    Very nice, friendly hotel with attentive staff. it's an authentic Alpine hotel in a working area. Breakfast was lovely with an array of tasty jams and good bread. I have to add that I had a phenomenal lunch with a fantastic red wine.

    Friendly, helpful staff, beautiful view out of the window. Excellent breakfast and really good evening meals too. There is also a nice terrace to enjoy a drink in the evening sunshine.

    Service in the restaurant was very slow, especially on our second evening there but the staff were very apologetic about this.

    Property response:

    Hi, we thank you for your sympatic message. We are sorry that you had to wait for the diner and thank you for your patience. Hope to see you again soon, Best regards

    We really liked the reception we received. we got early access to our room, which allowed us to go out and enjoy our skiing. We also were able to leave our luggage on the day of departure, which again allowed another day's skiing. The staff were smart and caring and this high standard was continued by all the staff who helped look after us. The room was very nice and comfortable and more than adequate for our needs. Unfortunately it wasn't one of those with a balcony and a view over the valley. We thought all the meals we had were outstanding. It was all superbly cooked with lovely, fresh ingredients all of which was extremely tasty and very good value. My wife is vegetarian and one other main vegetarian dish on the menu would have been welcome.

    It's only a tiny thing, but there could have been more attention to the teas and coffees etc in the room. On one day they weren't replaced.

    Room was excellent, friendly staff, food great with excellent selection, and reasonably priced. I especially loved the fact as I was staying on my own as I was on business, that they did a fondue for one person, which you never really see anywhere else.

    The only thing I could fault, and it is a very minor thing, was the morning breakfast coffee wasn't great.

    Staff were friendly, the shared areas such as bar, lounge and restaurant and terrace were all very nice. The food was great too. Room was as expected, small but functional for the 1 night. The town is lovely and easy to walk from the hotel.

    The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Of particular note, Robin, in the restaurant, and the young blond woman at reception, were charming, helpful and informative. The food was excellent. The village location was beautiful, just a bit isolated.

    No air-con, but that was minor issue.

    Hello Theresea, Thank you for your comment which encourages us, thank you for the members of the team. I hope climate change won't force us to install air conditioning.... ;) Best regards, Sabrina.

    Very comfortable hotel with relaxing public areas. Good setting, as you come down from the mountains. Situated on the edge of the village, so there was the opportunity to eat in the restaurant or try a local hostelry.

    Lack of vegetarian items on the menu.

    Hello Cathy, Your comment is very nice and encouraging at the start of the summer season. Regarding the diversity of dishes, we adapt as well as possible to different diets and can always improve! The whole Faranchin team thanks you and says see you soon
