Room ready on early arrival, easy parking, warm welcome, room clean, comfortable and very modern, with great view from balcony. The hotel is two buildings, the old Villa which has no lift, and the modern block overlooking the valley, which has the spa, pool, etc. We booked a room with a balcony and were in the new build which has a lift. Evening meal was excellent, breakfast good. Recommended

Matteo was excellent ! Very helpful and attentive to our needs. The dining room staff was also very pleasant. Loved our room with two balconies and a jacuzzi. The separate toilet room also had its own balcony! The one thing we did was move the desk’s location. It made the room bigger and more comfortable. Excellent hotel!

Excellent value, but a few things to consider

This hotel offers absolutely superb value for money, and I would stay here again in a heartbeat. I stayed in one of the balcony rooms, and well worth the extra few bucks.

A few practical things to consider...

Despite what some outdated reviews say, there is a gym and it’s all brand new (June 2019) technogym equipment. Only potential downside is there’s only one running machine, so no good if a lot of fitness people in town.

Next, the breakfast is not worth it at all. Some cured meats, an egg station, but then the rest is mainly fresh fruit and packets of biscuits etc. Coffee is pretty bad, too. I had dinner one night, which was okay... nothing to write home about, but very nice. Service was very slow though (took 15 mins to get a menu; further 10 minutes to get a drink).

Final point is that to get up/down into Trento, without a car, would be a very long and very steep hill walk. I mainly took a taxi, which ranged from €11-14 each way.

Also consider, there is a swimming pool but you need to pay €5 per day to use it (along with other spa facilities, which were all excellent).

The above are purely practical considerations, not complaints - nowhere is perfect (especially in this price range), and I thought this hotel was superb.

Absolute imazing place

If hotels.com rating would allow 6 stars then this hotel would deserve it. The hotel is located on a hill with a beautiful view over Trento. When checking in the lady at the front desk took the time to show us 3 different rooms, so that we could pick the best choice for us. We got a \"loft\" which was a room directly under the roof of the main building. This room was simply outstanding, everything in top condition, immediately you feel that you would like to stay there forever. Bathroom absolutely clean and well equipped with everything. The hotel was built something like 500 years ago, but the condition is unbelievable like a top grade 1 restored classic car. The pictures in the internet cannot even capture the charm of that hotel. Absolutely top was also the brand new looking wellness area, which was available for 5€ / day. The building could only be topped by the staff. Absolutely friendly, and very obliging giving you the feeling as if you were the owner of the hotel himself. The breakfast buffet was also outstanding with everything you wish for a good start into the day. From thousands of hotels I stayed in my life, that hotel is definitely in the top five!

Something special

This is the second time we've stayed overnight at the Madruzzo. The building is spectacular and the rooms comfortable. We've enjoyed our meals there, with a good selection of Italian and Austrian-influenced food. The Madruzzo feels luxurious without being over the top. Both visits were in winter but it must be lovely in the summer.

The wine list has a good selection of local wines.

The new wellness centre is a bit inconvenient to access from the main building - a maze of tunnels and corridors and a bit unwelcoming in winter but is probably excellent in summer!

It is slightly awkward to find and to gain access to but it is worth it.
