The homely Hotel Banchetta has been family-run since 1930s and they've created a lovely, warm and cosy hotel. It's in the centre of Borgata, a small village four kilometres from the Sestriere - perfect if you're looking for a more relaxed ski holiday.

Quiet location

The best thing about the hotels location in Borgata is that you won't have to queue to get onto the lifts in the morning. Beat the crowds and be one of the first on the mountain. The nearest lift is just 300 meters away and connects you to the wider ski area, meaning you can get a jump start on those staying in central Sestriere. Best of all, you can ski right back to the hotel. 

Food and drink

The staff here give a warm and friendly service, especially at meal times. Breakfast is buffet style, which means there's no waiting about if you're keen to get explore the Milky Way. The tasty four-course evening meal often including dishes from the Piedomonte region will help build your energy levels back up and don't forget to visit the bar. It's a great place to relax and chat to other guests about your day on the mountain - be sure to try a glass of wines from the region, they are some of Italy's best. If you're lucky enough to have good weather, you can sit out on the terrace and soak up the sunshine.
