I have stayed at the Baita dei Pini over 5 times now on trips to lovely Bormio, the most recently in mid February 2011.
Bormio is a great destination, with plentiful skiing options and a bustling town with many activities.
The baita dei pini, with its friendly staff, charming traditional decor and absolutely incredible food is the only place I would stay.
It has everything you'd expect from a top mountain style hotel - and a restaurant that is out of this world. The chef, originally from Piemonte, creates traditional Italian dishes with superb ingredients and a modern touch. I travel regularly through Italy, most of the time in search of a top meal - and this is certainly very close to the top of my list.
Highly highly recommended - both the destination and the hotel.
