We’re a couple who love to walk long trails in the mountains. We normally walk hut-to-hut but this year we decided to treat ourselves to a bit more luxury. I think we got the jackpot! You come to Pineta Pastry for the food! Every morning the breakfast was the best I’ve ever experienced in Italy. So many varieties of croissant, pastry, torte, salami, cheese. I have a dairy intolerance and there was even vegan croissants on offer! This is going above and beyond to cater for those of us who usually get forgotten about. We had booked half board and I’m very thankful we did! Excellent value for money. Four courses every evening, with something new every evening over seven nights. The quality of food was 5*! And again the chef made variations that were DF for me. That was very appreciated. The hotel staff were welcoming friendly and very helpful. They take pride in their hotel. It feels like it is more than just a job. You feel like you’re being welcomed into their family. Location: it was perfect for us as we wanted to walk sections of the AV 2 but also have some variety. The wellness centre was very welcoming after a long day walking. Hot and cold tubs, sauna etc. For hikers with transport, I would recommend walking Malga Ciapela to Penia via Passo Ombretta (check buses back to Malga Ciapela!), a day’s walking from the top of Sasso Pordoi is also a must. You can leave your car at Passo pordoi and get the cable car up, walking back via the Sacario Germanico. Fascinating history! We had a day of thunder and lightening so we stayed low and walked to Alleghe and back. Beautiful little town on the edge of a lake. Cable car in the shadow of Mt Civetta is stunning. The little village of Suttoguada just up the valley a couple of miles, is worth a visit. It’s beautiful. A very good pizzeria there! Unfortunately all the trails on the south side of the valley from Pineta Pastry have been closed since being damaged by a storm a few years ago. There’s a lot of reconstruction work going on atm. It meant the walking from the door of the hotel was limited. Not sure for how long. As a couple we normally never return to an a hotel we’ve already been to, but like to try new places. However I would definitely return to Pineta Pastry. Thanks to all the staff for a wonderful holiday.
