This was our first skiing trip to Italy. We went to France, Switzerland and Austria, but this was really a nice surprise. Ortisei is a lovely, beautifull village with nice shops, cafes and restaurants. Nice people and a relaxed atmosphere.

The hotel is really nice aswell. A small, cosy hotel, with nice and helpfull people, who are always there for you. The rooms are fine, the food is great and the sauna is nice to relax. They organize a lot for their guests, every day something else.

The fact that the hotel is on a small hill, does not bother. In fact, the view is great, and for the people who go skiing they have each morning and evening a bus who brings you down and picks you up.

We are defenitely going back there!!

One of our best hotel experiences ever was at the lovely family owned and run Alpine Hotel Rainell in Ortisei, Italy. Set on a hillside just above the center of town it is an easy walk to town and ski lifts (but a steep 5-10 minute walk back up the hill to the hotel-you can drive up) The hotel is lovely with spacious comfortable rooms, down comforters, comfy beds, clean high end bathrooms and balconies with great views. There are nice outdoor patios in front and back. The dinners included in the very reasonable room price were excellent, lots of great food in a lovely setting with helpful friendly service. The entire staff was helpful, but especially, the owner, George who went above and beyond to help us with lost luggage and a broken down rent a car. Overall, we can't say enough good things about the Hotel Rainell and would highly recommend it to anyone staying in Ortisei! The Cheek family from Arlington, Virginia
