Blu Hotel Natura & Spa - Adults Only

Absolutely gorgeous hotel, would highly recommend for a stay in Folgaria:) - The hotel is a short walk from the town centre and skibus/ tourist train. We found the location to be incredibly convenient. - Our room was kept immaculately clean, very modern design & with a stunning view from the balcony. - The spa area was a fabulous addition to our stay, very relaxing and with a gorgeous view. - We also loved the hotel bar area, and found it to be incredibly cosy by the fire. Drinks were spectacular (highly recommend the Hugo). - Our only very slight issue was that the wifi didn’t work in our room, however, this was a minor inconvenience as it worked perfectly in the bar area downstairs. - Finally, the food was absolutely delectable and beautifully presented every evening. Overall, we enjoyed a peaceful, beautiful stay in Folgaria, and would certainly stay here again in future :)

A wonderful hotel. Friendly staff, amazing food and a beautiful spa to relax and soothe the body after a few falls on the slopes! Our room was on the 3rd floor and felt large and airy due to the high ceiling. Shower suitably powerful, even if the cubicle was a little small. Lots of light switches in the room, a bit of a puzzle to work out which was which! Good size fridge/minibar that you could store your own things in to keep cool. The food here is a stand out feature. Dinner was five courses (buffet salad/bread/cheese and then 4 a la carte courses). Lots of regional food options from Trentino. Refreshing to not be just pasta and pizza etc. Dinner and breakfast at our own table which was the same for the duration of our stay. Special mention to Emmanuel and Silvia who provided amazing service in the restaurant. Wine and drinks really reasonable prices considering this is a hotel. Catered for my food allergy, proactively telling me what I could and couldn’t have each day, making amendments where possible to dishes and on one night providing me with my own printed menu. Nice and gentle 10 minute walk to the historic centre of Folgaria and the ski bus stop. We would definitely come back.

Terrible service during breakfast and dinner. Only one waiter to take orders on approx 30 tables. And everything would be okay if he wouldn’t stop and talk with his friends. We waited over 30min to get asked what will we eat and that is only after we stoped him and then after appetizers we waited 50min for the next course. The food that came was cold and prepared over few hours ago (not even a curtosy heating up in a microwave that bad restaurants do). The salad table is self service but it is served in small batches so 4 people take all the salad and then you wait for them to “refill” which takes few minutes. It is the same case with the breakfast. It starts from 7:30 am but if you want to have scrambled eggs you have to wait until 8am because it is not coming out. The rooms are also a story for itself. We paid two identical rooms and got two very different ones, one bigger the other smaller in the corner. Cleaning service is great but our room is much larger and better then the other that we paid for. I’m sharing a picture of the main course in the review to see what I’m talking about.

The food (dinner and breakfast) is simply outstanding and all the staff from SPA therapists, waiters, receptionist, barkeeper, housekeeping etc. were astonishingly comforting, polite, care taking and friendly which hasn't happened very often before. The hotel itself is very clean, modern, perfectly maintained and well located, so you just walk 3 minutes down to the city center and ski bus stops etc. Free advice: Book a room facing the pool side as you will have the sun on your side/balcony which makes a huge difference! The SPA works perfectly as described and is very relaxing after a long day on skies. You have different saunas, steam bath and a swimming pool with an outside area and several jacuzzis and even a sauna outside with a beautiful view at sunset. We had some massages and facial treatments booked separately, and we were very satisfied, but you need to express your will if you want it softer or harder etc. at the very beginning, then the therapist will adjust.

We went on a ski trip to this great Adults Only hotel and spa. We had hired a car to use instead of a transfer and to get to the slopes. Using Google maps, on the details given did not take us to the hotel it was a 100 metres short or so and was further up the narrow road Via Leonardo da Vinci, a local pointed us in the right direction. Everything else though was fantastic, the hotel has a garage to park the car, and unlike many other hotels, they do not charge to use it. The garage was spotless and this set the tone for our whole stay. All the staff from the reception, chambermaids, waiters, and waitresses, were all well-presented, polite, and very helpful. Our room was cleaned by Elena who kept the room spotlessly clean, provided us with extras pillows on request, beleive me my wife can spot a speck of dust at 100 metres, even made good comments on this. We stayed on a half-board basis. Breakfast was good, and the coffee was fresh and hot you may have to wait for a few minutes but the coffee was made when you ordered it and was worth the wait. One of the the two major highlights of this well-run and 100% customer focussed hotel was the Dinner time, where when we stayed the young chef Davide who has trained in a Michelin Star establishment turned the meals into culinary, full of flavour art forms, you had to choose 4 courses and everyone was amazing, there was a buffet for you to select salads as well as desired. Davide is a brilliant chef and with the whole waiting team made each meal a delight. The Maitre D' Emanelle, runs a well oiled machine supported by his able waiting staff, Davide, Elisbietta, and Dris, there were others but they looked after another part of the restaurant. The other significant highlight of this hotel is in the price you get 2 hours a day FREE SPA ACCESS that you need to book in advance. My wife and I are not so young and fit as we used to be, but the Spa with its indoor pool, heated outdoor pool, large indoor jacuzzi, 2 external hot tubs, steam room, and a total of 4 saunas of varying temperatures x 1 of which was women only, loungers, sofas, relaxation room, mellow lit showers, just took our stay to the next level, and as a result of the spa we did not ache at all after a long full days skiing. With nibbles (dried fruit, nuts, seeds, apples) and tea making facilities as well made the use of the spa an absolute delight. This hotel has the right formula, spot on. You pay whatever they charge for the room and board, and do not try to fleece you with charging for everything else. This hotel helps you to relax, heal your, body soul, and tantalises your taste buds, what more can you ask for. This hotel is within the top 3 of all the hotels we have ever stayed in, and we have stayed in a lot of hotels. Without hesitation, I would book to return to this hotel, we had an amazing stay. Tara you run a fantastic hotel, one of the best, keep up the good work.

Stayed first week of March on a ski holiday with friends. Let's start with the good bits. The Barman he was good. Liked him tremendous job. The cleaners were also very good. The room was okay. Nothing to shout home about. Other people in our group did have smaller rooms and lacked space to put your clothes. These are the rooms on the end and in the corners so try and avoid them! I love food and I was really excited about Italian food but I found it really disappointing and soon dinner became a chore and not something I was looking forward too. It's a 4 course meal. Water isn't included and the bottled waters are 4 euros each. They do not offer tap water. This might be standard for Italy though. The waiters shout out to you who wants the chicken .... You then have to put your hand up like you're in a canteen at school 😂 A tip for the hotel would be to ask each person on the table individually what they would like and have a list in front of you that you just tick off.... Would make it a much nicer experience for the customer. I have left a few photos of the food. Try and guess what each dish is. The Spa was nice though. Overall my stay was okay but I wouldn't go again.
