Hi
Planning on going to Selva or Arraba for my Honeymoon in February 2011 - can anyone recommend a hotel as never been there before.
Thanks

Hi Claire - welcome to SH. The Dolomites are spectacularly beautiful. We stayed at the Granvilara hotel in Selva just before Christmas. The food was wonderful and the owners and staff were brilliant hosts. It is situated outside the village but it is possible to ski in/out (almost) by a 100 yd walk then joining the Saslong run. It is a black run but not difficult. The owners also run a minibus to and from the village, which is about a 15min walk. There are some lovely villages nearby that you might consider - Corvara and Colfosco. They will situate you right on the main Sella Ronda, as well as Selva.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

What I meant to say is that Corvara and Colfosco look more romantic!

Have got to say that Colletts who have large chalets in Arabba rnd Covara have been great for us over the past few years - lovely staff, good food and nice accommodation, ski dolomiti is fantastic and the selle ronda is a 'must-do' on most skiers resume. Might be that if honeymoon you might want something a little 'special' - although the dolomites are what make this area special. BTW welcome to snowheads.

Flora in Selva. Smallish, Family run, beautifully appointed, great food. As to speak to Petra. We've stayed there for the last two Xmas

How about Hotel Mesdi in Arabba? Great access to super skiing, and some really nice wellness facilities. V nice rooms for honeymooners. Food is top-notch, although weighing in at 5 courses could prove a challenge!

I'd suggeste Hotel Tyrol in Selva. Couldn't recommend it highly enough. As one of our group said, "The ski holiday to compare all future ski holidays to". Check the Tyrol out on Trip Advisor. It's great. Wellness facilities superb and food wonderful.

Thanks for all your responses - I have been advsied to look at Tyrol by someone else as well, could you let me know who you arranged your trip through as I cannot find many operators offering the hotel?
Thanks

We went through Inghams from Dublin. The flight was to Innsbruck which was a transfer of about 90 minutes or so. It's not a cheap hotel, but we thought it was really outstanding. We had a recommendation from friends who have been there skiing for the last 5 years on the trot and are now going back in the summer for walking.
The location is great too, just around the corner from the button lifts which connect to everything else. We are definitely going back next year.

Have you checked out the Posta Zirm in Corvara, http://www.postazirm.com . It looks like the kind of place for a honeymoon and has solid reviews. We had zeroed in on that one a few years back but still haven't skied the Dolomites. So many mountains, so little time!

You know it makes sense.

claire84, My experience from the area is that they dont open the books so far in advance, if you want that particular place contact them in September!
