Initially had hoped for Cervinia but so pleased to have found space in this lovely hotel. Just a couple of kilometres down the valley from Valtournenche, a lovely ski resort... read more that links nicely to Cervinia. The hotel was fantastic, Marco and his parents are brilliant...More

  The hotel is small, has some 10 rooms. Located by the local road, no extreme slopes to reach it. Hosts are very pleasant and helpful persons. Rooms are clean, average... read more size, bathrooms (shower) quite small. Free WiFi and parking. Owners offer free mini-bus service to Valtournenche ski-lifts (~2,5 km), two rides in the morning and two in the afternoon. We didn't use it, because it was more convenient to use rented car. The food is good and very plentiful, especially dinner. For the dinner there is a choice from two first, two second courses and two options of dessert plus buffet of salads and cheese. The wine is good and inexpensive, 7,5-10 eur/0,7 ltr. Tap water is tasty and free. There is almost nothing to do around the hotel in the evenings. Valtournenche itself is 2 kms away, reachable only by car, no chance to walk, steep road with no pavement. The only bar is on the ground floor of the hotel, try Caffè alla valdostana prepared by the owner, great. Lots of various local good and inexpensive grappas. Take a book, there are only Italian and couple of French channels on TV.

  High value for money  - I stayed at the hotel for 5 nights for a skiing holiday. While the hotel is situated at about 3 km from the lift, the value for the money highly... read more compensates for that distance. The family owned hotel is managed by the entire family. Hospitality and service are core values. Breakfast and dinner are fine. Do not expect luxury or high cuisine, but the traditional family cuisine is very tasty and honest. Rooms provide all the necessary features.
I enjoyed every single day!
