Mein Matillhof

My wife and I stayed for a second time (first in Nov 2019) and highly recommend them! Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful and will go out of their way to ensure a perfect stay. We preferred to hike and use the wellness areas. The guided tours are excellent and the guide (Emanuella) is a fountain of knowledge and a delightful person. The wellness areas are very clean and well maintained and a perfect retreat after a hiking tour. We stayed on one of the smaller rooms (Morgenrotzimmer) but it was quite roomy and still offered a nice view of the valley and then Sonnenberg / St. Martin. Due to the layout, all rooms provide excellent views. The food service is among the best - well stocked continental breakfast buffet with the option to order additional items freshly prepared (e.g. eggs, bacon etc...). But the highlight is the evening dinner. Well thought out 5 course menus including a Vegi menu as well as ala Carte options in case any one or all of the items is not what you prefer. The Staff here are highly professional and knowledgeable. Of course, they offer an abundance of wines from South Tirol as well as other areas. Here, the staff prove to be excellent in their recommendations - when in doubt, their insight never fails to please. Speaking of wine - one of the many highlights is a weekly Wine Tasting hosted by Hr. Dietl. This is a MUST for any wine lover. We attended both years and enjoyed it immensely. To be honest, I had never attended a wine tasting before, other than those sometimes offered at a winery mainly trying to sell their wares. I was afraid it would be a stuffy affair. I was pleasantly surprised. Hr. Dietl is quite entertaining, combining a vast knowledge of wines in general with wit and stories which makes the whole affair unforgettable! Do not miss this! All together, if you a re planning a trip to Vinschgau, South Tirol you will never regret choosing the Hotel Matillhof! A note about Covid. Obviously, due to the restrictions, this year was a bit different than the last. But in the Hotel the rules were well defined and there was an abundance of hygiene stations and the mask rules were not overly intrusive. Distancing was not difficult and the wellness areas offered more than enough space to relax. We thank the Dietl Family and the entire staff for an unforgettable stay - we will be back in 2021!
