If you've experienced this holiday first hand, why not write a review?
We are keen for as many customers as possible to review their holiday. To make it easier to do so, we include a specific review section on our post-holiday questionnaire, and this is what we publish here, unedited. Read our full review policy >
A little gem of a hotel and beautiful countryside to walk in. We extended the holiday to 9 nights which was perfect as we were able to explore some of the other walking routes in the area. The ability to extend the routes suggested was also very welcome. Thoroughly recommend the penthouse suite worth every penny extra, the rooftop balcony and sauna were fabulous.
The Goldene Rose is a lovely place to stay and we felt at home very quickly. Will probably return soon. Lots of walking options too.
Thello from Paris to Verona was essentially fine and in principle we would recommend this service (we had a 3 person cabin with washbasin) to others who feel OK about sleeping on a train. Probably sensible to bring your own food though as the restaurant meals were not great and expensive for what they were. No problem with the facilities otherwise, plenty of toilet roll, small towels provided etc. The Train Bleu restaurant cafe in the Gare de Lyon is a great place for a drink before you catch your train. Not cheap but wonderful setting.
INNTRAVEL NOTE: We arranged rail travel from London for these customers, including a sleeper train from Paris to Verona.
This was our first "centered" walk with Inntravel and made a fun change from the exciting, yet higher pressured, itinerant itineraries we'd previously undertaken. Zur Goldenen Rose is a captivating, luxurious property in a restful, verdant setting. Within its compact footprint, it manages to accommodate spacious and beautifully appointed guest rooms, two dining rooms (the charming stube being our favourite), two separate outdoor dining areas, a charming, well-kept garden with many places for sitting and reclining on fine days, and a beautiful new spa and garden area towards the "Residence" apartments. This spa is available free for guests.
The inn is well placed for hiking (and presumably for skiing), with several trails leading directly out of the small village. A reliable post bus service picks up just around the corner and whisks guests to various other points of departure for hiking in the gorgeous Senales valley. Inntravel has once again spotted and accurately described several of the best possible walks.
Innkeepers Paul and Steffi Grüner are fully as delightful as other reviewers have noted. Their genuine, warm presence and hands-on interest in our experience were highlights of the vacation. Although few of the other staff quite rises to this level, the overall sense of ease and elegance in the service makes for an exceptional experience. We felt well taken care of.
Food and drink at Goldenen Rose was excellent and plentiful, including an abundant and elaborate breakfast served to your table, a nice change from the more traditional breakfast buffet. Of note is the variety of available dishes and ingredients and that there are many choices workable for those with dietary restrictions.
Certosa (or Karthaus) is a charming mountain village, yet maintains a sense of chic glamour owing to its regularly scheduled rather sophisticated art installations and a careful curation and tending of its unique assets. (We were lucky to be there during one of their installation opening fetes!) A restful place to land with a surprising amount going on.
Recommendations: consider choice of room seriously, since some of the "nicer" rooms in fact are easily looked into from the garden and thus must not seem too private. We were extremely happy with ours on a higher floor with a balcony.
If you are fit and can appreciate a rougher-hewn experience, the opportunity to spend a night at the Bella Vista mountain hut is highly recommendable. We chose to hike up from the valley floor (just under 900 meters, rather steep in sections) and to return the same way the next day. This was a spectacular walk and the peace and wildness of the hut's setting was breathtaking. Service at Bella Vista was exceptionally warm and helpful and the food quite good, especially considering limitations imposed by the setting.
A highly recommended holiday for both excellent walking opportunities and a taste of luxurious relaxation.

Excellent hotel, perfectly positoned for this holiday and in a stunning valley. We had expected the food to be good based on previous reviews, but it far exceeded that and was a real highlight, as was the wine list! The provided routes were excellent on the whole, a couple of comments; we reversed Route 1 as someone else had previously suggested which worked very well. We actually did the route from Vorderkasser twice as it was so good, and walked further up the valley the second time than the notes suggested and were rewarded with a really close sighting of a lovely Marmot. Our only slight negative comment on a route was the sustained and steep downhill from the Berglalm hut (Path No. 13), the route might be better done the other way round, or to use the same route both up and down from the Berglalm hut (which was wonderful by the way!). The buses worked perfectly wherever we used them. The cable car wasn't yet running (due to late season snow) so we couldn't do the high route, but will save that for another time. We had a wonderful time and plan to return next year.
Zur Goldene Rose [Traditions of South Tyrol holiday] was, as ever, faultless. Piedmont's Magical Valley is a wonderful area and the diversity of flora is the best we have seen on any Inntravel holiday - simply stunning. However the walking is really tough and quite unrelenting. Revisiting the walking notes to ensure greater accuracy would be worthwhile and perhaps including some less demanding options which we did find. Accommodation all very different but all excellent in their own way.
Both holidays [Hidden Italy & Slovenia with Lakes & Julian Alps upgrade option, and Traditions of South Tyrol] were wonderful. Mostly, the accommodation was of a high standard. This is important to us when we travel. We asked for upgrades to superior rooms and this was accommodated where possible. The walk options allowed for different levels of fitness and energy - we really enjoyed the beauty of the countryside in all places. The walks you suggested offered a lot of variety also. I would recommend Slovenia as a very easy country to travel in. We had positive experiences with everyone we came into contact with. Slovenia is one of the most beautiful places I’ve been to. Certosa was remarkable; such an interesting history and culture. It seems like a lot of thought went in to organising the walks with the transport involved to get us to as many different trails as possible. Food on both trips was consistently of a very high standard. We loved the little cafes on the walks. They were pretty special. I should mention that Slovenia was very warm for walking in July. The milder weather in the Tyrols was much more comfortable for me (just a personal preference - my partner didn’t mind the heat at all). I would come back and do both trips again. Just one point on the lunches - very hard to accommodate everyone’s taste and appetites, so my preference would be to organise my own lunch where feasible.
