to have access to it before and after all of the crowds is nice. Parking is convenient right beside hotel and getting in and out each day is easy even with the crowds coming to the lake. We were on an upper level floor so the view was wonderful from the balcony but there were lots of stairs to climb each way. There is an elevator but it is small and slow, so it’s easier to use the stairs, but elevator use is available for those who need it. After all the wonderful food each evening, the extra steps were good for us! We can’t wait to come back one day!

Historic and well mainted hotel. Nicest room, showers and bed of our trip. Breakfast was great with lots of protein and veggie options. Dinner was also great with appetizer buffet and then 3 courses after that all for 35 euros. Restaurant staff was very friendly and welcoming. You don't get private access to the lake and it does get busy around noon but staying right next to the lake makes it easy to get an early start when there are next to no people on the lake yet

Magical hotel right on the edge of lago di braies. The hotel is closed off to non-guests which creates an oasis of calm in an otherwise crowded area (in high season). Family run with wonderful attention to detail, such as daily special events for afternoon tea, drinks and dinner: fresh fruit and juices, exceptional buffet dinner in the garden one night, the likes of a five star hotel. Lovely hang out space outside on the lake side. Simple and beautiful old chalet style rooms - we stayed both in a lake view room and a family forest view room - the lake view rooms are definitely worth it. Would avoid the forest view family room, as just above the kitchen exhaust and the smell is extremely strong. Would highly recommend - a wonderful stay

Beautiful charming 150 year old hotel that feels like you’re going back in time. Cannot beat waking up to the mountains and lake— seeing the sunrise, and sunset here is unforgettable. The hotel had an appetizer hour the first night we arrived and had nice rooms. Breakfast was fresh and wonderful. Would highly recommend staying here for the views and experience :)

100/10 hotel. We had a room called Lake Spirit and it did not disappoint, it was on the top floor of the hotel. It had a lovely modern bathroom and had a fantastic view of the lake. The location is perfect, there is 2 restaurants next to it and a souvenir shop. There is a restaurant and bar in the hotel, the breakfast buffet was fantastic and we had dinner there a couple of times and it was also lovely! There was also a very friendly resident dog!

Amazing location and amazing hotel! We had a wonderful experience with both reception and dining employees. The reception was very helpful when it came to lost luggage delivery even after the lobby had closed and they were not obligated to help in any way but still chose to. The restaurant, bar, and cleaning staff were all very kind and patient. Above and beyond service! The staff have to protect the peace of the hotel and lake as well as their own respect, at the same time being of a different culture than most guests. My experience with the staff was great and times when I thought "this is different than what I'm used to back home" were moments for me to grow in how I understand and engage with cultural differences. We are guests, even if we are paying guests, we need to be more mindful of our own attitudes before micromanaging the attitudes of those who live here. This is their home while it is only our vacation.

Spectacular doesn’t even begin to describe the experience we had at this beautiful hotel. From being greeted by the world’s cutest dog to the views from our room, and the service e received, everything was incredible. Yanzer, the owner of the hotel couldn’t have been more kind and accommodating. Romeo, one of the server/bartenders went completely above and beyond for us every day that we were there. We stayed for 3 nights and cannot wait to come back to stay longer. We also renewed our vows on the stunning lake lago do braise. Every part of this stay is something we will not soon forget. 10/10 Thank you for making our trip so wonderful!

I stayed here for one night in their “Walker room”, a reduced-price, very basic room reserved for trekkers. Except a plain, undecorated room. Shared bathroom that wasn’t the cleanest. I got half board, and I am glad I did, because the food was amazing! Definitely the highlight of the stay. The staff weren’t terribly friendly and welcoming. Overall, I would do this again for one night before the Alta Via 1.
