We…read morebooked the Hotel Genzianella plenty in advance based on recommendations and were not disappointed at all! We arrived very late (2:30am) and the staff was accommodating our arrival ensuring that our keys and such were available for us. The rooms were great but the grounds, breakfast, staff, and catering to cyclists was the best. As we interacted with the staff we suspected they were family as they all clearly looked like sisters...and we were right. Family owned for quite some time and the care and attention to detail shows. The attitude of friendliness to us at every moment was very nice. The front grounds were amazingly kept and welcoming to just sit and enjoy the sun and conversation. For us it presented a great place for some après refreshments as we eased our sore legs. The hotel is perfectly located for cyclists. While we didn't partake in the promoted Stelvio Experience (we had arranged outer own courses for the 3 days) it did look like quite a good organization if you hadn't arranged a plan in advance. The hotel and Bormio are perfectly located for riding. We didn't use our car at all and were able to ride Stelvio, Gavia, Mortirolo and other areas with ease. The hotel itself caters to cyclists with an amazing secure bike room and all the tools you could need to give your ride a tune each day and wash afterwards. Really fantastic. And the laundry service for your cycling kit also was very welcome. The front desk also carries some gels and electrolytes for purchase if you need some. While we didn't partake in the restaurant for dinner, the breakfast was amazing. An array of very tasty options to please everyone. Coffee, latte, espresso machine accommodates those in your party who drink coffee. And if you don't there are plenty of other fresh fruit juices to enjoy. Fantastic breakfast to start the day. Totally would book here again if coming back (which I hear the skiing is amazing as well). Many thanks to the Andreola family and staff for their hospitality!! Grazie mille!

Overall the resort is very exclusive.

We had a 2 bedroom suite which was very quiet. I did not like though the incorporated bathroom in our bedroom. See picture... tub is right next to the bed. Other problem if you like it colder for sleeping it's tough as the bathroom is heated and there's no thermostat to regulate. Food is amazing and personnel overall very friendly. We like the separated kids areas , especially for the pools.since we booked a suite for our family of 4 ( 2 kids above 18 years). Here was the BIG problem: We had access to the more exclusive sea lodge where they have a separate spa . The spa had a sign in front of their entrance saying: FREE TREATMENT: 12 o clock 20 min massage So as every English speaking person would , we assumed free treatment means free treatment, thinking because of the high end pricing at the sea lodge that's what they offered as a little extra to their guests. I went in the sis and said to the receptionist: do you still have the free massage available? And she said yes and booked our family of 4. My kids also asked for another treatment that was advertised as 'free treatment' but later we found everything on our invoice (+440€) I went to the responsible accountant who was clearly shocked that the spa would write on their sign : free treatments instead of free appointments . I said there's a BIG difference and this will backfire I'd more English speaking guests will arrive. He asked which treatments were used and unassigned he would take it off the bill or at least come up with some compromise but no, he said thank you for pointing this out ( and the spa changed their sign afterwards ) and that was it... Later we also saw more drinks being charged than we ordered so overall we were very disappointed in our second stay at this resort which clearly was the last time we went! I would have appreciated a better approach from the management in solving this matter !!

Water or refreshments should be provided It is very expensive for what you get as far as meals and food goes - I feel like lunch should be an option or at least a bottle of inexpensive wine at dinner. The room could use a coffee maker and coffee making supplies

Breathtaking view with long gorgeous pistes that are catered mostly to intermediate skiers made this my favorite ski resort. The spectacular panoramic view of the Alps exceeds Obereggen and Alta Badia by far, it's hands down the best scenic resort. It's probably one of the most popular ski destination with the possible celebrity sightings such as F.Alonso, Massa, Valentino Rossi who are some of the regulars. With 19 lifts (5 gondolas, 12 chair lifts, 2 surface lifts) the resort offers skiers an incredible 1000 metres (3281 feet) of vertical descent and has 35 pistes with a total length of 60 kilometers. I snowboarded here during the week of Xmas from Dec.23 to Dec. 28 and I cannot ask for any better time to come here..... the pistes were almost empty!!! Since most people prefer to stay home with their family during the Xmas week, we got such an amazing deal for 4 nights stay with 4 days ski pass, breakfast, and 3 course dinner for only 420 euro from a nearby hotel (Hotel Canada)!! However, starting the 28th the pistes were getting crowded and the price hiked. I would definitely go back again...... I can't wait!!!!

Is wanting an early morning coffee an American thing? I want to get up at five, have some coffee and go down to the gym before the day starts. Maybe a little coffee maker in the room even? -The hotel gym, while beautifully situated in this cool little converted room/free standing outbuilding deeper on the grounds, consisted of two or three cardio machines. No free weights, no weight machines. -the Restaurant Park Laurin (again, in a BEAUTIFUL environment under a canopy on the grounds) was good but not great. -The lobby was pretty sweltering when we first entered. (in June) But enough minor complaints. Overall, the place was pretty awesome. Just old-school enough, very charming, spacious rooms, amazing grounds to walk around (see pix), all the staff were great, deluxe breakfast buffet. The cocktail we had on the Laurin Bar patio overlooking the lush, green grounds made for one of the best moments of the 4 days in Bolzano.
