We can't seem to stay away from Haus Silbernagl. We were back this Spring for the third year in a row -- and this time we had a different, but still lovely, room. The bonus was that it was on the second to the top floor, so we had a shorter climb.

The breakfasts are as tasty and ample as ever, and Petra is always available in the morning to go over our day's plans and offer advice. This year we managed to visit the Trauttmansdorff Castle garden on our second attempt. A driving rain turned us back half way to the castle on our first attempt. We succeeded the next day, despite an intermittent rain -- and had a glorious time.

We hope to accept Petra's offer to plan a route for us around the perimeter of Italy (with Castelrotto, as our first or final destination) for our next visit. That should be fantastic!

If you are considering a stay at Haus Silbernagle, don't hesitate. The house is luxurious while affordable. Have a great stay!

We stayed in Haus Silbernagl for 2 nights in September 2011 and enjoyed our stay. Our room was clean and spacious, the breakfast was delicious, especially the eggs, and the pool was a great way to relax. Our hostess was very helpful.

There is a first time for everything, and this happened to be the 1st recommended place on TripAdvisor that greatly disappointed us. True: Petra is helpful with many ideas for things to do in the region and the location at the edge of Alpe di Siusi is lovely. However, this B&B is truly overrated. The house and our room was very clean, but after a 2 night stay the flaws were uncomfortably evident. The mattresses were terrible, and should be changed out immediately (which we informed Petra upon our departure). Additionally the down comforters and pillows should also be replaced. Barely any water came out of the shower head due to calcification buildup. Without exaggerating, the towels were incredibly rough, perfect for exfoliation. The recommended restaurants in Castelrotto were tourist traps (Saalstuben and the Pizzeria). Then I thought the breakfast would be stellar based on other reviews. She offers the usual cheap, grocery store fare - this region is particularly known for very delicious meat and cheese, none of which she serves. Cheap juice, milk, decaf coffee, bread, and marmalade - it is all in the taste. It should also be noted that Petra does not prepare to have any special bakery or bread for Sundays when the town bakery is closed. This was so disappointing. We even received our same dirty cloth napkin, with a noticeable amount of Nutella on it, from the previous morning. This was the first time I have traveled away for a weekend, and was looking forward to returning to the comforts of my own home. All of the positive reviews have everything to do with the region, and that these people can look past the necessities of a comfortable bed and breakfast.

I brought my parents and their two friends to the Dolomites and their intro to the area was Garni Silbernagl and its charming host Petra. My parents wanted to stay longer - we'll be back! Thank you Petra!
