so far the best vegan restaurant (and fully vegan hotel) - Edit
In spring 2024 wey stayed here for 4 nights. The breakfast buffy was so far the best vegan one I had and also the 5 course menu every evening was outstanding. Also the wines choices - which of course were also vegan - was great.

Amazing food - Edit
We spent 4 nights at this great place. We very much enjoyed the spa, the nice garden and lovely outdoor natural pool. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely amazing: very creative, tasty, of altogether high quality and extremely fresh ingredients.
Read moreThe food itself would definitely be 5 stars.
There are some things that could be imoroved: drinks are quite expensive (e.g. small beer € 4,50), and wine / sparkling wine could be of better quality.
Altogether, the house seems to be rather bady soundproofed. In our room, we could hear the various sounds of other guests quite clearly.
What's missing is a cosy area to meet during evenings. The existing room attached to the bar provides a rather cold and unappealing atmosphere.
Pros: creative, high-quality food, garden and outdoor pool, friendly staff
Cons: rather highly priced,

A gourmet dinner to remember - Edit
I visited for dinner as an external guest and had an amazing time. The food was delicious, so tasty and well presented, every dish had a story to tell. The service was friendly, quick and friendly. Lovely atmosphere. I hope I will be able to enjoy the hotel, too, in the future.

A Vegan Oasis in the Italian Alps! - Edit
About five years ago, my wife and I discovered La Vimea, a vegan hotel tucked away in the Italian Alps. It turned out to be just what we were looking for—a mix of stunning views, a welcoming atmosphere, and excellent vegan accommodations.
Read moreOur visits to La Vimea were really enjoyable. The rooms had a comforting scent of pine, creating a cozy atmosphere. The balconies with mountain views were perfect for relaxing, whether having a glass of prosecco or simply enjoying the crisp mountain air. The common areas had a peaceful vibe, great for unwinding.
Now, let's talk about the food! La Vimea's culinary offerings are top-notch. Every meal is a delight, with creative dishes made from locally sourced ingredients. It's more than just vegan; it's a culinary experience that goes beyond labels.
As the owner of World Vegan Travel, I've brought two groups to La Vimea, and both experiences were fantastic. The La Vimea team knows how to make our group feel at home. Their commitment to service and seamless coordination keep us coming back.
Jump to our recent trip with another large group—La Vimea lived up to expectations. The food, service, and overall ambiance felt like returning to a place that understands us.
If you're looking for a slice of vegan paradise in the Italian Alps, this is it. Big shoutout to the incredible team at La Vimea—we'll be back for more mountain moments and plant-based perfection!

My FIFTH stay here! - Edit
Four of us spent 3 nights here in two rooms in October 2021. We were so excited to come here since we had heard of a beautiful vegan hotel in the North of Italy more than two years ago. The thing that attracted us to stay here as opposed to other hotels was honestly because it was a vegan hotel. We loved the idea that we would be able to stay in the mountains (usually a meat and dairy stronghold) and eat deliciously well and that the rooms would be free of animal products too.
Read moreWe absolutely loved this hotel. The location of the hotel is in Naturns, a small town in the valley which is charming itself, but the views from both sides of the hotel are really very lovely. Not only that, each room has a large balcony so you can do yoga, enjoy the view with a glass of prosecco, or just enjoy that incredible mountain air. The rooms themselves are charming. As you enter the room, you are greeted with a lovely scent of pine from the furniture, the beds are incredibly comfortable and I personally love the open storage space by the door. You can keep all your bags and clothes out of sight so you can enjoy the warm minimalism of the rooms. My only complaint (and it is a small one) is that there are no electrical outlets close to the bed. I imagine this might be a tactic from the creators of La Vimea to get us away from our devices, but it was a tiny bit inconvenient especially if you are there on business like we were. There were plenty of other outlets around.
The shared areas were simply lovely. While I did not participate in any yoga, I did take a look around and I saw many spaces which would be great for meditation or retreats.
The food was simply delicious. I have attached a few photos to give you an idea but think creative, locally sourced ingredients that were varied, different, and cleverly put together. It felt like the food was created with lots of love and passion.
All in all, we ADORED our stay here and not just for the hotel. There is so much to see and do in the area. We WILL be coming back!
PS: Please do not think that this is only a hotel for vegans. We firmly believe that pretty much everyone will love the food and not miss the animal products!
Update June 22 2022... We came back here with a group of 26 people, vegans and non vegans and everything was as perfect as it was the first time. Thank you to everyone at la Vimea for being a joy to work with!
Update Nov 2023... We came back here in 2023 again with a large group and it was amazing.
Pros: It's a vegan hotel! What's not to LOVE?, Luca (chef) always gets a standing ovation., Lovely rooms - the birds in the morning.

Too expensive, fixed menu, good but not extraordinary - Edit
They have a fixed menu with 3 starters, One First plate and a dessert, and you cannot know what you are going to eat till you are seated. So we get a salad (!!), A pepper cream (i hate pepper), a very good Jerusalem artichoke cream with mushrooms, gnocchi with pesto good but not extraordinary and a very good dessert with chestnut. The service Is included (!) in the 75€ per person, water Is of the source (great), a bottle of very good bio wine, Two coffee and you are at 200€ for a couple. We would have avoided two starters and saved 50€ or taken a second plate if It was given a choice.

Amazing hotel and experience! - Edit
We were here for 4 nights in June 2023.
Read moreIt was absolutely fantastic! The room, the dinners, the breakfast buffet (don't expect any sausages or vegan bacon here. The focus is really on WFPB foods, also for breakfast), the swimming pool, the staff, the location.
Really relaxed atmosphere and great food.
Although it's located in a residential neighbourhood, there's a big private parking just next to the hotel, and there's also a secure garage for storing your bicycles.
The 5-course dinner was each time different and exquisite. And most of the times swift service.
It comes at a price (which is - all things considered - in line with other hotels of this level).
Would love to go back one day😄
So the following points are just being picky, but here are some details how it could be even better:
- no fridge in room, a pity
- the natural pond is beautiful, but I didn't fancy swimming in it. Still standing water (no fountain or such, no circulation?) and the water colour didn't invite swimming (ps: I'm used to swimming in natural ponds so really can tell the difference). We did go swimming in the inside pool.
- On the first night, we were shown our table for dinner on the outdoor terrace and told 'and this is your table for your whole stay'. Well that was a bit disappointing, as it was on the 'second row', and we wanted to also enjoy the view at the garden at least once from the first row of the terrace. So we mentionned this, and later dinners we did get a table on the first row - always the same one. Why not just do it 1st come 1st choice? So we can get a different view every time? Especially for guests who stay multiple nights.
One does get to choose a table for breakfast.
- breakfast buffet is awesome, but I would have loved to see some (homemade?) vegan fermented cheezes (like camemberti, roqueforti etc).
- One can only book with the 5 course dinner included. So staying there 4 nights meant 4 times a 5 course dinner in a row, which was a bit much. Maybe give the option to book at least one night of the stay without the 5-course dinner.
PS: about accessibility: entrance and hotel/dining rooms/terrace is accessible. Accessible toilet on -1 level and garden and deck/pond can be reached via -1
There is also an accessible bath room on upper floor - opposite to a room for guests using a wheelchair.

Heaven - Edit
The food here was just extraordinary, I have just good things to say about it. Breakfast was a dream of not having to check what is vegan, there were cakes, warm food and the regular breakfast options. Throughout the day there was a lunch menu of salads, pasta and more. The bar is open throughout the day which serves cake, ice cream, drinks and coffee. The dinners were the best, the food was delicious and the menu changed daily, there was a cocktail/mock tail of the day which I loved every day. The five courses were just amazing and very creative and yummy. They were also accommodating to my mom who eats raw. The staff were very friendly and helpful and always available to talk to.

Very creative vegan kitchen. The food is from the region and biologic. The service is pretty nice, they explain every composition of the menu exactly. We liked the white wine. The atmosphere is very quite. They took very well Care about gluten-free wishes. The only pitty in my eyes was the taste of the coffee.

Every day a vegan heaven - Edit
It is hard to put in words, what happens here. The vegan breakfast buffet is amazing. Take what you like, all is vegan and so nicely prepared.
Read moreIt would be a recommendation worth alone, but what they do here every evening is mind blowing. The team creates every evening a new surprising fine dining experience, which makes you wait for it the whole day. The creativity and skill of the kitchen is just amazing, while the friendliness and efficiency of the service is just on same extra high level.
We need to come back.

A vegan('s) dream - Edit
First and until now sadly last time I was there was 2020 and I still gush about it to others, yearn for it and recommend it to everyone I can. One day I will definitely return. All the dishes are delicious and unique, it's not only such an enjoyeable experience but it will inspire your own cooking as well, e.g the last two years I have placed more focus on my salad dressings as this restaurant showed me just how good and impactful dressings can be. The dishes are just so creative, if giving more than 5 stars was possible this place would deserve it. Thinking about it makes me excited

Einfach super lecker - Edit
Heute war ich zum ersten Mal im Restaurant des Hotels essen und es war einfach Spitze!
Read moreEs gab ein 5-Gänge Menü, das an Raffinesse nicht zu toppen war. Jeder Gang war für sich schon mega lecker. Die Portionen waren ausreichend groß, denn ich bin nach den fünf verschiedenen Gängen echt gut gesättigt.
Klar ist es preislich kein Schnäppchen, aber Qualität hat ihren Preis und ist es in diesem Fall einfach Wert!
Fazit: Lecker Essen und toller Service zu einem angemessenen Preis.
