“Excellent!”

I booked this hotel for new years eve only one week before - my original booking in Merano had been cancelled by the hotel at the last minute so after much searching the Cavallino had a cancellation and were able to fit us in. Unfortunately when we arrived at 7pm on the 29th December it transpired that i had not read the booking correctly and i had booked only 2 nights instead of the 3 nights as intended. So they had no room for us that night! After an initial internal panic on my part the problem was quickly solved by the very competent Stephan who made a short phone call and procured a room for us within 2 minutes walking distance, dinner was served for us in the Cavallino within the hour and our room was ready by 10.30 the next morning! What could have been a disaster was superbly handled by Stephan and we went on to have a fabulous New Year in Castelrotto. The food at the hotel was fantastic, the waiting staff very pleasant and the wine list excellent and at a reasonable price. The head waiter was very knowledgeable about the local wines. The New Years Eve celebrations were memorable. Champagne and canapes from 7.30pm followed by a 7 course meal and then champagne served in the bar from 11pm ready for midnight. The fireworks were the best i have ever seen and we enjoyed them from the balcony of our room. All in all an excellent stay with excellent staff. One small criticism is that the food in the restaurant did feel a little rushed - maybe 10-15mins between each course would be nice but this did not in any way spoil our time. Thank you again to Stephan for finding us a room at the Inn!

Room Tip: If you want to avoid the sound of the bells choose a room at the back - personally i love traveling...

“Central location in lovely small town”

We booked this hotel the night before arrival for two nights over a busy weekend. Due to the lateness of the booking we were allocated the last room available (room 23 I think it was), which is probably the worst double room in the hotel due to it being a rather small room and the headroom is compromised by the sloping roof, which I frequently banged my head on. In my opinion this room should only have been a single, or sold much cheaper than the others, most of which are much larger.

So why have I given the hotel an overall Very Good rating? Well, we were originally only booked in for two nights, but before checking out on Monday morning I said I would book another two nights if they had a better room. As it was Monday, with a lot of people checking out, many rooms became available and we were shown several rooms of which we had a free choice. We chose a room to our liking and stayed a further two nights. Note though that the rooms are of differing shapes and sizes and all priced the same (unless it's a Junior Suite), so if busy it is pot luck with what you get.

Overall the rooms are very clean and comfortable, some have showers only, some with separate baths and showers, and others with a shower over the bath.
If you like a lie in be sure to take ear plugs. The hotel is located next to the church clock tower, which starts it's chimes early in the morning (I think it was 7 o'clock but may have been earlier on Sunday) and chimes every fifteen minutes thereafter.

Breakfast were very good, plentiful with lots of choice.

For the first two nights we went out to eat but on the last two we chose the half board option. You can book this in the morning but you do have to choose what you want off the menu at that time. This option is very good value for money, the choice and the food were both very good.

Staff at the hotel were very helpful and pleasant.

The hotel has free parking at a nearby underground car park.

This is a lovely part of Italy that I'll be sure to visit again, if I do I will more than likely stay at this hotel again.

Room Tip: Height of some rooms on top floor compromised by sloping ceiling.

“Great place”

We stayed in this hotel in June and thought that it was great value for money. The rooms were spotless, the food excellant and the staff friendly. Its a good base for touring the local area.
We had a great waiter, the menu was in Italinen but he translated it for us each evening. One evening there was nothing that I would eat on the menu and he suggested a few alternatives which I thought was good.
To be honest we went from here on to a 4 star hotel in the lakes and we both reckon on a value for money basis, we should have stayed at the Cavallino - a great find!

A friendly, welcoming, relaxing, place to stay. We didn't want to leave the charm of the hotel or town. The staff added warmth to the already charming hotel. The dinner was superb, I had prans and shrimp that melted in my mouth, my husband enjoyed the beef steak with a unique peppercorn sauce but best of all was the Apple Strudel (may be the best thing I have ever eaten!). This was our first 2 nights in Italy and may have been the best part of the 2 week trip!
