This was a one night stop, but what a fabulous place. We enjoyed the natural spa facilities. The restaurant food was excellent with a really friendly waiter who went through the italian menu with us. Would love to go back again. Its our 2nd time in Bormeo because we went 2 years ago to drive the Stelvio pass, we could only do one side though this time because of the snow which came early this year!

This was my second visit to Bagni Vecchi which is a beautiful old hotel built high in the rocky cliffs on the road to Passo Stelvio. We were awakened at 5AM this morning by a fire alarm and after several minutes of trying to decide what to do, headed out in our robes through a maze of doors and corridors to the outside and then had to find our way on a dark path around to the front reception area. There is no night staffing at this hotel. If you have a medical emergency or a fire at Bagni Vecchi you must fend for yourself. We found that only 10 people managed to hear the alarm and get themselves outside and we spent 30 minutes in the cold waiting for someone to come or to advise us of the severity of the problem. Finally the manager from the sister hotel, Bagni Nuovi, 10 minutes away down the mountain and who lives in Bormio arrived. Both I and another guest called on our cellphones to tell them there was an emergency at the hotel. When the manager arrived, we were told someone must have been smoking in their room and he would stay to make sure we felt safe. This is rated a 4 star hotel and yet the guests are left alone during the night to fend for themselves in case of fire (the hotel is wooden and remote) or medical emergencies. It is a lovely spa hotel with so much going for it but I would hesitate to stay there again because of their irresponsible concern for their guests' well-being. When we checked out the next morning after a sleepless night, we were offered a bottle of body lotion and told we could write to the owner. Not good enough. It could have been a real disaster if it was a real fire because most of the hotel occupants slept through it.

I don't want to say too much, for fear that this magical dream of a spa hotel will become too popular if word gets out. The rooms are beautiful and immaculate. The view....what can one say. The spa is unforgettable. The restaurant is very good, while not amazing (the cheese, however, was delicious, as was breakfast). The service and amenities are absolutely the best. I would love nothing more than to be sitting in the lavender sauna right now....

Our group has luved the ambiance, service ans overall experience at this hotel-spa-resort. The best treatment you can induldge yourself with after a day of active sport.
We will be back.
