“Like Living "The Sound of Music!"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Having been to Venice 4 years ago, with trips in the intervening years to Florence and Rome and environs, we wanted to return to Venice, and also see places nearby: Ravenna, Padua, and the Dolomites. Using TripAdvisor, I settled on Castelrotto or Kastelruth for the Dolomites and selected the Hotel Zum Wolf based on the few reviews, all positive, that were posted for this hotel. My wife & I were wondering if it were too ambitious to drive in the mountains, but we are so glad that we did! We learned that we were there towards the end of the "walking season." It had rained the night before, but we had two glorious days very close to heaven. Our room was as advertised, with a nice balcony overlooking the valley and very pleasantly furnished in Tyrolean pine. The bath was great, with a tub and shower combination and plenty of room. The breakfasts were fun: we boiled our own eggs and enjoyed cheeses, ham, yogurt and nice breads. The town is truly picturebook! The ski lifts to the Alpe Suisse (an 8 mile wide pasture where cows summer) were operating and there were lots of interesting trails to explore. The vistas were as if one were truly "flying like an eagle." The co-owner / wife of the innkeeper was very pleasant and offered us good suggestions for hikes and restaurants. I heartily recommend exploring this part of Italy and, if you are in the area, I would recommend that you stay at this lovely inn. If you are a fan of Donna Leon's novels, you may know that her detective Brunetti dreams in the hot summers of sleeping in the Dolomites under down coverlets. This inn, indeed, provided the plushest, nicest down coverlets and pillows that I have ever experience in any inn anywhere.

“Very nice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2010

Very nice place, helpful staff, right in the middle of town. If you're staying in Castelrotto it's a great place. All in all, though, I would recommend staying closer to the Alpe de Suisa or up on the mountain itself if you can afford it, since that's where all the hiking & skiing are.

“Great location, not fancy, but spacious with great views from some rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2010
2
people found this review helpful

Excellent location in center of town and right in front of the main bus terminal in Castelrotto. Once you arrive in Castelrotto there is no need to drive as there is complimentary bus service. Quaint hotel with beautiful views from the rear facing rooms. Rooms are not fancy but adequate. It is worth upgrading to the suite rooms as the extra space is very nice. Wireless internet is avaliable only in the lobby for a fee. Breakfast is adequate, but nothing special. Front desk personnel are knowledgeable and pleasant, but not overly warm. Avoid all three of their listed restaurant recommendations (particularily the Liftstuberl) as these were the only bad meals we had in two weeks in Italy.

“Wonderful location--especially when construction is done”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 July 2010

Unfortunately the town is undergoing major construction so some of the roads are closed, making it a challange to get in and out. We had a large room with what will be a nice view. There is a lift which was very good. The staff most helpful, suggesting drives through the Dolomites. Many resturants nearby

“nothing was too much trouble”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2010

we were made extremely welcome - good breakfast , comfortable rooms, honesty bar, booking of restaurants that were children friendly AND had great food ... very good local information and advice - happy to telephone to check if we had to hire toboggans at the bottom of the chair lifts or hire at the top ... the list of our requests was endless and met with a smile and very helpful. This is the first review I have have put onto Tripadvisor -but felt compelled to do so as we had such a great time at Zum Wolf !!
