Garni Criss

Love, love, love! We are on a 4 month road trip across Europe, and we felt so comfortable and welcome here. I searched for hours trying to find the perfect place in this area, and we were not disappointed. Our room was cozy, spacious, and clean. We got lucky with a balcony room - I would highly recommend booking one ahead of time as the views are incredible. The hosts are so kind. The breakfast is great - tons of options. And you can pretty much walk out the front door and run right in to some incredible hiking trails. (Or take one of the many cable cars in the area.) There is free parking, and a sauna (sadly we didn't have time to use). They do not provide kettles in the room for coffee/tea. And just a small side note - breakfast starts at 730, so if you want to get out on to the trails earlier, plan accordingly.

The Garni Criss hotel is located in the Alta Badia village of Colfosco on the Dolomites Sellaronda. When looking for an appropiate place for my biking group, I was surprised by the high rating of this hotel. Almost half a year before the trip I phoned and on the other side of the line I was welcome by Annelies soft and calm voice. This family hotel is run by Annelies and Albert, and when we left after seven nights we felt part of the family. Annelies laugh fills the hotel space with good energy and this is all the secret. The breakfast is perfect and rich. After you ordered, Albert brings the scrambled eggs to your table and after 2 days, Annelies knows how you like your coffee and she prepares it for each guest. Only 2 nights we had dinner at the Garni Criss, and maybe these were the 2 best dinners of the week. Albert is a chef and the modest menu consists of typical ladin kitchen together with italian one. The vegetable soup reminded my mum soup. The handmade nioqui was the best nioqui in town. The fish plate and the mixed grill plate were huge and tasteful. The modest spa includes a sauna, a steam bath and a whirlpool. The spa mint flavour is smelled at the reception and helped my bikers relax after the long ride days. After one week at this family hotel, I understood the high rating: it is not because the facilities or the food (that were excellent) but because Annelies big heart. Highly recommended

Very nice hotel with big rooms. We had two double rooms that were interconnected. Close to the slopes, you need to walk 50 meters before putting the skiis on. Great breakfast and very nice staff. It is possible to order dinner in the hotel restaurant.

Albergo pulitissimo e squisita disponibilità di Annalisa e Albert. Colazione ricca, varia e molto buona! Durante il nostro soggiorno abbiamo cenato in alcuni ristoranti e presso il Garni Criss. Qui le cene sono state le migliori di tutto il nostro soggiorno. La passione di Annalisa ed Albert lascia il segno. Consiglio a tutti di soggiornare qui. Alla prossima, Elisabetta, Franco e Alaska (il nostro Husky accolto calorosamente)

Fantastisk ophold! Det var et fantastisk ophold på Garni Criss! Værterne var utrolig imødekommende og hjælpsomme. Man følte sig meget velkommen fra dag ét. Stemningen var glad og i top. Maden var lavet fra bunden af lækre råvarer.
