We stayed a week with Elena and really enjoyed her amazing space, it was perfect for our family (2 teenage daughters). Elena, was a fantastic host and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and get the most from our time in Trento, recommending restaurants, grocery stores and things to do. The space has a modern European kitchen, with new appliances, The beds were comfortable, hot shower, very clean and well maintained.
Some things to consider.
1) Some other reviews mentioned this property is on a hill, it is, but is very close to the town centre. There is an excellent walking path away from the road and cars. Trento is in the heart of the dolomite mountain region of Italy. Elena’s property is in the stunning Trento valley, the house is on the side of valley, the town centre is at the bottom of the valley. The locals walk this path a couple times a day, including Elena’s own family. In my mind the hill adds to the value of the property, however please consider for those who want or need flat access to the city centre.
2) There is so much to do in Trentino I highly recommend renting a car and venturing to surrounding areas, lake Garda, and the many adjacent valleys. Elena’s place offers a private parking space so no worry of door dings or damage. (Side note, If you are not used to driving in northern Italy be advised, a co-pilot and/or gps should be considered requirements, otherwise you will be the worst and most dangerous driver on the road. Italians by North American standards have on average astonishingly good control of their vehicles, know where they are going and are usually in a hurry. The speed limits on curvy mountain roads are almost comically high. Street legal track days with stunning views await)
Elena’s place was the perfect home base for us, I would stay again in a heartbeat.
