The Hotel Portavescovo was a friendly, comfortable and clean hotel with all the facilities you could want after a day on the slopes, Swimming Pool, Sauna, Steam Room and Bar. Friendly staff who did all they could, language permitting, to help and fantastic tasty choice of food in the Restaurant, both for breakfast and dinner (even catering for a special diet for a member in our group).

The hotel was a short walk from the slopes and lifts, and snow permitting you were able to ski to the back door (car park). All rooms had balconies, we were lucky to have one with a view and television with a few English speaking channels (when you have children this is always a positive). For the computer technos wifi was available in the lounge area. There was a bar for the apres ski, a quiet lounge area in reception, and a family area with live music, bar and pool table, in the basement you could also play table tennis. If you were tired enough after a day on the slope there was a fully equipped Gym too!!

Our room was extremely comfortable, with lots of storage, a digital safe for your passports and a fully equipped ensuite, including hairdryer. Our childrens bedroom was pretty much the safe, with rather a quirky bathroom with a sloping roof (not one for the taller peops). With maids coming in every day to make the beds and bring fresh towels, it was perfect.

Unfortunately the one downer for our holiday was the rest of our group were booked in to the annexe where the rooms were the same size but darker and the ensuites not as up to date. We were not sure if this because they were in the middle of a revamp of this area or whether they were privately owned and rented out to the hotel? It was just a bit unfortunate as when paying the same price for the holiday you would expect the same standard of room.

That aside great holiday, excellent base for the Sella Ronda skiing, thoroughly recommend it to everyone.
