"Pros: Location and views are fantastic. Ski back to across the road from the hotel. Food was much better than expected. They cook very well, unexpectedly refined, even though the portions are a tad small (the parmigiana in particular). Excellent breakfast and the views from the restaurant are stunning. The staff is lovely and very helpful. Joaquim reparked our car while we were away and booked a fondue for us at the Alpina restaurant which is oldish but charming. Good practical ski-room Cons: small details, that did not change our overall excellent opinion of the Besso: our room 24 was not very big. Bed was big enough and comfortable but the pillows are HUGE!! which didn't suit us. The one thing they must address is the lighting in the ground floor restaurant. It is just awfully bright, in your face, and very annoying. You'd hope for candles and smooth indirect light, and unfortunately you feel like wearing a cap to block the glare. It really is a shame because this would radically transform the experience, and elegantly pair with the food. Please do something!!" ~Olivier
