The decor also reflects the owners and the heritage (Chinese placements and wall hangings in a German pub doesn't really work for me). At least it was open lateish (9pm on a Tues night) and the food was ok (nothing to write home about) but sustaining. It has a mix of German and Chinese food (I had the German stuff but wondered whether I should have chosen the Chinese). Cost for 4 people was EUR60.

Stayed here for two nights (of 6 days hiking in the Dolomites... great trip) and this place has it…read moreall. Super friendly staff. Nice-size rooms. A great (Michelin-starred) restaurant (St Hubertus... see separate review) that is semi-attached. Okay... two down sides: the "terrace" area is a little on the less-cared-for side...I don't think many people even go out there. And... the actual fitness center gym is, in my wife's words, "Bogus"... no free weights and a few scattered older/funkier machines (and a few legit ones). But the pool, sauna, steam room and rest of the spa seemed great. The usual amazing breakfast buffet you find in most decent European hotels... see pix. The bar area is intimate and well served by the bartender who seems to have his hands full with other activities as well. The sommelier who takes care of all your wine needs at St Hubertus was nice enough to give our group a wine tasting in the hotel bar area (three wines that all came with bites of food from the restaurant, as well). After the tasting he led us through some back work corridors and into the working kitchen for the Michelin restaurant for some more treats including eh nicest, tenderest Speck I've ever had. I gotta say, it felt like we were getting the star treatment there and a lot of that may be due to the fact that we were with a Backroads Tour (see review).

This darkly or moodily lit bar near the…read moreheart of the village has a relaxed atmosphere with good music and comfy seating, ideal for passing an evening by in the company of friends. It can be full of the 'beautiful people' sometimes so don't come in shabby clothes but otherwise it's probably the nicest bar in town in terms of decor. They are known for the cocktails but the beer and wine is good although all are quite expensive so you'd need to be fairly flush with cash to enjoy this place to the full.

We went to La Sieia for dinner one night after our hotel recommended it as the best pizza spot in…read moreSan Cassiano. Although our hotel did call ahead for a reservation, there was some confusion as the amount of English-language comprehension here is substantially lower than other places we had been to in the area. This spot features as an après-ski lounge in the winter, and it's easy to see how this is the case, with low wooden ceilings, a very lodge-like feel, and animal furs (real or fake? I'm not sure) lining the seats, even in August. Despite the langugae barrier, we were able to get our food and drink order in easily enough, and everything was brought out quite quickly. The menu was multilingual, making it easy for us to figure out what to order. The drink selection includes cocktails, beers, and wine; the cocktails are pretty standard, if nothing special (my caipirinha was way too sweet), while the beer selection was limited...wine was likely the better choice. For food, we kept it simple (as did the menu - I did not see anything other than pizzas listed)...3 pies to share amongst everyone. All of the pies were fantastic; I would say my favorite was probably the porcini mushroom pie, which kept it simple with tomato, mozzarella and the aforementioned fungi. The mushrooms were pungent (in a good way) and infused a lot of flavor into each bite. The buffalo mozzarella pizza (which also was topped with sliced cherry tomatoes and basil) was delicious as well; the blotches of the creamier mozzarella stood out against the base mozzarella. The house pizza 'La Sieia' was probably my least favorite, largely because it had a bit too much on it (onions, garlic, pepperoni, ham). It was a bit like a generic 'supreme' pizza from America, and although the flavors were good, there was too much happening at the same time. The crust was very thin on each pie, but it meant that we did not get stuffed eating carbs...a good thing in my book. While the 'lounge' aspect (i.e. drinks) may not be its forte, La Sieia does an excellent job with their pizzas on balance, with the simpler ones being plenty delicious on their own. If you are looking for a good pie in town, this is definitely a place to check out.
