Room decor is very simple and showers are tiny
This small hotel, right by the ski slopes of the Rhaetian Alps, has a friendly atmosphere and good food and attracts travelers on ski vacations and mountain bikers. Rooms are spacious (and very simple), and larger rooms with multiple beds are available for families and groups. It’s a short walk to the chairlift, and a free bus runs for those who don’t want to walk with their equipment. Breakfast and dinner are served in a room with views of the mountains. The hotel is popular for families with children, and has a colorful play area and a children’s corner in the restaurant, but is also a good choice for couples and single travelers. Downsides include the lack of a pool or free Wi-Fi. It’s open seasonally, from December to mid-April and from July until late August.
Scene
Rustic space with homespun charm
The Hotel Adamello is a petite, ochre-colored building by the mountains. Inside is a casual space filled with woods, and the ceilings are painted with colorful flowers. There are lots of homey touches, including needlepoint samplers on the walls and wood crafts throughout. The dining room is simply but tastefully decorated with burgundy and yellow linens. It has panoramic views of the peaks of the mountains and a small, colorful children’s corner with a table and toys. A newer bar area has a German-farmhouse style with wood-paneled walls.
Location
Right by the town center and within walking distance of chairlifts
The hotel is about a five-minute walk down the road from the center of Passo del Tonale, with plenty of restaurants and shops; it is also a five-minute walk from the chairlifts. A free ski bus runs regularly and stops by the hotel. Travelers taking the train can travel to Male, then take a coach bus. The closest airport is Verona Villafranca Airport, which is about two hours and 20 minutes away. Those flying in from outside of Europe may find cheaper flights through the Milan Malpensa Airport, a three-hour drive from the hotel.
Rooms
Simple and spacious rooms with lots of wood, some with mountain views
The hotel has 42 rooms, including Double, Triple, and Quadruple Rooms as well as Junior and Family Suites. They’re decorated in a classic style, with red patterned carpeting and coordinating red and gold bedspreads. There is simple cedar furniture and matching wall paneling with intricate carved designs behind the beds and flowers stenciled on the walls. The blue-and-white bathrooms are standard in size, although the walk-in showers are tiny. Amenities include flat-screen TVs, safes, and hairdryers, and Wi-Fi is available for a fee. Some rooms also have views of the mountains.
Features
Restaurant serving breakfast and dinner, bar for drinks, and colorful play area for kids
The hotel serves a buffet breakfast with a good selection of sweet and savory food and a three-course dinner with a salad bar. The food varies each night and there’s a candlelight dinner once a week. The cozy bar area is good for apres-ski drinks. The colorful play room has a play structure with a tube slide as well as toys and games, including table tennis. For cyclists, there’s a bike store and repair shop on-site. Wi-Fi is available for a small fee. Pets are allowed, but guests should contact the hotel ahead of time to arrange a pet-friendly room.
