Disliked: Room comfort
Great location, good food but tired decor.
The Olympic Village is in an excellent position for the lifts at the bottom of the Pistes of Sestriere. It’s a fairly large hotel with a strange layout and we stayed in F block so had the easier walk onto the slopes.
The food was excellent and plentiful, breakfast offered a variety of pastries, cereals and a selection of eggs, sausages, cold meats and cheese. Coffee was excellent.
Dinner had a selection of everything you’d expect and some fantastic deserts. Alcohol was extra and you had the option of buying wine and beer in the restaurant or bringing your own.
Our apartment was spacious for 2 and had a kitchenette, sofa bed and table. Oddly there were nothing in the kitchen by way of utensils, glasses or pans. It did have a balcony which offered great views of the mountains.
The bed was on the firm to very firm side and the bedroom had a window onto the public hallway (high up and with a curtain so no privacy issues) which let in light every time someone walked past, not ideal. The pillows were thin and we had to ask for extra’s.
Overall it was reasonable value but feels tired and ill maintained (our shower was missing a panel, which although reported at the start of the stay was never fixed). It’s in a great location and if you’re skiing all day offers what you need.
