Last New Year's Eve, we celebrated with dear friends at the Dormio Resort Eifeler Tor , located in picturesque Heimbach, right on the Eifel National Park. With breathtaking views of the valley and the meandering Rur River, this resort offered the perfect combination of peace, nature, and fun. Perfect for the adults, but definitely for the teenagers too (!)
Whether you're looking for a family getaway, a romantic weekend, or an adventure with friends, Dormio Resort Eifeler Tor is the perfect place. Why? Read on.
Super nice location, clean and comfortable houses
The resort features a variety of beautifully furnished, comfortable cottages and apartments built into a hillside. Their location offers beautiful views and privacy in your own space, complete with modern amenities and a stylish, practical design.
My own plus points for this resort
My personal highlights were the location and the houses themselves. The park looks fantastic with all those adorable houses ; it feels a bit like a cozy Smurf village in the heart of nature. And although the houses may seem small, appearances can be deceiving, they're cleverly designed with multiple floors, so all four adults and two teenagers could comfortably stay there.
Another big plus, besides the beautiful surroundings and the proximity, is that our cottage was incredibly clean. Jumping into a made bed without a second thought, and sleeping comfortably at a park? That's not always the case, but here it was perfect.
After New Year's Eve, we'd made quite a bit of fireworks mess, which we naturally wanted to clean up together the next morning. But when we looked out the window that morning, the evidence was completely gone. As if nothing had happened...
Holiday adventures and (fun) culture
Because it's not far away (only a three-hour drive from Utrecht), a midweek break during (spring) holidays is a great time to get out and enjoy everything the Eifel region has to offer. Take a walk through the natural surroundings, discover charming Monschau , or venture out on an active cycling or mountain bike tour. Within the resort, you'll also find entertainment if you're interested, from a swimming pool to a cooking studio, and there are various activities for (younger) children (we couldn't get the teenagers to go there with a stick, but that's a whole other story).
A day trip to Monschau is highly recommended. Wandering through the charming streets, you'll stumble upon the most charming shops. We finished the day beautifully with a glassblowing session .
Food and convenience
Don't feel like leaving the park? Just pick up fresh rolls and croissants early in the morning at the resort supermarket. Enjoy a German schnitzel in the evening at the Heimbacher Brauhaus, and get delicious pizza at Casa Ruscello. Honestly? It was incredibly hot in the restaurants, but if you're aware of that, you can dress accordingly. The food was excellent.
The resort is not only a wonderful place to stay, but is also appreciated by visitors for its excellent facilities, hospitality, and beautiful location. With an 8.5 rating on Booking.com, it's clear that more guests have had a great experience at Dormio Resort Eifeler Tor.
