A warm farewell phrase at check-out that will be genuinely appreciated by Italian hoteliers, especially at family-run establishments.
'Ospitalità' (hospitality) is a culturally charged word in Italy — Italians take great pride in their hospitality traditions. 'È stato' is the passato prossimo of 'essere' used for a completed period. 'Meraviglioso' (wonderful/marvellous) is a stronger word than 'bello'.
Torneremo sicuramente.
We will definitely come back.
