Montelago-San Gottardo Holidays from NZ$3,345

It good but food is expensive 😩

If you are looking for the experience of an American hotel in Italy, this is for you! It was our last stay after traveling and staying at several Airbnbs and hotels in northern Italy. Rooms and common were beautiful and very nicely decorated. A/C was excellent (not always the case in other places we stayed). The hotel is located in an industrial-ish area. We stayed there the last two days of our vacation because it was fairly close to the airport. There is free covered onsite parking which is good since it is in a really ugly location and you will need a car to get to any of the surrounding area. Supermarket nearby was great and Macdonalds just a 5-minute drive along the road to the airport. Not a lot of dining nearby unless you drive into Villfranca. After reviewing the menu, we chose not to eat at the onsite restaurant—it seemed over-priced. (We had already been eating out in Italy for two weeks prior to staying at this hotel so had a good idea of what things should cost.) It was annoying that the menu wasn’t available online or in the room or even posted outside the restaurant somewhere. The breakfast was an additional 10 euro which seemed a little pricey as well. Mini-bar prices were reasonable, given the choices and the convenience. When we arrived, the staff really didn’t give us any information about the hotel amenities, to include the fact that one of the two onsite bars was closed for vacation. Privacy was great. Very quiet.
