Rainell Dolomites Retreat

The family and staff of Rainelle are so welcoming and delightful. The Silent Room with the incredible view of the mountains was a special experience that sets this hotel above the rest. The rooms are especially large and comfortable. There is a taxi stand in town that we took one evening after dinner since the bus had stopped running, to avoid the long walk up the hill. We walked the hill twice and it is challenging but totally doable if you are in decent shape. We are in our early 60s and in the area to hike so it didn't bother us too much.

This hotel was amazing in every way! From the impeccable service, the kind and helpful staff, the beautiful rooms, delicious food—the Rainell is in a league of its own. Be sure to check out the gorgeous pool/spa area.

We chose the Rainell as our base for five nights hiking in the Val Gardena area. It is located on the hill just outside of and overlooking the town of Ortesei with really nice views. We stayed in an Alpin suite and chose half board (breakfast and dinner included). The Rainell is a family owned and operated hotel. The owners are very involved in the day to day operations and were so lovely and helpful (like all the staff here), giving us some excellent tips for our day hikes. Our room was large, well equipped and we had a really nice view over Ortesei from our balcony. The food was excellent at the hotel. Breakfast was hearty with plenty of options to choose from and dinner was four courses plus a salad buffet.. No one goes hungry at the Rainell after a day of hiking!! The restaurant and bar staff were always there to help with recommendations. One thing to note, is that you are allocated a table in the dining room for the duration of your stay-you eat at that same table for all your meals. A big bonus for us is that the hotel has a washer and dryer for guest use which was really convenient. It is coin operated and wasn't busy at all..

Nice view, friendly staff at the restaurant

Cold lady at the reception, not very welcoming and poor communication about the facilities and the local area.

Fair price

Great view, nice breakfast, clean and tidy

This was a beautifully maintained property. All the staff were friendly and helpful and went out of their way to assist the guests. Lots of ammenities too! We were given some great hiking advice from the front desk. The town was so cute and we were able to take the gondolas/lifts to the top for some spectacular hiking. Highly recommend this family owned hotel!

Great staff, outside areas and location to town. The wellness area was wonderful!

We had to use a towel to keep water from the shower spilling out into the bathroom floor.
