The room on the 4th floor had a spectacular view off the balcony! The room itself was spacious, super clean and nicely appointed. The internet was a bit slow but who cares . Free bike loan got us around town, and nearby towns but if you plan on riding after dark, bring your own lights...otherwise bikes in good mechanical condition. They do provide a rudimentary lock. Carmen at the desk was was super helpful and knew English quite well.. We did not try and wellness or spa features.

The mountains around the town make it very lovely and we enjoyed our stay. The female owner makes this hotel special .. she's so friendly and charming .. and does everything with flare. Dinner entrees were served under silver domes and the unveiling was coordinated for effect. Over all the food on this tour was very disappointing but this was by far one of the better meals included. This Hotel dates back to 1826 as the oldest in town. The decor and woodworking is gorgeous though you do have to watch out for splinters .. so don't shuffle your feet. The doors have real keys with the heaviest key-fabs you've ever seen and some of the door ways are so dark you would find a flashlight helpful. I thought the town, hotel and our room were very cute. Loved having a balcony to go out on with a view. The beds were super firm .. all the beds in Europe have been FIRM which wasn't my comfort preference but must be a Europe thing. the free internet was slow and spotty but enough to check in with family. We had a do not disturb sign on the door but the staff entered anyway .. to clean the room .. close the shudders etc. Didn't like they came in though we put the do not disturb sign .. but noting was stolen or seemed out of place. There is no AC or Fans .. so we were a bit too warm ... thankfully it was spring not summer. As with many in Europe they did not provide hair conditioner which is standard in areas. Even though there were a few things wrong .. the owner was so funny and charming .. we loved her and our stay. When we were leaving she got in the road and stopped traffic for all our group to cross. Now that is service!!!!!

With a large group we could easily have ordered full sized pastas for a few Euros more you can build your own 2-3 selection sampler. The venison and bottarga were exceptional. Quick tip: the venison sings with a touch of salt so don't be afraid to personalize. It's worth saying again. The views cannot be beat.

Our group stayed at Refugio Averau on the fourth night of our trek on the AV1 in the Dolomites. It…read morewas in a beautiful location - in a high pass between rocky plateaus. But it was also VERY popular on the day we arrived (a friday in August). We noted there was a chair lift ferrying visitors up from the main road below. Hikers and mountain bikers were passing through in multiple directions. We felt lucky to snag an outdoor table - so we could enjoy our post-hike beer and fries - which had become a regular tradition by this point. (The fries were excellent). Despite the crowds, our check-in was speedy. Our group's shared bunk room was "cozy," but had jackpot views. Then we managed to get in line early for the laundry room in their basement. Cuz it was time. Dinner was a low point, at least for me. I had been noticing venison on the menus of previous rifugios and had finally decided to act - I ordered the venison with potatoes. Unfortunately it was AWFUL - It should have been called "a bowl of potatoes with gamey gristle on top". It would be my worst meal in Italy. (A star off for that). And yes - I've had good venison before. Averau was the first rifugio we visited on our trek with non-potable tap water; but thankfully all the sinks were clearly labeled. Plus we had filtering gear with us, so it was not a big issue. (But it did seem an odd contrast to the touristy vibe; they must sell a lot of bottled water). Rifugio Summary: - Setting: In a high pass with expansive view; very popular on a summer day - Rooms/dorms: Nice; Clean. On the smaller side - Food: Terrible dinner (for me); on-par breakfast spread - Free Potable water: No! - Wi-fi: Passable
