Italy - hotels in the mountains close to Trento and the Italian lakes.

Albergo Al Pian, Vattaro

Albergo Al Pian, Vattaro is a charming chalet-style hotel in a quiet mountain village close to the lakes of Caldonazzo and Levico Terme. The picturesque city of Trento is about 20km away, with its pretty cobbled streets, fading frescos and attractive Piazza Duomo - the city's central square, dotted with appealing cafes and framed by a backdrop of breathtaking mountain scenery. The area has a wealth of lovely walks and cycle tracks (mountain bikes are available to hire at the hotel) and the ski runs of the Folgaria and Lavarone plateaux are nearby.

L'Albergo Al Pian has just 18 simply furnished yet comfortable rooms, all with en-suite bathroom, central heating, satellite/cable TV, direct-dial phone line and internet modem link. Many rooms have their own balcony with gorgeous views over the spectacular snow-capped Dolomites.

There is a cosy panelled dining room where guests can choose from a tempting menu of local and international specialities and an impressive list of delicious Italian, German and Austrian wines. You'll also find a relaxing chalet bar as well as a TV/reading lounge and a sun terrace. The hotel also has a large, attractive garden plus private parking facilities. Major credit cards are welcome.
