Not much for kids
The 24-room Hotel Maribel is a chalet-style property set in a clearing surrounded by woods. Its location in the Adamello Brenta Park is great for exploring the area's natural beauty and there's also easy access to skiing. The spa impresses, especially the fact that all the facilities are free -- in fact almost everything is free of charge. Lodge-inspired rooms are clean, comfortable, and include furnished balconies, but there's not much for kids on-site. Maso Maribel gets high marks for style and cuisine. Rates are on the high side, but there's plenty included to make it an astoundingly good value.
Scene
Ski lodge style hotel with Alpine ambience aplenty
Set in its own clearing surrounded by coniferous forests, the family-run Hotel Maribel is an imposing, Alpine chalet-style building complete with a traditional gently sloping roof, gray-stone walls, and wood-balconied facade. Guests are greeted by a stuffed reindeer and sleigh, before stepping into the fresh, modern, and pine-clad lobby area. Wood is very much a theme in this hotel -- even the lampshades hanging over the reception desk are fashioned from logs -- giving much of the property a lovely scent of wood resin. The general vibe is contemporary ski lodge, though with enough traditional elements to make it cozy. Outside, the manicured lawns are set with pretty patio furniture and gorgeous views of the mountains.
Location
Set in the natural beauty of the Adamello Brenta Park, two miles from Madonna di Campiglio
The Hotel Maribel is located in the lush and picturesque Passo Campo Carlo Magno in the Adamello Brenta Park in Northern Italy. The center of Madonna di Campiglio ski resort is about two miles away or an eight-minute drive, with around 80 miles of ski slopes. The town of Trento is around an hour and half away by car, and the nearest airport about the same. Parking at the hotel is free.
Rooms
Almost entirely wood-built rooms include balconies and free Wi-Fi
The hotel's 24 rooms are constructed and decorated almost entirely with bare wood, including wood-paneled walls, floors, and furnishings. The spaces are warmed up with upholstered arm chairs, abstract paintings on the walls, and plaid throw pillows. Standard amenities include free Wi-Fi, minibars, and 32-inch flat-screen TVs with satellite channels. Smart, modern bathrooms have walk-in showers, heated towel rails, and hairdryers, while suites also have tubs. All rooms have balconies which overlook the road or the gardens with forests beyond.
Features
Extensive spa facilities are free of charge, as are bike loan and a walking guide
The hotel features an impressive spa -- a beautifully finished contemporary wellness center with an indoor pool and a variety of relaxation tubs, saunas, and hydrotherapy treatments. All the spa facilities are free of charge, which includes robes and slippers. The hotel also serves a free breakfast each morning. Maso Maribel, the on-site restaurant, serves multi-course lunches and dinners in a wood-lined dining room. A wine cellar and full bar are luxe touches. There's a shuttle to the slopes and ski storage on-site. A mountain bike loan and Nordic walking guides are also free.
