Diamant Spa Resort in Santa Cristina Val Gardena

Its the second time we're returning to this hotel during winter time. The staff , the owner and her family are very kind , helpful and always working side by side with the employees. The hotel is very cozy, like a big moutain lodge, the spa offers a lot of options and the food is good and lots of it.
The rooms can be "oldschool alpine style" or modern, but either way they are very comfortable.
They offer quick shuttle to the main ski area or quick buses with the station in front of the hotel. I highly recommend this place for a full ski holiday (good skiing, good sleep, great food, relaxing spa).

We just left the best hotel in the Dolomites. The service is fantastic - the owners and the staff are all very kind. Dinner is high quality and always with attention to the details. The spa is also great, and the location is beautiful and convenient. Thank You!

I had such a wonderful stay here! The staff were truly amazing! Always friendly and helpful. I booked half board and honestly, the food was too good… despite hiking and biking in the mountains every day, I’m pretty sure I left a little rounder than I arrived 🙂Totally worth it though!
Great people, delicious meals, and the perfect base for mountain adventures – highly recommend! And I will be back in September!

The perfect hotel equipped with everything you would ever need for a fantastic few days away - we have been staying there for a number of years now as a group of 5 guys on our annual ski trip and wouldn’t ever go anywhere else! :)

Good food, lots of fun, great friendly staff and other guests - we rarely make it out of the hotel after a days skiing which is testament to everything it has to offer - and the setting is unbelievable! We couldn’t recommend it enough. . .

The Mussner family make Hotel Diamant great! All three generations are hard at work, with the youngest Kylie (yes - she must be the only South Tyrolian Kylie!) adding great humour to our stay by translating some of the Italian people-watching that makes a trip more fun!

The food is great and buffet plentiful at every meal (we particularly noticed the desserts for their range!) - we were placed in the modern annexe dining room which is stylish but stark (mellower lightbulbs might help?). If you want Alpine atmosphere, request the older dining room - more cosy!

The Wellness Centre is fab. Especially to give the kids an activity after the ski slopes (and for the oldies to unwind). It took me a bit to count all six pools as I got to five easily. Kids, lengths, outdoor, jacuzzi, hot indoor bubbles… then I clicked that they count the pebble walk as sixth. It simulates walking on a river bed in warm and cold sprinkling flow - actually ideal to get the circulation going in my skiboot-bound toes!

Apart from the mirror on the ceiling of my four-poster bed in the Honeymoon suite, there were other highlights!

The in-house ski guide Michele made our ski trip. He took us out twice and we should’ve gone more. He has a local knowledge of the mountains. He’s a qualified instructor so gave us a few tips. He knew the best mountain lunch spots. He took us around SellaRonda with smiles and laughs the whole way - I found it very tricky to follow the signs and paths on my own but he added extra loops on that big day so we skied nearly 40km of slopes!

Diamant is out of the villages but the shuttle took us to/fro the slopes. The local ski bus was also a very easy connector and appears on Googlemaps with the bus approaching times (my kids would eye-roll that I’m even explaining this but I hope this reassures you if you pick here)

I asked Kylie who the competition is in the valley. There are many and various but Diamant doesn’t want to go 5* because it might make the whole place more intense. For people with helicopters and stuff. However, she says with a smile, that the 5* places still have to use Diamant - because they have a helipad!

Ask Michele about the heli trip. It sounds amazing! They pick you up from the hotel and your your around the peaks before dropping you 30km from the hotel to ski back. You actually go off the map of the biggest ski area somewhere near Cortina and work your way home. At one point, the lift is a drag where the group gets pulled by horses to connect into the Dolomiti Superski. I’m dreaming of my return just so I can book that trip!

Very nice hotel !! Located in a beautiful place !! Comfortable beautiful rooms !! Very clean !! There is a pool, Jacuzzi and different types of baths !!! Delicious homemade food !! I recommend!!

We stayed in Appartments Diamant - nice and clean accomodation, skibus 200m close, we could use Hotel spa for free, it was perfect!
