Hotel Alpino Plan

We have just returned from our second visit to this hotel ( booked via tui). If you are looking for a base for a walking / hiking holiday in the Dolomites, this hotel has everything you need at a very reasonable price. The food is superb, especially the five course dinners which we thoroughly enjoyed each evening. The bus stop is outside the door and it is only 10 minutes' walk into the pretty town of Selva and the Ciampinoi gondola and Costabella chair lift. The walking trails are very well marked and the views in all directions are stunning. The staff are all very friendly, efficient and welcoming and go above and beyond to ensure their guests feel looked after. As other reviews have said, the decor could be described as dated but all the fittings are very good quality and were built to last!

Hotel a little dated but absolutely fine as it goes with its character. Family run/owned hotel and they couldn't be more helpful. Spotlessley clean, beds made and rooms cleaned everyday, showers hot and powerful. Ask for an extra pillow as there was only one each in our room and a little flat, we asked and extra pillows in our room for when we got back. The evening meals here are amazing, you will not go hungry. 4 courses each evening, actually 5 if you count the salad and breads. I'm a vegetarian and very fussy with food, the food here is amazing, infact the best I have had on my travels and I have travelled a lot. A bus pass was provided free of charge by the hotel, and the bus stops are very close to the hotel, the pass covers quite a distance so we used it to travel to Bonzano for the day and to get to cable cars further afield. I recommend getting a 6 day pass for the cable cars, we paid £130 each and was well worth it, to get to the heights and hike around the wonderful Dolomites. We only stayed 7nts but wish it had been 14 as there is so much to see and the transport is very good. If I was staying in Selva again I would definately choose this basic small family run hotel, we were treated very well and all guests felt the same, very friendly although didn't appear that way first impression, don't judge by first impression, it was just perfect for us.

We first visited the Alpino ten years ago. Thankfully, not much has changed. We enjoyed the same excellent service, delicious food and spotless housekeeping. One change for the better, is a new link off the piste, meaning you can now ski back to within 20m the front door. The Alpino is a little way out of the village up a longish hill. The ski bus stops very near by and it is possible to get a taxi from the village centre if you’ve missed the last one. Overall, the Alpino is a great place to stay for exploring the endless Dolomiti Superski area.
