Rainell Dolomites Retreat

5 night stay while hiking in the area. Excellent stay, great accommodation, plenty of facilities including indoor / outdoor pool, wellness room, sauna and gym. Breakfast & dinner exceptional variety & quality and all the staff from the front desk, restaurant, bar and housekeeping so polite, friendly & helpful. Close to all facilities in Ortisei even if the climb back up from town is steep and challenging. Plenty of parking space at the hotel. Would not hesitate to stay here again

Our family of three enjoyed a wonderful four night stay at the Rainell in early June. This small, family run hotel is comfortable yet elegant with many special touches and attention to detail. The food was exceptionally good, with varied and creative options (including vegetarian) and always featuring some authentic local favorites. Our server, Yvonne, was top notch in every way. Our ten year old daughter especially enjoyed the trampoline with incredible views of Ortisei, and the pool with new sauna and relaxation areas were a great place to unwind after exploring the area. Highly recommend this unique hotel.

We stayed 3 nights at this cute hotel, located near the center of Ortisei with half board. The location is great, since it’s very near to the cable car to the Alpi di Suisi. You can either walk into town, or park your car at the parking lot of the cable car and from there venture into town. The service was great! But the food was Michelin star quality!!! Every night we had a 4 course meal, and every dish was more amazing than the next!! We’re planning to go back there in the winter!! Amazing hotel!

We stayed in 2 rooms with 4 adults for 5 nights for a hiking holiday. Family Mahlknecht and team are just perfect. So kind and always willing to help. Thanks to Daniela (reception) we have been able to make to most beautiful hikes in the area (she's a very kind local expert!). And thanks to Yvonne, Willy, Patricia and Gaby, the breakfast/dinner/after dinner were a real pleasure, every day! The location is great (next to the cable car and in the city center), the hotel is very nice, the meals were excellent (compliments for the chef!) with great wines, the rooms are very nice and the wellness (swimming pool, sauna and garden) was super. Also the mountains and cities were very nice. A real recommendation for more visits!

We highly recommend this hotel. Only issue is it is 10 minutes by walk frrom center of ortisie.

We stayed for one week in September to hike the local area. The hotel is in an excellent location and has a commanding outlook over Ortisei with views across the valley to Seceda from the restaurant and outdoor pool. Its a short, but steep walk up from Ortisei to the hotel (or wait for the local bus!). We found the staff very helpful, particularly the hotel owner (Georg) and receptionist who provided detailed advice for transportation and places to visit during our stay. Hand sanitizing stations were placed at many locations around the hotel which we appreciated. Staff wore masks as required. We enjoyed both breakfast and dinner. A large buffet of hot and cold items were available for breakfast. Eggs (with ham/back/speck) were cooked to order. My wife's gluten-free diet was provided for during both meals. For the evening meal, our sever explained each course and whether or not it could be prepared in a gluten-free manner. We often returned from our hikes in the early afternoon and got to enjoy the outdoor pool (which was not busy at that time). Our only wish is that the Superior Room that we rented had a nicer view with more up-to-date bathroom fittings. It did not detract from the enjoyable stay, but the room was at the rear of the hotel close to the vents from the kitchen. We awoke to the smell of fresh cooked croissants in the morning so it had its positive attributes! We would visit again particularly in the winter to see how the new ski-out trail from Alpi Suisi down to Ortisei connects near the hotel. Recommended.

Loved the place, the hosts were amazing. Thank you.
