Hotel Angelo Engel is perfection! The front desk staff, including Katherine and Margarite, along with owners Nils and Hideki, made everything from checkin to daily planning a pleasure. Our room was very clean, quiet, spacious and charming, with robes and slippers provided and a lovely balcony overlooking the lawn area. Breakfast and dinner included are included in the rate, and the dining options are varied and excellent. The staff did everything to make our stay special. One example: we didn't finish a bottle of wine on our second night and left it on the table. The next evening, our waiter brought it out, nicely chilled, and served us the remainder. There is a lovely indoor-outdoor heated pool, a beautiful sauna, and spa treatments by appointment. There is a very nice bar off the lobby with a friendly and talented bartender, Nicola, who made the best Americano cocktail of the trip. We attended a free wine tasting in their cellar, where we learned about notable local wines. They provide several free guided hikes during the week, and Georg, the guide, is great -- knowledgeable about the terrain, the area and where to get the best post-hike lunch on the mountain. The hotel is just a short walk to town and the gondola stations, and yet it feels like it's off in the countryside--so peaceful!
