 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
I've tried a couple of places but they're fully booked for next Feb half term which makes me think the Tour Ops have got their claws into them. Looking for a decent 3 star hotel with good food.

I've stayed in the Gran Baita http://www.granbaitasauze.it/. Clean, unfussy and the food wasn't bad. It's tucked out of the way so not affected by party central and still only a 10 minute walk uphill in ski boots to the Clotes lift; just right for loosening the muscles before a day's skiing

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

We use the La Torre and can't recommend enough. However, I haven't checked availability so no idea if they have space.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Holiday Debili (sister hotel to the Savoia Debili) - on the main road a couple minutes walk to Clotes slopes. Décor is a bit dated and opposite Paddy Mc Gintys bar, but that didn't bother me....

Sauze is such an easy resort to self cater. Plenty of shops, with plenty of english speakers if your Italian isn't that strong! I've spent a number of years travelling there with my family and we've never had any trouble getting breakfast and dinner on the table! I know it takes your topic a bit sideways, but keep it in mind!
The resort is not too expensive on the restaurant front either.

If you're struggling, down in Jouvencaux there is a fantastic B&B called Chalet Chez Nous (google it to see Trip Advisor etc) which we stay in every year. It's 10 yards away from a decent cheap pizzeria and Andrea the owner will run you up to Sauze where there are loads of restaurants any evening you want. Obv not quite what you are looking for but if you're struggling the main part of town then this could be a brilliant alternative.

@Curzonian, You forgot to mention that Chez Nous is only a 5 minute walk, on the flat, to the Jouvanceaux chair.

@deerman, good point - and that, should you need them, Andrea, his brother and his father are all ski instructors...
(does this now look like we're an odd advertising double act)

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

We booked Holiday Debili in the end Because we're a large group (15) self catering is always hard to find.

I'm pretty sure it was Andreas father who took my brother under his wing for a week about 10 years ago. Little git is a beautiful skiier as a result!!
Lovely family though!!
