What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Great location with incredible views of the mountains from our balcony. We stayed in the junior suite which was spacious and comfortable, while also being charming and cosy. The team are very friendly and go above and beyond to offer a great service. Our stay was over the new year period, and we particularly enjoyed the firework display on new years eve. Recommend the food in the restaurant - everything we tried was delicious.”
“The moments spent in this place were pure pleasure. The food was delicious, the rooms were very clean. People who work there are THE BEST! My birthday was a firecracker!!! It's a pity that I can't express in words what I feel after my stay here. You are wonderful, I will miss you. Love, Amelia from Poland”
“We stayed at the hotel for 5 days for a skiing trip in the Livigno area. The hotel is well situated, approximately 30 minutes by car from the Mottolino lift, with no requirement to cross the very busy Livigno city center to reach the lift. The hotel rooms were well maintained and clean. What made our stay most enjoyable was the super-friendly personnel and the hotel kitchen staff that went the extra mile to ensure our daughter could safely eat gluten free during our stay. Thank you for your efforts!”
“Great hotel, wonderful staff and the half board food was brilliant. Both of our children are celiac and were catered for perfectly. Made our holiday.”
“We did not stay in their hotel but went for a dinner. The waitress was super friendly and so thoughtful of any detail. The food was authentic, delicious and nicely presented as well. We will definitely come back when we are in this area!”
