We have just spent a fabulous week at Belle Etoile. If you are looking for modern luxury then it is not for you. I believe renovations are on-going though. We were treated like special guests from start to finish by the very professional staff who take pride in their work. Marco is an excellent chef, particularly the homemade pasta and desserts. Breakfast is beautifully laid out with usual continental choices in addition to different pasties, breads, option to boil eggs as you like or bacon and fried eggs made fresh to order. From 3.30pm Quentin will serve you a hot drink from the bar to accompany one of Marco’s cakes - the thick hot chocolate with whipped cream is delicious.|Evening meal is a choice of 3 ‘starters’ followed by a set main meal. The first and second courses are both similar large sizes. Typically the first course is either soup, a pasta dish, and a third option. The main meal is usually a meat with vegetables depending on the theme. Dessert is a choice of two homemade Italian desserts such as ice cream (pistachio was incredible) or a pudding or cheese and crackers. If you have fussy eaters in your party then they may not appreciate the set menu, but I really liked the freshly cooked limited menu (although I did skip the Veal main dish one night as it’s not to my liking and I wish I had asked for the steak main to be medium or well cooked as it came out cooked rare as default). Quentin in the bar makes fabulous cocktails to order and is clearly passionate about them as he spent the last few nights scribbling away in his book designing the cocktail menu for next season in the planned refurbished bar. The place is spotlessly clean and the beds are comfortable and lots of hot water for baths/showers. A bonus is the shutters in addition to the curtains which make the bedrooms very dark and quiet. The hotel is in the town with the ski hire shop opposite and the bus stop around 50m away with a few minutes ride to main gondola lift ‘Jandri’. The boot room is very small but nicely heated so everything dries out. There is a spa area - the hot tub wasn’t in use when we were there but we did have a lovely time in the sauna which you can book for a private slot.|Overall this is a gem of a hotel - not fancy, but guests are treated like visiting royalty by a lovely bunch of people. Special thanks to Alicia, Brigid, Maximilian (classiest waiter I’ve ever come across), Jonny, Quentin and Marco.

Excellent service throughout, the staff are wonderfully helpful and cheery in this family run hotel. The food throughout the week was fantastic with a bespoke Italian flavour. A short walk to the slopes makes first lift ever more efficient. Would absolutely return.

Highly reccomend as a wonderful place to stay! Staff were very friendly and helpful. The food here is delicious. Very high quality varied ingredients and the staff as extremely accommodating for their guests. Large portion sizes for dinner and lovely pastries and freshly cooked eggs and bacon in the morning.
The room was spacious, bathroom recently refurbished and clean. The hotel is very near the slopes so perfect for skiing holidays. There are little tables you can sit at in reception with a free hot drink and cake each day including a very nice hot chocolate. The hot tub was broken during our stay but we still had a wonderful time. The only suggestion I would have is bigger tables for drinks in the evenings after dinner to stay in the hotel for larger groups would be nice.
