Naturhotel Leitlhof

We had a panoramic suite and the view from our room was wonderful. The entire experience was exceptional with a personal touch. During every meal we had the same designated table with our name on it. The food, the service, and the spa were incredibly good. We had one rainy day and we are glad we spent it in the hotel enjoying the wellness area. Would definitely come back here next time we visit the Dolomites.

We had an amazing stay at this hotel! From the moment we arrived, the staff’s professionalism and warm welcome made us feel at home. A special thanks to Lea, who was super nice and made our stay even more enjoyable. The spa area was the perfect place to unwind, and the rooms were impeccably clean and incredibly comfortable. Dining at the restaurant was a standout experience— the sommelier’s expertise was remarkable, and the menu offered a wonderful variety of dishes made with fresh, local ingredients. Every detail, from the service to the atmosphere, was thoughtfully curated. We both highly recommend this hotel for a truly unforgettable experience!

Very nice hotel but only four stars not because it is not a nice hotel but because it aims to compete with the better hotels but it is not yet there. Mentioning just one potential peer, the Granvara in Selva is an exceptional hotel while this hotel has basically all the same things but always a level below due often to unfortunate choices instead of lower quality. For example, our room was enormous, but the space was comprised of a teeny, tiny bathroom (with a toilet and bidet in a separate small closet), a nicely sized sleeping area and then a massive and almost empty sitting area with a couch and lots of empty floor space. This is a massive miss and at least some portion of that enormous empty space should have been incorporated into a nicer bathroom instead of the tiny closet one must squeeze into. This is basically the first thing one notices about the room and surely the architect or designer knew this but somebody made a decision somewhere to follow this path instead - cost perhaps? Another example is the parking, which is painfully short of what is needed. There is a very small underground parking garage that holds perhaps 40 cars (?) and then the back-up is a small sliver of ground behind the building. When we were there, the hotel was not full yet cars were having to park in odd spots just to squeeze in somewhere. Another odd architectural failure for what otherwise seems to have been a recently renovated hotel. Really quite the head-scratcher. And yes there is no air conditioning, which we Americans just are stunned by but is the trend in Europe sadly. Just know before you go! On the other hand, everything is quite clean, the dining room is spacious, the public spaces have a nice upscale IKEA-like design, there was a lovely social one evening with a talented musician, snacks and drinks and the spa/pool facilities are nice. The views are also great. The kitchen was adequate, with a decent breakfast spread, including abundant choices for eggs and other breakfast mains. Dinner, on the other hand, showed greater goals than achievements with acceptable food and an ok salad bar, but definitely not comparable to what might be thought of as peer hotels. We were particularly disappointed with the meat entrees, which were often fatty and fairly tasteless, whereas the fish dishes were more highly regarded. With so much going for it, these shortcomings were a disappointment. Some items (such as the parking situation) will be harder to fix than others, but this is a lovely hotel that is missing the mark in a number of areas to make it an excellent hotel.

The hotel is in a perfect location for visiting some of the best parts of the Dolomites. We had a hire car and there was plenty of parking. But the public transport from San Candido was excellent and would have easily taken you to all the popular places. The hotel itself was beautiful, with excellent facilities. A great breakfast was included as well as afternoon snacks. The pool was a real bonus to come back to at the end of a tough hike. The staff were always friendly and polite. Lots of included activities too, including fitness classes, group hikes and cycling. Drink prices at the bar were also very reasonable. Our main issue and why this is not a 5 star review was that the rooms were really hot. And there was no fan or air conditioning. This meant we all slept badly the 2 nights we stayed. We asked for a fan from reception but none were available.

Wonderful hotel! A real treat to come back to at the end of each days skiing. Good shuttle bus service to and from the slopes on demand. Rooms are lovely - very comfortable, large and well kitted out with lots of thoughtful touches and fantastic views over the town and to the slopes. Dinner was incredible - thank god we were skiing otherwise we would certainly have gained weight. 5 courses on offer each night with an amazing wine list too. Great service and really got to know the lovely team around the hotel. Spa facilities were lovely - the outdoor sauna is a dream!

Absolutely stunning views from our Alpin room and throughout the pool and spa spaces. Loved the new spa spaces - multiple saunas and whirlpools with breathtaking views. Calm and relaxing environment maintained at all times. Food was phenomenal. Location is best of both worlds - Only a few minutes walking, biking, or driving to the very cute town of San Candido, but somehow you also feel very much in nature and “away from it all.” My only disappointment was the restaurant management. At restaurant our first night (after a long drive and rushed clothing changing after checkin), we fumbled to recall our newly checked in room number but gave our name… and it would appear the manager that night doubted we were actual guests. It was a very uncomfortable and unwelcoming interaction that tainted the first 24 hours for me. I felt my presence at the hotel (as a 3 day half board paying guest) was questioned just minutes after checking in. The other restaurant disappointment is that it’s virtually impossible to request a seat on the lovely patio with view. The inside space gets quite stuffy and hot. We were repeatedly told the patio was full, but you could see empty tables…I suppose they reserve one table per family for the entire night seating (not the most efficient use of those sought after outdoor tables with view). We even followed their policy of requesting outdoor table at breakfast same day… and still we’re never able to achieve a single meal on the patio. I was too nervous to even ask for patio table at breakfast bc it seemed so rule oriented in the restaurant… like guests were expected to fall into line without question. There is no coffee maker in the room and no room service before 8am. I asked for coffeemaker in my room Request but this was not provided and after the issues above, I became shy about repeatedly asking for things. The restaurant opens at 7:30am, but you can’t sit on the patio there… so there’s virtually no way to enjoy your lovely room patio with a cup of coffee. Most attractions in this area require early morning start (before 7:30am), so I find the lack of AM coffee access a huge oversight. We ordered coffee at the bar at night and just drank it cold in the Am on our patio. (We even tried to be creative and went into town searching for cold brew to keep in the fridge but found limited options. Perhaps bring your own instant? But again, no hot water kettle in room.) The other odd thing is that the gym (with beautiful view) closes at 7:30pm and doesn’t open until 8am. This also goes for the pool and beautiful spa. I noticed this was common for hotels in this region to have very limited hours for these amenities, so we adjusted, but I found the gym limitation to be quite odd. I can’t imagine it requires monitoring or costs more to the hotel to leave open to guests with key access? Overall, a gorgeous stay. The scenery and atmosphere they have created is one of the best we have ever experienced. The strictness in the res
