Hotels in Laives

Just a short drive from the busy streets of Bolzano, Laives offers a quieter, more residential Italian experience with a distinct Tyrolean character. The main appeal is its dual nature as both a convenient base and a genuine local town. You can easily spend a morning exploring the shops and cafes along Corso Italia before heading into the surrounding hills for a walk through the apple orchards that define the region. The annual Laiveser Kirchweih festival in autumn is a true community event, where the town celebrates with traditional music, food, and a lively market.

Laives is ideal for independent travelers and couples who want to explore South Tyrol without the tourist crowds, while still having excellent transport links. Staying near the town center puts you within walking distance of the train station, which provides quick, regular service to Bolzano in under ten minutes. This makes the city's museums, the famous Ötzi the Iceman, and the cable cars up to the Dolomites wonderfully accessible for day trips. It’s less suited for those seeking a non-stop nightlife scene.

Accommodation here is mostly practical and comfortable, dominated by modern mid-range hotels and a few guesthouses that offer good value. On HOTEVI, you’ll find options like the Hotel Eberle, a family-run hotel with a noted restaurant, and the more contemporary Parkhotel Holzner, which features a wellness area. Both provide that essential combination of local hospitality and easy access to regional trains.
