Boutique Hotel Dorer

Hotel Dorer is a proper old-fashioned little hotel, which the same family has been proud to own for generations. We stayed three nights, taking an “apartment” on the top floor which was furnished quite simply but gave us beds, sitting room space, a small balcony, and a super clean bathroom with a powerful shower. The proprietor Manuela helped us make the most of our time, lending us a hiking map for some fantastic local trails, and showing us through her photo album of the hotel’s history over the last century. We enjoyed two dinners in the truly excellent and quite formal restaurant, where husband Salvatore is the chef. It feels more relaxed in the mornings when the breakfast is pretty sumptuous. We also took advantage of the little spa - swimming pool, sauna, solarium spaces - which is for guests only. I think this place would be really magical in winter, with a little ski-lift just down the road.

Superb cuisine! Lovely comfy and traditional rooms! Exceptional personalised and friendly service. Even a swimming pool with great facilities! They remembered our rooms, favoured table and even which water we prefer! Great family run hotel, pretty and seasonal decor, a favourite of ours in the Black Forest.
