We visited Almaranto in January, during winter, and it honestly felt like stepping into a fairy tale. From the very warm welcome to a complimentary upgrade to a stunning suite with a private jacuzzi, an enormous room, and a huge private balcony — everything was perfect. Breakfast was a solid 10/10. One morning we were the only guests at the hotel, and they surprised us with a private chef who prepared an entire buffet just for us, using incredible, high-quality ingredients. It felt unbelievably special. The on-site ANIMA restaurant is also outstanding. The quality of the ingredients is exceptional, everything is homemade, and the wine selection feels endless. A big plus is that ANIMA is open at hours when most Italian restaurants aren’t, which keeps the experience fully authentic while still being very comfortable for travelers who aren’t used to strict Italian dining schedules. When booking directly, you also get two complimentary wine tastings, which made the experience even better. The reception team was exceptionally kind and helpful, always happy to consult and help us plan where to go and what to visit. The level of care and attention was outstanding. This is hands down the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. We will definitely return - including in the summer. Don’t be afraid to come during low season, you might just have the entire hotel to yourself with lots of activities nearby! 🙂
