Hotel Sciatori

The hotel's facilities were pretty nice, the sauna's etc. The employees didn't tell us anything about the hotel when arriving, not even the time of the breakfast or the fact that we'd have to let the staff know in advance if we wanted to dine at the hotel at night. We also didn't receive coupons for the skipasses from the hotel, as some other people did. Poor service, I'd say!

The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The evening meals were very generous - with plenty of choice. The location of the hotel - at the bottom of a steep hill, with a sharp bend - meant snow chains were vital in January. Fresh snow and difficult driving conditions led to our checking out of the Sciatori a day early, to ensure we could get back to the airport in Turin in time, as we had an early flight and could not afford to lose the time in fitting and removing the chains. As per the Sciatori's stated policy, we had to pay for the extra night - but the manager did deduct 25 Euros from the cost of our restaurant bill as a goodwill gesture. If you are used to driving in snow, and happy fitting snow chains, this hotel is fine - otherwise I would recommend staying in nearby Cesana.
