Bad St. Isidor

Bad St. Isidor is a family-run, small hotel above Bolzano that feels like a quiet mountain hideaway with valley views and a relaxed, outdoorsy rhythm.

Peaceful setting: Set in green hillside surroundings, Bad St. Isidor suits travelers who want fresh air and a slower pace while still being a short drive from Bolzano’s center.

Rooms with a view: The property highlights cozy rooms across several categories, with many offering balconies and sweeping views over the valley and Bolzano—an easy win for sunrise coffee and wind-down evenings.

Outdoor pool time: In warmer months, the small outdoor swimming pool and sun loungers add a simple, restorative “do nothing” option after hiking or city time.

Food on-site: The in-house restaurant leans into regional South Tyrolean cooking alongside lighter Mediterranean dishes, and the stay experience is often shaped by the convenience of having dinner right where you sleep.

Extra value for exploring: Guests receive a Bolzano/Bozen guest card on arrival, which can make getting around and planning day trips feel easier and more flexible.

Great for walkers: The Kohlern area is positioned as a starting point for hikes, and you can also plan a city-and-nature mix with the nearby Kohlern cable car connection.

Trade-off: not central: Because Bad St. Isidor sits above Bolzano, you may rely on a car or planned transport rather than stepping straight into the old town.

Trade-off: seasonal features: The outdoor pool is typically a summer perk, so shoulder-season stays may feel more focused on hiking, views, and dining.
