Dorfhotel Beludei

This was a wonderful way for us to begin our journey into the Dolomites. Santa Christina is a smaller quaint town between Ortisei and Selva Gardena. There is not much in the town so having a hotel that takes care of everything for you is essential in Santa Christina. The hotel is immaculate at all times. The lobby and dining room are both warm, Comfortable and inviting. The staff greet you with smiles and kindness and that never changes. We stayed 4 nights in a Belsuite room. The views are amazing right off your private balcony. Parking underground was free and very convenient. Highly recommend to book the half board which gives you a full breakfast every morning at 7:30am. There is a ample midday “snack” which runs until around 4-5pm (huge when coming back from a 6 hour hike) and then a 3 course dinner (with some choices that you pick at breakfast). Food was really good. Simple flavors with reasonable portions for each course. Don’t fill up on bread, though as there is plenty of food at each meal. The staff were the best part of the experience. David the bartender and Sommelier was the best. Every night we allowed him to choose a wine for us. We went with local wines and his recommendation each night and all of them were fabulous. I tried single malt whiskey from Bolzano and even local Italian gin at his recommendation. He really cares about the “story behind the wine”. 5 stars for David. All the servers were wonderful but Angelo was the standout. His command of German, Italian and English was not unnoticed by us and he makes very guest feel special. Gave the dining experience a very high end feel and was as good as any place we’ve been. He notices everything and will approach every guest with kindness, patience and class. The spa is remarkable. Huge pool at just the right temp (we never saw another soul in the pool). The rooftop hot tub just cool enough to be able to sit for as long as you like. Finnish Sauna was super hot. I sauna and have stamina but this had me running for the shower every 5 minutes. Turkish bath also clean and fragrant. So overall we really enjoyed our stay. Would highly recommend to anyone, especially as a couple. One more thing. Buses are free with a pass from the hotel so traveling between Ortisei and Selva is easy (but they get crowded and are not so fragrant (even in mid September)). Best hike was the Sassalungo circuit. We did the coffin lift to the top and cut between the mountain. It was raining and the trek between the mountain pass was a little treacherous but so worth it. The Rifugio Vicenza was amazing. Gotta go. Enjoy the Dolomiti!

We stayed here for 5 nights in early June I’d just like to say this was one of the most amazing hotels I’ve ever stayed at in a truly stunning part of the world, the team Luis and Manuel have put together are extremely hard working and pleasant all whilst trying to make your stay truly remarkable. The food was fantastic with delicious meals served every day with differing choices to suit everyone’s taste. Our room was so comfortable with great views over the towering Sassalonga truly breathtaking. The swimming pool, hot tub and and spa facilities were a very welcome relaxant after a hard day’s walking with the very knowledgeable guide Taddeo who made our treks into the mountains a lot more interesting than we would ever managed on our own. Thank you everyone for your kindness we appreciate what you did to make our stay so enjoyable, hopefully we will be back one day. ♥️

The hotel was wonderful, the food fabulous and the staff could not do more for you. I suffered a ski accident and the staff were so helpful, advising and then booking my doctor's appointment. One of the best hotels that I have stayed in, and having had a long business career I have stayed in many across the world. But I can safely say that I have never experienced a more attentive group of hotel staff anywhere. I would highly recommend this hotel.

This is one of those "hidden gems." Off the beaten path, not yet discovered, and yet I do not know why. The property is inviting, warm and exceeded all of our expectations. Luis, Manuel and all of the staff were extremely gracious, made us feel so welcome and had a great deal of insights to make our visit that much more enjoyable. Having a ski room to store our ski equipment and providing a boot dryer was a big plus. David, (head waiter?) was appropriately attentive and our shuttle driver to the slopes (Angelo?) was equally gracious. Not one detail was missed by the staff and if we ever needed something, it was provided in an instant. The meals were delicious, fresh and creative. We had to cut back on our mid day meals while skiing as we knew there was going to be a lovely 5 course dinner waiting for us each night. And then to top of our day on the slopes, we took full advantage of the welleness center enjoying the turkish bath, hot tub and sauna each and every day. We look forward to making a return in the future for sure.
