All of the rooms were redesigned and refurbished during the Covid period 2020/21, so any comments about the rooms in reviews predating this are irrelevant. Our room was very nice with comfortable beds, plenty of storage space, artfully concealed lighting, and one of the best showers I have ever used. All of our group (10 people across 4 rooms) commented how good the showers were. The showers have frosted glass doors that open into the room separately from the toilet. This is convenient as both facilities can be used simultaneously, but if you are very modest and don’t want your companion(s) to see the outline of your body in the shower, this is not the place for you. The owner Dimitri and all of the staff were very friendly and helpful. He is the 4th generation of his family to own the hotel so it is very much in the blood. Every night they serve a full six course meal (yes, you read that right: antipasti, salad buffet, soup, pasta, main and dessert). The menu is fixed (different each night) but adaptable; they were very careful to make me gluten-free alternatives, even going so far as to make their own gluten-free ravioli. We all commented on how much food we were eating, but somehow always managed to clear all the plates, which is testament to both the quality and the fact that we were skiing 25 runs / 40 miles a day burning calories. They also recommend different wines each night, that we were always happy with. For breakfast there is a wide selection of bread, cakes and pastries, plus fruit, yoghurt, cereals and seeds / nuts, dried meats and cheese. In the evening there is a cosy pub / bar in the basement with a variety of spaces that we used to play cards and drink much beer and grappa. As far as skiing goes, it is 5 minutes walk from the ski locker room (with heated rails for your boots) to a big new (2014) cable car that takes you to the top of Belvedere and from there it is one run to the Sella Ronda. There is a bubble to Ciampac in the other direction for more alpine-style scenery. Overall you have easy access to the full 450-lift Dolomiti Superski area, which is more than enough territory to satisfy anyone. All of this was at what we thought was a very reasonable price, certainly compared to anywhere we have been in France and even the more fashionable places in Italy.
