On our last night of
vacation we decided to splurge yet again, on another wonderful dinner in
Madonna di Campiglio. I did a little
research and found the Bio Hotel Hermitage.
I noticed that it wasn’t that close to our hotel though.
When I called to make the reservation I asked
if they had a shuttle service?
The
gracious receptionist asked where we were staying and then she said that they
could pick us up, and after they would call us a taxi to go home.
Great solution!
The shuttle service
picked us up punctually at 8:15 and after a 7 minute or so drive up the hill we
arrived to the Hermitage. We were warmly
greeted by the hostess, Signoria Maffei,
I believe, our coats were taken and then she suggested that we have an
aperitivo in the lounge/bar. We of
course accepted the suggestion, and were told to sit wherever we wanted. There was a musician playing lite electric
piano bar music and the atmosphere was warm & cozy.
That evening there
was a special promotional event sponsored by the Trentino Sparkling Wine Makers
Union, so the nice glass of bubbly was on the house.
After 10 minutes or so a gentleman Signore
Maffei, I believe, dressed in typical Trentino mountain costume
came to our table and said we are ready whenever you are. It was so nice.
We walked passed
this beautiful decorated Christmas tree on the wall that Signoria Maffei
created.
As I was taking a photo of it
she said I just can’t take it down yet.
The main Hotel dining room was very active, but we were guided into the
Stube.

I was handed the ladies menu with no prices
of which everything sounded wonderful.

Even though there was venison on the menu I resisted and went for the
