Pangsapuri di Breuil-Cervinia

A very disappointing trip. We paid just short of a fortune for the trip and the four rooms but it was not worth the money for many reasons - the facilities, the staff were rude (apart from a lovely man called Fabio), the food, the service, the awful hotel set up. A terrible part was once past 7pm they charge 10 euros per person to take people into town which is a 2 minute max journey down a very steep dangerous hill to walk with no pavement! They will come back on this message and no doubt say 'yes, but it is complimentary service during the day'.. yes, but that is the bare minimum for the price people pay. It is an additional 15 euros if you'd like anything delivered to the room - which is astonishing and something I have never ever seen in a hotel around the world. A request for milk to be delivered for a cup of tea nearly cost me 20 euros with the additional charge. The spa - be warned again, you only get 1 hour in the spa a day per person. Therefore, if you are not a big skier you will be stung by this. The receptionist's are so rude. On arrival you are requested to put down a card for the deposit which is completely normal. On day 2 of our trip we requested to swap cards and the first one be refunded. 6 working days later, we are still waiting on the first card to be refunded - they completely ignore me and batted me off when I said we were still waiting. I have sent a strongly worded email now back in the UK but no response. They are currently holding £3,732.28 worth of deposits from us - even though they said the money should 100% be back with us by Monday 6th January - it is now Wednesday 8th January. One of our party broke their leg on NYE, after calling and calling the hotel to come collect us from town, they never sent someone down and left us stranded to find a way back up the hill. The only saving grace for this trip was a driver called Fabio who gave the injured party member his number and took him where needed, whenever he needed - a life saver. There is a lot more I could comment on but I hope that gives an honest flavour for the hotel, staff and service.

We arrived yesterday morning and after reading the reviews on trip advisor I was more than a little worried about what I would find. So far it is fantastic, the room is clean comfortable and modern, a fabulous view of the slopes from our balcony, the food is excellent and plentiful, so much choice… found some good wine to have last night with dinner. The staff are very friendly and helpful, I had the pool and spa area all to myself this morning while the skiers in our group went up the mountain. The club sandwich in the bar makes an excellent lunch option if you don’t want to venture down into town. I will edit my review as the week progresses but what a fantastic start…
