Reviews for Vigilius Mountain Resort
great but not as great
I have stayed at this hotel more than a dozen times over the past 10+ years. I remain positive about the hotel (see pros), but I am developing some concerns (see cons) that are causing me to reconsider. The shifting clientele may reflect some of my ‘cons’: formerly a mix of British/American, Italian & German to what seems to be primarily a German/Austrian clientele Pros: a groundbreaking eco hotel that is still ahead of its time Great rooms and public areas in great condition…it is hard to believe the hotel was built 20 years ago Great car-free location with nice views plus peace & quiet as you reach it by a lift that takes you high above the town of Lana Great guest spaces: spa, sauna, pools, sun decks, library Nice chairlift that is free to hotel guests from 9 to 17:00 Cons: The 2nd, informal restaurant/bar no longer serves dinner so there is no bar open in the evening nor an informal dining option On my last few stays the food in the high end restaurant (the only choice) has definitely slipped in terms of quality while increasing in terms of price Logging in the areas above the hotel and new construction have made several of the trails less appealing The switch to allowing dogs is, for me, a big negative as some owners do not control their pets properly (I.e. dog on dog scrimmages, dogs in the lounge, dogs let out to run loose outside). Fortunately, so far no dogs are allowed in the high end restaurant. The frequent staff turnover results in a lack of continuity in service and procedure The hotel itself is a great design and the rooms are extremely comfortable. The public spaces are quite large, varied and well thought out for a smal to medium sized hotel. Given the number of high end alternative resorts in the area and the ‘cons’ that are surfacing, Vigilius is slipping its former status as ‘the clear choice’ to ‘a possible choice’.

another beautiful stay
this time we stayed 5 nights in one of the beautiful suites. although the weather was not as good as usual there we enjoyed a relaxed time again. the swimming pool is perfect for everyone and the restaurant is great with excellent service.

Heaven on earth
Great place to unplug and get lost in nature... The architecture blends perfectly with the surrounding, the food is delicious and the customer service is top notch. Lovely walks in the area and fantastic view from the hotel itself. Highly recommended!

simply beautiful
this was our second stay in the vigilius. we felt like coming home and the staff is very nice and discreet. besides breakfast and dinnertime you feel the total privacy and quietness in the house. the kids enjoy the swimming pool area and the space in the suite gives you plenty of relaxing moments.

The first impression counts...
... and that was quite disappointing. As we arrived, we first had difficulties to find the parking to the cable car. After finding it, we struggled to find a parking spot. We then pulled our large suitcases up the stairs to the cable car. After check-in, the hotel told us we had to move our car to a different place. So we went down again but the wait for the cable car was very long. So that took care of our late afternoon/evening. Why doesn‘t the hotel have a person in the valley to help the guests? This example shows the lack of attention and service. The room is nice though. The design of the hotel as well.
