Hotel Fortini

Distance to Groste Gondola, Restaurant, Bar.

Not comfortable pillows, a bit too high room temperature and not fresh air at night.

Ski in ski out. Breakfast was perfect.

The hotel is situated beside Grosté and Fortini lifts just outside the village of Madonna. You can ski all the way down to the entrance, very conveniently passing a lively after ski hut before you take off your ski boots. The room was simple but adequate. Beds a bit on the hard side. A few more hangers on the walls for helmest, jackets etc would be an improvement. Our room had a balcony overlooking the slope, although we really could not use it because of the copious amounts of snow that fell during our weekend stay. Heated storage for your ski boots and lockers for your skis in the basement. Parking in a garage just across the road was included in the room. Breakfast buffé one of the better I have seen in Italy - everything from youghurt with müsli and fruit, scrambled eggs and bacon to the usual cakes and croissants for the sweet tooth. We had dinner at the restaurant one evening and the food was good (cold cuts, a delicious risotto with prawns and then tagliata) and better priced than in the village. The bar also served good sandwiches etc for lunch.

A lift to the basement would have been handy, since I had some knee problems. (And yes, I could ski, but had some problems with stairs... ;-) )
