Hotel Grones

This is one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed in. The owner and her daughter are almost always around. The room was very commodious, with excellent bed, a desk, table and chairs, sofa, and pleasant balcony. They have a dinner special every night: E30 for a five course gourmet meal. The chef is the son-in-law of the owner. The servers are incredibly attentive. They went out of their way to make sure that my wife’s food intolerances (lactose and gluten) were accounted for. Breakfasts were expansive with choices from boiled eggs to cereals to various breads and pastries. It was a bit of a hike from the village center but we went there to hike. Three ski lifts begin in Ortesei so we could zoom up a thousand feet or so and then hike in incredibly scenic country. In sum, the Hotel Grones was a superb base for our Alpine adventure.

We had a really lovely three nights at Hotel Grones. We tried to extend but they were fully booked! Won’t make that mistake again. Everything is better in person - the rooms are a generous size with nicely updated bathrooms and an extensive sauna and pool area - two levels! Our first time in Ortisei and the owners and staff took wonderful care of us. Had a lively night enjoying excellent cocktails with bartender Dani on Wednesday when the kitchen was closed. Grones is family run and run well - it is obvious they pay attention to the details. We are a little foodie so did not select the half board option but would next time. The dinners are an excellent quality and value - as others have also noted. The hotel is located up the hill from the center of town so be prepared to walk or do as we did and borrow the hotel bikes - we were down to the gondola in under 5 minutes and back in 10. Being doubly a first timer to the area and an American - I will absolutely be considering a return visit in the winter to ski, and will book at Grones without hesitation. They assured a hotel provided shuttle back and forth to the gondola so no lugging equipment up the hill.

We spent 6 wonderful nights at Hotel Grones. A truly perfect stay. The room was large, immaculate and had a lovely balcony with a great view. The meals were fantastic. The pool was lovely. The service was warm and friendly and excellent. In particular, the dining room staff - Dani, Aurelian, Victoria, and Florin were exceptionally attentive. The ladies at the front desk were also so helpful and kind. A top notch hotel.

The owners were here everyday and personally greeted everyone. They were available to answer questions about the area and the best way to reach our hiking destinations. The food was amazing!!! The rooms were large with plenty of closet space, comfortable beds, a mini refrigerator, and large bathrooms. There was an indoor pool and 3 types of saunas to relax in after a long day of hiking. We used public transportation to reach our hiking destinations. We purchased a bus pass and a 6 day lift pass which were a bargain considering how much we used them. Did I mention the food!!! Amazing breakfast every day and super every night except Wednesday.

We have just spent three nights on half board at this family-owned hotel in Ortisei in the Dolomites. It is immaculate. Quiet, spotlessly clean, furnished to a high standard, excellent owners and staff and top class meals. Our room's balcony had views across the valley. Can't praise this hotel highly enough.
