Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Garnì Villanova, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the top floor (3rd floor) as it is likely to be quieter due to the hotel's address on Via Giuseppe Garibaldi, a relatively quiet street. This floor is also likely to have fewer lift usage noise, as it's the highest floor.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the service entrance, as this area might experience noise from staff and deliveries. Additionally, rooms near the Via Giuseppe Garibaldi side might be more prone to outside noise, especially during peak hours.
Best views
As the hotel's address is on Via Giuseppe Garibaldi, rooms on the Via side (north-facing) will have a view of the surrounding mountains and the lake, offering a picturesque view of the area.
Quietest floors
2nd and 3rd floors are likely to be the quietest, given the layout and the hotel's address.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel's location on a relatively quiet street means that outside noise is generally minimal. However, being a 3-star hotel, it's likely that the lift and service entrance might generate some noise, especially during peak hours.
Insider tips
When checking-in, ask the staff about the best parking options, as the hotel may have designated spots for guests. This can save you time and hassle, especially during peak season. Request a room with a balcony, as this will not only provide a view but also allow you to enjoy the fresh mountain air and take in the surroundings.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Molveno village centre → Chalet Edelweiss (or ski lifts)
💡 The free 'Molveno Navetta' shuttle runs from the main car park to the lake and lift base – not essential for the hotel (it's walkable), but useful for ski gear. Don't rely on buses after 6pm in spring/autumn.
Verona Porta Nuova (train station) or Verona Airport (via bus link) → Molveno
💡 Take a regional train to Trento (€8-10), then the B201 bus. Avoid the high-speed Frecciarossa – costs more and doesn’t save time.
Verona Porta Nuova (or Trento station) → Chalet Edelweiss, Molveno
💡 Buy a 'Trentino Tourist Train Pass' – it covers the train from Verona to Trento and the bus to Molveno. At Trento station, the bus stop for Molveno is opposite the main exit, not at the bus terminal.
Verona Airport (VRN) → Molveno, Piazza del Municipio
💡 Check the B201 timetable in advance – it's infrequent. If you miss the last bus, take a taxi from San Lorenzo Dorsino, 20 mins away.
Verona Airport (VRN) → Residence Genzianella, Via G. Marconi, Molveno
💡 Book a fixed-price transfer to avoid haggling. Easytaxi.com covers this route reliably.
Verona Airport (VRN) → Chalet Edelweiss, Molveno
💡 Take FlixBus or Alto Adige shuttle from Verona to Trento station, then catch Trentino Trasporti bus 611 to Molveno. Get off at 'Molveno Piazze' stop – it's a 5-min walk to the hotel. Buy a combined ticket from the Trento info point, not the driver.
Verona Airport (VRN) → Chalet Edelweiss, Molveno
💡 Book through local Molveno operators (e.g., Taxi Molveno) for fixed rates – airport rank drivers may charge more. Confirm the driver knows the hotel's side road off Via Nazionale.
Verona Airport (VRN) → Molveno (drop-off near cable car)
💡 Direct, no changes. Best for skiers/boarders. Not available outside winter – check lavaredobus.it for exact dates.
Molveno town centre → Residence al Caminetto, Molveno
💡 Once in Molveno, the free ski shuttle (winter) or the navetta turistica (summer) runs from the car park at the lake up the hill to the hotel. Ask at the tourist office for the exact stop — it's called 'Caminetto' and drops you 50m from the entrance. Saves you the 15-minute uphill walk.
Molveno lakeside station (3 min walk from Hotel Zurigo) → Pradel mountain plateau
💡 Works as a hike shortcut — buy a one-way ticket down at the end of the day to save your knees.
Trento station → Molveno
💡 The tram runs north to Cles — get off at Mezzolombardo and hop on bus B201 to Molveno. The tram is scenic but slow; it's fine if you're not in a rush. Buy a 24-hour ticket for €8 to cover both tram and bus.
Verona Airport (VRN) or Bergamo Orio al Serio (BGY) → Hotel Zurigo, Molveno
💡 Order a shared shuttle from Bergamo — costs around €60 per person, drops you at Piazza Molveno, a 5-minute walk to the hotel.

💡 Go at sunset for the best light on the peaks; bring binoculars to spot golden eagles circling above the rock faces.
