First impressions were disappointed, the room was pretty basic with 2 single beds pushed together, not at all like the photos on the website. Having said that the bathroom was good and there was plenty of storage room. Luckily we were on the top floor as the rooms had wooded floors so would think it would be noisy for those below. Although initially we were disappointed the hotel kind of grew on us and became quite endearing, it was like it was old but trying very hard to keep up with the times. The bar was quiet but the 2 barmen who served us while we were there were great, very chatty and friendly, reception and the waiters were also very good. We were half board and the food was very good, a lot of variety so something for everyone. There was a ski locker room which you had to use which was fine and also a small spa area containing a hot tub (the most violent I have been in I think - but good), a sauna and steam room and a couple of showers. You could also book treatments if you wanted. The town itself was on the whole quiet we had trouble finding restaurants or bars, restaurants were not really a problem as we were half board and we tended to stick to Bar Stube for evening and after ski drinks staff here were lovely. Mostly Italians at the resort who loved parading around in fur coats. The hotel was well situation for the Cinque Laghi lift about 3 minute walk. The ski area was great and would suit beginners and early intermediates very well blues and reds were on the easier side of the grades but it was still great fun as I don't like scaring myself stupid all the time. There were some blacks as well, I did find although the pistes were well groomed they did get churned up badly quite early in the day on the reds due to the volume of skiers, I thought it was quite busy but am more used to Canada and others said it was not that busy compared to other resorts in Europe. There was also some good off piste between the Groste and Spinale area. The scenery was spectacular and took your breath away. You can also ski to nearby Folgarida and Marilleva which also have some good slopes, there were also some lovely on mountain restaurants where you could sit outside which as is the norm in europe played 80's music much to our amusement. There were a few lift queues but nothing to time consuming and it was quite funny as it always ended up in a bit of bun fight as the locals jostled to get to the front first, we became quite good at pushing in (not the English way) by the end of the holiday. Apres was quite a lively affair for the locals, with loud cheesey music and dancing on tables, many of the locals seem to stop for lunch and then not bother skiing after that. Much to my amazement I found myself falling in love with this resort and would probably return and probably stay in the Savoia Palace again something I would not have said at the start of the holiday.
