Pros +
- The staff was welcoming, eager to help and knowledgeable about the area we stayed. The rooms were plush and the scenery was out of this world.
- Great small hotel; wonderful people; wine tasting very good and very infromative about the Valtellina wine area. Views over the valley are stunning
- was a little difficult to get there, but the view is so good and the employees were so lovely.
Cons -
- We only spent one evening. It would have been great to have an entire weekend.
- Everything was practically perfect! But, if I need to find anything, I'd love to have a Hammam in the spa, but I reckon this might be a bit complex :)
- We unfortunately had a room on the road side and the road noise even with the windows closed was quite a lot. Even until the early hours of the morning, the cars used the road as a racing track.There were no tea or coffee making facility in the roomWhen I asked for a cup of tea on the Saturday evening, they even charged for that.I think the wine tasting experience with the Sommelier was very expensive for what we got.The outdoor jacuzzi was free, but if you wanted to use the indoor facilities you had to pay an additional fee too, which I have not had at other facilities charging similar nightly rates.

Very well organized hotelPolite and friendly employeesPrivate wellness and Spa (80°C Sauna)Excellent experience by Wine tasting from regional winesDelicious breakfastSufficient parking places in front of the hotel
This hotel provided us with an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond even to fulfill a last-minute request. Their assistance with securing New Year's Eve dinner reservations was invaluable, taking all the stress out of our holiday planning. The spa is cozy, and its private nature creates a truly relaxing and intimate atmosphere. The hotel's location was perfect for exploring the beautiful Valmalenco region. We enjoyed several scenic hikes driving not more than 25 minutes.A special highlight was the wine tasting with Armando – His expertise and passion for wine made it a delightful experience.Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations with its exceptional service, cozy amenities, and attention to detail. We can't wait to return!

Fantastic views, friendly staff, great breakfast. Lots of wineries close by. An excellent choice.
The breakfast was very good. The location was good and the views were lovely if you had a room on the side overlooking the valley. The views from the breakfast room and outside seating area was amasing, it is a beautiful area.

Very, very, very nice people, perfect breakfast with stunning view. All Great.
Modern and clean, with perfect air conditioning and amenities.
Everything was perfect
Beautiful hotel with phenomenal views, super friendly staff, delicious breakfast, comfortable beds, and a great choice of wines to try to get to know the region. Would absolutely recommend, especially for couples.
More about listing and expectation management: the jacuzzi is not a hot tub (so it’s only operating in the summer); spa usage is not included in the price of the room and is 25 eur per person for 2 hours.
Very nice place to stay, wished we stayed there longer not only 1 night. The view was amazing and you’re in the heart of wine country. Clean facility, nice breakfast set up. Nice lobby with Amazing Views.
Absolutely beautiful location in a less touristy part of Italy interesting restaurant options nearby with different kinds of cuisine great breakfast really supportive staff
All great
Super hosts, views from the terrace, rooms comfortable. If you love wine this is the place to come. Our second visit here. The breakfast is the BEST EVER!!!
Loved our stay here. Such a stunning setting, our room had such wonderful views. We had a wine tasting with the owner, which was so interesting, informative and of course delicious. We dined at the restaurant next door for dinner which was also excellent. Such a comfortable room with everything you needed. The breakfast was brilliant, so much choice and fresh eggs, fresh orange juice, fresh fruit. Perfect. We wish we could have stayed longer..
Wonderful setting on a hillside with amazing views day and night. Lovely authentic local restaurant next door sharing the same views. Fabulous wine selection. Rooms are lovely and quirky, plus very comfortable. Good breakfast
Nothing - perfect
The breakfast was one of the best I have ever seen. It is a small hotel with only a few rooms but everything was beyond expectation. Breakfast was great. Every piece of food was of great quality. Most items are organic. The view was spectacular. It is in a vineyard.
Everything was great.
I stayed 3 nights in July 2023. The personnel was extremely kind, helpful, friendly. The quality of everything is exceptional: the comfort of the room, the comfort of the common resting area, the terrace, the breakfast, the coffee, the wine, the cheese, the fantastic view on the valley. This family loves to run the hotel and to accommodate travellers. They love their job, they love their region and like to tell you what makes this region special. I loved to stay there and was sad to leave. I will come back, that's for sure! And beside the hotel there is the wonderful restaurant Il Poggio with an excellent cuisine and served by a lovely staff. All this made my stay wonderful, relaxing and invigorating.
The hotel exceeded our expectations in almost every way. Fantastic rooms, great staff and the restaurant next door was exceptional. Would have loved to have stayed longer.
The parking is to the front of the hotel, adjacent the main road. I'm quite precious about my car, so I would have preferred the parking to be away from the road. Saying that, there were no issues.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Easy parking at the door. Amazing views.
beautiful views. great breakfast. comfortable beds. Hotel was great all around
