Hotel Pare

Such a wonderful welcome. Helpful and friendly. Super room overlooking the valley with a balcony. Spacious, with plenty of storage and a massive bed. Lovely bathrobes and slippers. Yes, a bit dated but clean. Good self service breakfast with lots of choice. Ski room warm and easy access to the slopes, simply next door to the lift. Good parking at the rear.

Good: Location - right at the bottom of a (black) slope just a few meters from the ski lift and ski pass purchase point. Shuttle bus stops in front of the hotel. Great ski rental/service shop. Pretty good size pool (not heated). Bathrobes. O.K. service. Finger food served before dinner in the bar area to go with themed (different every evening) before-dinner drinks. Good WiFi. Room with balcony and view of Livigno. Not so good: Very dated rooms and bathrooms. Could not open the window just a little - had open the door to the balcony or nothing. Bad: Food. Breakfast: Juice - terrible, watery, especially if your'e not early. Scrambled eggs - watery. Jams - hard to squeeze out of containers, frequently so low that it was impossible to squeeze any. Coffee - all bad unless you order cappuccino. Not enough fresh fruit. Dinner: not quite soup kitchen style, but really not good. Elevator very small and SLOW!

The rooms are very dated and in desperate need of of decorating. Evening Meals have to be ordered in the morning and as a vegetarian I went Hungry. Every day I wrote on the menu That I was a vegetarian and ate No Fish or Eggs and they made me a TUNA SALAD Most evenings I had to make do with the salad Bar.. Not good when you have been skiing all day. One night they presented my Evening meal Of reheated chips from lunch and Tinned Vegetables. As someone from an Italian Back ground I am utterly DISGUSTED with the food this chef sent out to me considering an abundance of Italian food is naturally Vegetarian. A quick pasta dish isn't difficult to make....... I won't be returning here again. The rest of my party of 10 were utterly Shocked at my treatment and vowel no to return either The location of the Hotel is good pretty but we had to take a bus every day to the slopes
