This squeaky-clean hostel is bang in the middle of town and just a few minutes'
walk from the main train station (convenient, yes, but also, at times, noisy). Rooms are
comfortable and upper floors have mountain views; the mansard-roofed family room on
the top floor is particularly spacious.

Elegant
small hotel in a historic medieval house with rooms that are modern and airy (if a little on
the staid side). Suites are luxuriously spacious, including one with a large private terrace
and sauna.

Eating & Drinking
Trento's table is a hearty one and draws many of its ingredients - beef, game, cheese,
mushrooms - from its fertile hinterland. There's a lot of cross-cultural traffic too:
cotoletta
(schnitzel) and
canederli
(dumplings) are decidedly northern, polenta and asparagus
evoke the Veneto and Garda's olive oil conjures the Mediterranean. Bakeries brim with
apple strudel, but don't overlook the local carrot cake. Wines to look out for include
Trento DOC, a sparkling made from chardonnay grapes, the white Nosiola and the ex-
tremely drinkable red, Teroldego Rotaliano DOC. Trentino's smartly bottled Surgiva min-
eral water is considered one of Italy's best, for taste and purity
