Ideally located in Sauze's historic centre a couple of minutes from the lifts, the rustic hotel retains its character and charm with original wood and stone throughout. Available on a half board basis, you can enjoy a classic continental breakfast each morning and venture out to a range of restaurants the hotel works with.

Rustic hotel

The warm and cosy Chalet Faure has a fantastic location in the historic centre of Sauze. Recently restored, the exposed stone and wood throughout give the property charm and character, creating a homely environment. Each bedroom is furnished in a traditional alpine style, and with rooms sleeping up to four, this is an excellent choice for families heading to Italy this winter.

Choice of restaurants

Enjoy an aperitivo before dinner at the il Lampione bar, its just below the hotel so you don't need to worry about venturing too far for a drink. There is over 250 different wines to choose from and you can often arrange a wine tasting with the team - its the perfect way to sample some of the fabulous wines from the Piemonte region (payable locally). The outdoor terrace is the perfect spot to soak up a bit of winter sun with an aperol spritz.

Each evening you can choose between three restaurants to dine in, giving you an opportunity to taste a variety of different cuisines. Head downstairs to il Lapione, where you can enjoy a glass of wine (payable locally) with the dish of the day, or head to the nearby Farola serving tasty tapas style dishes. Venture into the centre and enjoy traditional dishes from the Piemonte region at Restaurant Assietta. If you would like to dine in one of these sister restaurants, please let reception know beforehand and they will happily book you a table.
