hotel in the dolomites
We are going to be staying 3 nights in the Dolomites next May. I am looking for a B&B in a small town. We are into hiking and biking. Don't need the night life. Price around 150 Euros a night
Thanks
Thanks

Two years ago we stayed at the Hotel Cavallino D'Oro in Castelrotto in the Alpe di Siusi. The small town is lovely, wonderful hiking nearby. But it is in the Dolomite hills so I don't know about biking, some of the roads were very narrow. This small hotel is very popular so this is not too early to book. They have a website.

anitas: Another vote for Cavallino D'Oro. Beautiful small hotel on the square, very well appointed.
The hiking is excellent; seven very well marked trails across the main road and into the hills. There is a great hike to a very secluded and therefore unchanged medieval castle, Frostburg, from the small village (very small), Tagusens, about two and a half miles from Castlerotto on a narrow two lane road. The 15th Century Castle after passing through a meadow, is straight down for about 45 minutes. The trip back is straight up for about an hour and a half. Really worth it though. You won't see an undisturbed castle like this in many places. We loved this area.
Two good restaurants are Lift steuble (close) by the ski lift; charming, unpretentious and good wholesome food. They end your dinner with a complimentary glass of grappa. Wow! The other was Zum Turm; beautiful, elegent, great food and excellent service. Have a great trip.

Chiming in a bit late... but yet another vote for Cavallino D'Oro. Found it in Karen Brown's guide, which is a great source for such places. (Several of her recommendations are in the Dolomites.)
Hiking in the Alpe di Siusi is spendid! I hope the wildflowers will be blooming in May, because the vast high meadows will be a fantastic sight. You can hop on a ski-lift to save yourself from the up-hill part of the hike if you like.

We stayed in Chiusa - "Klausen" in German. It's a small, very scenic town, much smaller than Bolzano tucked into the steep and rocky Isack River valley, a bit higher in altitude than Bolzano and a bit further north on the main train line over the Alps. It's a place with a distinctly Tyrolean feel to it. There were several dining options and all the other basic tourist necessities. From there, we daytripped by bus up to Castelrotto and to the Alpe di Siusi - "Seiser Alm" in German (a spectacular ride) and by train into Bolzano. We stayed at the family-run "Haus Obwexer", a simple B&B operation with just a few rooms about 200 yards from the railway station. Nothing fancy, but perfect for us, and the outgoing Mrs. Obwexer was charming. Only 33 Euros/night double; check with Klausen's tourist office if interested.
