Overview
An activity all inclusive like no other, we promise a family jaunt to Feuerstein will exceed even the highest of expectations. Nestled in the South Tyrol mountain range, stunning scenery is just the first of many, many A+ accolades this Italian idyll holds claim to. A self-proclaimed ‘Nature Family Resort’, it’s clear the moment you step through the door (and are greeted with a children’s play area next to check in), this pad has been purposefully designed for parents
Shaking up the standard supervision scene (with most hotels operating a strict 2+ door policy), babes from newborn are warmly welcomed into the (complimentary!) childcare fold. The Kids Club is split into two age groups; 0-4 and 5+, with epic spaces for tots through tweens to blow off steam. While the Montessori-based entertainment is legendary, the focus at Feuerstein is very much on enabling time together. From pony rides and mini farm visits to the Ninja Parkour, mud room, bungee trampolining and wood workshopping, the comprehensive array of boredom busting activities here are all free of charge. Sprogs could happily while away the whole day splashing around the quadrant of pools alone – which include an outdoor infinity, toddler splash pad and all-levels-of-adrenaline-giving slides, each and every one heated, of course. The adults spa and glorious gym are on hand for some mummy-me time, and all grown ups should carve out a few hours to hand themselves over to the results-driven therapists
As a 5* stay, the prices here may not be cheap, but in our opinion, they’re some of the best value for money on the continent! Family Rooms include separate bunk bed sleeping spaces for kids (which you’d be paying double for in one of Europe’s beachfront boltholes) and the Luxury Board dining is both gourmet and incredibly generous. As gorgeous bathed in sunshine as it is doused in snow, this is an all-season stay, with a justification for visiting every month of the year! We could wax lyrical forever more on the magic of Feuerstein, but we’ll force ourselves to stop here. If there’s one thing left to say, it’s this – move over Disneyland, Feuerstein is THE place, where dreams come true

The perfect family hotel does exist! Feuerstein expertly strikes the balance between wholesome activities to entertain the kids and parent-pleasing elements like a chic adults-only spa, wellness classes and fine dining. My son loved the playbarn, the best play area we’ve ever seen in a hotel, and I couldn’t get enough of the jaw-dropping indoor/outdoor heated pool with mountain views. There’s loads to do in this region of South Tyrol if you can tear yourself away from the hotel. Our stay in Winter was pure magic!

Reviews from other parents
We had sky-high expectations when visiting Feuerstein, but honestly the staff, service & scenery blew our minds. My kids spent hours splashing around in the heated pools, and I'm not sure who loved the flumes more - them or my husband! The complimentary Kids Club enabled us a little downtime, but what makes Feuerstein so special, in my opinion, is everything you can do together; from the 2 story play barn, to horse riding, the mud room and painting studio. The food is also exceptional - and with really generous meal times. I've never encountered staff as wonderful and the rooms (with cute bunkbeds for kids) are really well conceived. We were lucky enough to experience snow during our trip -which was nothing short of magical - but can imagine sunbathing next to and swimming in the lake would be glorious in the summer

The hotel is in a super quiet spot in the mountains. It’s so well set up for children and babies - with an amazing kids club that our 4 year old begged to go back to (which is unheard of!) The star of the show is the heated outdoor pool surrounded by magical mountain scenery. While the kids were being looked after we spent time in the adults only spa, the highlight of which were the rooftop hot tub and fire pit! We’re already planning to return
