IMMERSED IN TRENTINO HISTORY

CASTLES AND FORTS

Fortifications ranging from medieval times to the early twentieth century tell of the centuries-old role of “borderland” that Trentino – and Valsugana in particular – had.

The Castles

From Castel Ivano to Castel Pergine, passing through Castel Telvana, Castel Cucco, Castel Selva and the Torre dei Sicconi … some restored and become fascinating residences, restaurants or locations for events, others reduced to ruins, the castles dot the valley. From Levico you can also quickly reach real jewels such as the Buonconsiglio Castle in Trento, Castel Beseno near Rovereto and Castel Thun in Val di Non, whose visit is worth the short journey.

The fort

Starting from the late nineteenth century, the Valsugana reveals its strategic importance as it is possible to access the city of Trento from Veneto in Italian hands. The Forte delle Benne, reachable from Levico with a short and panoramic walk, and the Forte di Tenna, were precisely part of the «Fortress of Trento».

The area of the Altipiani was instead fortified on the eve of the Great War with a continuous line of defensive structures (Pizzo, Cima Verle, Luserna, Cherle, Sommo Alto, Belvedere), protagonists of fierce fighting since the first days of the war of 1915, of which still bear the wounds. Today the best preserved Forte Belvedere houses a museum, while from the Forte del Pizzo you can enjoy a breathtaking view of Levico, Caldonazzo and the lakes.

In Valsugana to discover history

Most of the fortifications are today in elevated and panoramic positions, reachable with short walks or with trekking or mountain bike paths that allow a slow and careful discovery of the territory, among orchards, woods and rocks.

Little escape I felt more at home than in a hotel, Mrs. Anna was extremely kind and helpful... the breakfast was excellent and plentiful, the rooms were a little corner of paradise to definitely repeat... they didn't skimp on explanations and information 👍

The charm of time The charm of time in a historic, well-preserved hotel, where you can perceive the passion of the owner, Mrs. Anna, who welcomed us with availability and courtesy. Tidy, quiet, spotlessly clean rooms and all recently renovated. Excellent breakfast with dining room overlooking Lake Levico. Small Spa with swimming pool and sauna, tidy and comfortable, exclusive entrance with reservation. On the fifth floor, a panoramic terrace and massage center where 50 minutes of relaxation fly by under the expert hands of Sonia. What can I say, highly recommended.

Winter stay Short stay for the Christmas markets. A beautiful, well-maintained old building, only here and there the carpet shows signs of age. The location is good but it doesn't have private parking and you have to hope to find something nearby (I've always managed to). Comfortable and warm room, the cleanliness of the bathroom was not impeccable. The owner is friendly (I presume) but perhaps a little cold in her manner, her collaborator at the reception is very kind and nice. Small but nice wellness centre, booking is therefore more than understandable but perhaps it would be better with one hour shifts instead of two and lower costs. Breakfast good in quality and quantity.

Cheap and clean hotel, recommended! Central location and close to the spa. With a few steps you can reach the main points of Levico. Parking in October was not a problem and we parked in front of the hotel. Period hotel in decorations but renovated in the main parts so everything is clean and pleasant. Functional and decorous room with large bathroom. The breakfast was sufficient. The whole standard is there... perhaps the standard could be raised with a few more typical desserts, some cream desserts instead of the cold cream to garnish on the side, certainly an additional coffee machine would eliminate annoying queues in the morning and above all adding speck to the savory selection would be a gem that many hotels already prepare in Trentino. The small swimming pool with which the hotel is equipped is subject to a fee and must be booked (cost €20), the water is a little cold, the cervical waterfall does not work, there are also 4 other hydromassage stations in operation; in my opinion it could be an added value as it is, however the cost hinders use and those who use it once are unlikely to return. In the season in which the accommodation was used the prices were very low and convenient so for me it was a good stay and I recommend it.

Hotel Eden Levico Terme Albergo in stile con camere ampie e molto pulito. Ottima e abbondante colazione con dolce e salato. Unica pecca: un’unica macchinetta per fare caffè e cappuccini. Zona comoda per andare a fare vari giri dei dintorni è splendido il paesino di Levico Terme. ordinato e pulito

hotel al lago Hotel in centro a Levico in palazzo del primo novecento dove si respira un atmosfera quasi da Belle Epoque, ma con servizi moderni. Comodo per il centro, a pochi passi, e al lago a 10 minuti di passeggiata. Gentile e professionale lo staff. Unica pecca la cassaforte non funzionante nella mia camera.
