Awards Candidates 2019

21/10/2025: Welcoming atmosphere, vast selection, everything excellent from starters to desserts and wines...highly recommended

28/09/2025: Did you ever eat something so good it felt like you were drugged? It feels illegal to eat here. One of the top 5 restaurants in my life. The ribeye is to die for. You might call dining here a spiritual experience, an enlightenment, if you will. We were lucky to have dined here.

02/09/2025: A beautifully situated house surrounded by nature, offering immediate peace and relaxation. A fabulous kitchen with great attention to detail. Ideal for those seeking relaxation and enjoyment.

24/08/2025: The staff is super friendly and very committed to their guests' interests. They are happy to offer tips for excursions and the surrounding area. You feel wonderfully looked after and very comfortable. Allergies and intolerances are immediately taken into account and communicated so that everyone on the staff is aware of them. Our room was beautifully decorated with lots of wood, making it very cozy. It offers everything you need. There is plenty of storage space and a large terrace. The hotel's location near the forest and the entire outdoor spa area are wonderful places to relax and unwind.

17/10/2025: We spent the last evening of our vacation at the Pretzhof. It couldn't have been better! Since the Pretzhof had been recommended to us, we arrived with high expectations. All the tables in the restaurant were full, but the manager offered us a seat at the bar. It didn't feel awkward at all—quite the opposite! We've rarely seen such friendly, dedicated, and competent service staff! The wine list offers a huge selection from local and even distant wineries, so everyone can find something they like. We each ordered three courses from the manager. He gave us great advice on choosing the right dish. All three courses were simply world-class! No frills, just honest cuisine at a completely reasonable price!

13/10/2025: Beautiful restaurant just steps from Vipiteno. Traditional cuisine using local South Tyrolean ingredients, cooked to perfection. I particularly enjoyed the pasta dishes, the open dumpling, and the appetizers. The wine selection is excellent.

22/10/2025: The seasonal menu was exceptional, as was the hospitality! Beautiful location & views are a bonus :)

20/10/2025: Always worth a trip. Don't be afraid of the winding route, though. At the top, you'll be more than rewarded. Great food, a fantastic view, and a friendly welcome are always welcome. Tip: You can only enjoy everything in good weather.

17/10/2025: Very nice location, service a bit slow, poor value for money, and not in line with the local food scene. I wouldn't go back.

16/10/2025: I had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful place, but I can't say the same about what I ate. But the thing that really surprised me was the cutlet, which, besides being incredibly expensive, was flavorless.

01/10/2025: Three days and two nights of pure relaxation. Special thanks to Davide and Claudio, the hotel's top waiters.

06/09/2025: First, the criticisms why we didn't give it 5 stars: Our room was only accessible via a narrow spiral staircase. This should be included in the room description. The room had a sloping roof, which is critical for people over 1.8m tall. The bed was very low, and there was a hard wedge about 10cm wide between the mattresses, which was uncomfortable. The room had a clean, long-haired pile, which we don't think is ideal. What bothered us most was that there was only one towel per day for the sauna and pool. There were no additional towels in the sauna. We find this very unhygienic. A shame for such a great sauna area. The afternoon snack was only available from 4 to 5 and was very limited. If it weren't for the above-mentioned shortcomings, we would have given it 5 stars. Super friendly service staff. The dinner was excellent. We would still come back.

02/10/2025: Quickly stopped at Chalet Gerard for an espresso on our road trip and the view was breathtaking. Great coffee too! Strongly recommend.

30/09/2025: I came for the resturant - actually stopped there for a quick strudel, that turned into a culinary experience. Do-not miss it!!

18/10/2025: The cuisine is the restaurant's strong point. An innovative style that maximizes the high-quality ingredients. Technique, balance, and boldness combine to create dishes that surprise with their combinations of ingredients. All this in a welcoming, quiet setting with excellent service. Highly recommended.

11/10/2025: A cuisine that amazes without being over the top. Recommended for those who love to be surprised and appreciate the pursuit of flavor in every detail. Highly recommended.

06/10/2025: Pleasant and private location. Excellent food and accommodating staff. Very interesting wines.

01/10/2025: Exclusive ambience. Beautiful courtyard, beautiful restaurant interior, superb hostess, excellent wine list. The dishes change; we've been there several times, and there's always something new to try. The waitress is second to none. She was always incredibly friendly, did her job perfectly, and was up for a joke now and again. Unfortunately, the waiter we had this time was a bit off the mark. He simply messed up 3-4 things too many for him to give a 5-star review. We'll definitely be back, and if things go well again, we'll adjust the rating. The restaurant is one of the best on the Wine Route.

04/10/2025: We had the absolute pleasure of staying at the Hotel Gratschwirt in Toblach at the end of the summer season, and we have to say – it was simply WOW! The location is perfect, surrounded by breathtaking nature. The recently renovated room was a true retreat: comfortable, clean, spacious, and equipped with all the amenities you could need. The staff was super friendly, attentive, and genuinely took care of our well-being with great warmth in every respect. The half-board dinner, a 5-course menu, was a highlight every day – delicious, varied, and more than sufficient. Our stay at the Hotel Gratschwirt was thoroughly relaxing and exceeded our expectations. Also worth mentioning is the wellness area with pool and sauna, where we found relaxation after our mountain activities. If the opportunity arises, we will definitely come back. Highly recommended for anyone seeking peace and quiet amidst the beauty of South Tyrol in the Dolomites.

30/09/2025: Excellent hotel, attentive and friendly owners, excellent cuisine; spacious, warm and clean room.

14/10/2025: We discovered this wonderful establishment a few years ago and have been regular guests ever since. The rooms are comfortable, the staff friendly. The restaurant is top-notch, with a wide selection of menus, a buffet, and qualified staff ready to assist guests with any needs.

16/09/2025: Truly the best location in Alta Badia. Beautifully situated with fantastic cuisine. In winter, ski-in/ski-out access.

15/09/2025: Absolutely fantastic place. Delicious cake, very friendly welcome ;)

09/09/2025: Nice cafe, nicer prices and nicer service

30/10/2025: Nice, large parking lot, food okay. (We had a mixed grill)

24/10/2025: A wonderful experience, excellent food. To be repeated.
