Paradiso Pure In Castelrotto

We stayed at the Paradiso in September 2024. The location is truly unique – nestled in the heart of the Seiser Alm. The area offers excellent hiking tours, nestled in the beautiful Dolomites. The team is simply fantastic: warm and accommodating. We felt very comfortable and will definitely return. The real highlight, however, besides the great location and the fantastic team, is the cuisine. As a non-vegan, I was surprised every evening by the fascinating creations – simply wonderful!

The hotel is perfect for skiing as it is practically located on one of the main slopes. The service is very professional, precise and punctual. The food was very good, even though I am not vegan I liked everything very much. The portions could be a little larger and perhaps the only flaw is the variety. The menu is fixed and you cannot choose other courses if there are any ingredients you don't like. Beautiful panorama, excellent view from the rooms.

This place was phenomenal. The food is amazing, the staff are amazing, great spa, great ski location, stunning views of the Dolomites. I can't wait to go back to it.

A top-notch vegan restaurant. That's what was missing at the mountain pasture. Super attentive staff and top-notch cuisine. Unfortunately, I can't review the rooms, as we only used the restaurant.

I'm only reviewing the food here because we had lunch there because of the good location. The staff was very polite and friendly. The location and the view are really great. The food, however, was quite manageable for the price. We had Cabonara Gnocchi, which were really tiny for the price. The legal food was very well prepared and also very tasty. The only drawback is the price for small portions.

Absolutely fantastic experience at Paradiso. Fully vegan all the way through, love it!

What an absolutely lovely hotel and experience - start to finish. We are vegan, and we were so lucky to have found Paradiso. From the excellent and helpful management to the staff (Tommy became a friend!), we were truly enthralled by our experience. It is a small hotel, and it feels like a intimate vacation, right on the mountain. The pool area is warm and heavenly, Marnie's yoga classes are excellent, and the food - it is absolutely a dream for vegans. The buffet breakfast is dreamy, and includes ample amounts of both sweet (croissants!) and savory options, excellent coffee, fresh juices, and fresh breads. There is a la carte lunch available, right on the slopes - we loved the brick pizza offerings! And dinner - 5 courses of the most sophisticated and delicious vegan dishes. If you are vegan - or not - you will love your stay at Paradiso.

Stunning and evocative place, excellent cuisine and very friendly staff. Excellent cuisine but amazing desserts!!!! Dreamlike ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ excellent choice by Pastry Chef Veronica Calamita

We just stayed. Cozy environment. Caring and kind staff. High level vegan cuisine. To experiment 🌟✨💫

Where to start...firstly the beautiful, recently retrofitted hotel sits at 2000 m altitude next to a lovely piste in the middle of the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage Site. The skiing is gorgeous: wide, well kept pistes under impossible blue skies are a reason enough to be here. The hotel is run by a family that also owns two other vegan hotels in Italy and is as serious about hospitality as they are about sustainability and, of course, food. The team is lovely, friendly and helpful, rooms are comfortable without being ostentatious and the hotel is filled with contemporary art including by a number of artists who have taken residence here since it reopened. And then the food. Impossiblytalented chef Aggeliki Charami who also runs the kitchen at the Koukoumi hotel im Mykonos in the summer, has been in charge since last year as Paradiso transitioned to fully vegan - no mean feat in South Tyroll (or mountains in general!). Aggeliki and her team produce food of impossibly high standards, inspired by her native Greece, Italy and everywhere in between. Half board includes buffet breakfast (pumpkin porridge was a revelation), filo pastries stuffed with everything from herbs to peppers, excellent tofu scramble, fantastic selection of pastries (cream filled croissant anyone?) and a desert table heaving under crumbles, creamy tarts and chocolate delights. Alo included is the dinner: a five course symphony of high end cooking mastery that changes daily with a 9 day rotation: last night there was a delicious cheesy foccacia to start - probably the best I ever had, followed by a version of the Ceasar said after which there were chickpeas in celery broth and the most sublime seitan lasagna i have ever tasted. Finished of by millefoglie with pistachio ganache and yuzy cream. It is insane. There is also a la carte lunch available that has pizzas, vegan fried egg, bao buns and my personal favourite, gnudi pasta a la carbonara - so good I had it twice in a week. Which is 2 out of 3 lunches I actually managed to squeeze into my seriously expanded waistline. I absolutely enjoyed everything and so did the non vegan guests who were certainly the majority last night. The very much non vegan people aplauded the chef as one would a rock star. And this evening I am looking forward to my Omnia fine dining (as if everything else wasn't) 9 course experience that I will write about separately. I could not be happier - thank you Paradiso and Chef
