Our short ski trip in Monte Cimone was fantastic, and this was due to a large extent to the excellent accommodation that we had at Casa Benassi. First of all, our request to have a room with a mountain view (expressed via email and on the telephone) was met without hesitation - once we arrived there, Alberto kindly showed us all rooms that were available and gave us the option to select any one of them. The B&B itself is decorated classicaly and in very good taste (as is most of the time the case with Italian houses), even though all the modern facilities that make life easier were present in the room and in the common area, including an excellent (but intimidating to use) coffee machine, which Alberto showed us how to use. The en-suite bathroom was spotless and very modern. My favourite thing about the room were the double set of windows (overlooking two sides of the building) and the mutiple lighting sources that were fitted in the room, which created a warm, cozy atmosphere that you don't normally expect to have in a (non-luxury) hotel room. Breakfast was provided 200m down the street at the family-owned Cafe Molinari, where we were served a very nice breakfast every morning by Alberto and his parents. Overall, a truly enjoyable place to stay on our holiday, which we will most definitely be coming back to the next time we are in the region.
