Badia Hill

Experiencing the professionalism of all the hotel and restaurant personnel on its own, is already a reason enough to rate it at the top of rankings. Add to this the incredible culinary stroll through masterclass tastes and techniques. The chef's cuisine is only days away from star rating at Michelin's. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable, meticulously cleaned and fashionably designed. The Spa is an amazing cocoon of healthy wellness with an impressive and calming view. Every little detail has its importance for the crew and this made us feel loved. After being a guest here, we simply can not go elsewhere from now on.

Yesterday, me and my wife, we visited the restaurant Bistro Badia Hill in Badia Hill Hotel. We were not staying at the hotel. We wanted to have a quick dinner and take one meal with us for our sick daughter. The ambience of the restaurant is very pleasant, decent and cosy at the same time, wine lovers will be pleased to see the glass fridges with selected bottles of wine. We were one of the first guests to arrive and were taken in by the friendly staff, a young woman named Anastazia who spoke fluent Russian, Italian and English with the guests. She seated us and offered us pastries with delicious oil from Sicily. She measured the oil into a small bowl and took the carafe away, leaving the salt and pepper on the table. If the oil didn't go well with the pastries, you had to ask for it again. My wife has a gluten allergy, which we mentioned when we made the reservation, and she appreciated that they had great gluten free baked goods. The menu is just long enough, with a choice of seven starters, five first courses, four mains plus six specials designed for two or requiring a longer preparation time. We both chose an appetizer and a main course and later the same to go. The starters were excellent - beef tartare and an unusual interpretation of vitello tonnato. Unfortunately, the young waiter mixed up the side dishes and brought my wife my fried potato squares. The girl made us sure they were gluten free. At the last moment, it turned out that not only did they contain gluten, but they were intended for my dish, not hers. With such a small menu and in an establishment of this level, the staff might know what side goes with what. We probably wouldn't have bothered with such a long review if the evening had gone on without a hitch. The other courses - fish (sea bass) and white truffle gnocchi - were tasty. For drinks, we ordered still water and sparkling wine by the glass. The restaurant started to fill up and there were only two waiters on the set, the lovely Anastasia was running out of smiles, she was literally running around the set. We had to wait quite a while for the bill. We paid 304 Euro plus tip. We left feeling moderately satisfied. However, an unpleasant surprise awaited us upon our return home when we presented our daughter with the food we had brought - the gnocchi for 35 Euro was completely without any truffle, only with butter. Since we live about 20 min drive from Bistro, we didn't have the energy to go back for this.We took a picture and share it. We hope it was an isolated mistake and not malicious intent. However, the restaurant, which has Bistro in its name, would have benefited from more staff on set and a more relaxed, less rushed atmosphere, even when the space gets crowded. That's kind of what belongs in a bistro anyway. I'd rather not discuss the prices. They have nothing to do with the bistro anymore.

A magnificent hotel. My husband and I have been here for the third time, we dream of returning again and are already making plans. According to tradition, we celebrate my birthday and celebrate the New Year at the hotel. It's always beautiful, delicious, romantic and unforgettable. I have never seen such a reverent attitude towards the maintenance of the hotel and the guests. Every year the hotel and the territory become only better and more comfortable. Various pleasant changes are being added. This year, there is another beautiful bathhouse — a barrel. The restaurant's menu has also expanded, and the cuisine is always impeccable and refined. The wine menu at the restaurant is the best I've ever seen. I am delighted that the owner of the hotel, Michaela, is personally involved in the process and controls it. It is in place from early morning until late evening. Michaela is a professional sommelier, and she always gives excellent recommendations on the choice of wine for dishes. The waiters, Anastasia, the bartender at the restaurant and other hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Thank you and see you soon!

Warm and professional service with spotless, stylish rooms, delicious food, amazing views and relaxing rooftop spa. We were greeted at check-in with a welcome drink and personalized orientation to the Alta Badia region. We stayed in a sauna suite which was spacious and comfortable with thoughtful amenities and a private terrace. The included breakfast had an extensive selection of fresh fruits, meats, cheese, juices and baked goods along with a selection of hot, savory dishes. The service at the restaurant both in the mornings and the evenings was top-notch! We enjoyed chatting with the waitstaff every day. The food was delicious and excellent quality. It was truly relaxing to enjoy dinner in the hotel after long days of hiking in the area. Michaela recommended varied hikes during our stay, including wonderful rifugios for lunch. She went above and beyond, arranging a packed lunch one day as well as providing an early breakfast delivered to our room on our last morning as we had to depart before usual service hours. Their shuttle van is both convenient and very dependable. The rooftop spa is thoughtfully designed and was quiet and peaceful during our stay. We enjoyed a dip in the heated pool every afternoon along with the complimentary snacks and water. There was always a staff member available for questions and service during our stay. We did not want to leave! We highly recommend Hotel Badia Hill if you plan to visit the Alta Badia region.

My wife and I spent 6 days at Badia Hill and we were thrilled with the overall experience. The service level is impressive ( kudos to Michaela the owner, andher staff such as Thomas and Anastasia) throughout. We had high hopes and were not disappointed. Everything from the building/facilities, rooms, finishings, food services and wine options put together created a great experience in the Dolomites. We warmly recommend to all ! Alain and Pascale

We loved this hotel. We stayed here during the first leg of our journey in Italy and felt it was incredibly relaxing. The rooms are spectacular (we stayed in the sauna suite). The rooftop pool is delightful - incredible view and if you ask the front desk they will heat it for you. The food was also delicious - we dined in the restaurant multiple times and would highly recommend (the wine list is also great). One thing that stood out for us though was the staff service. They were more than willing to help with anything we asked (planning hikes, planning activities, accommodating for gluten free in the restaurant, etc.). Overall superior hotel and staff and we will definitely be coming back!
