After visiting Sestriere and inpaticularly the "Hotel Du Col" in March 2008 all I can say is that we had a great time.

I'll start with the Hotel. Great location, you really couldn't get closer to the slopes.

This was an excellent hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast and dinner were of a buffet style with an excellent selection. The packed lunch was very simple and not exactly filling, although i was not expecting any lunch at all. Some... read more

Du Col is not a bad Hotel, a bit soulless, no log fires or even a fireplace. Food is fine; buffet style at dinner is a bit like being in the school dinner queue.

We visited the hotel over the New Year of 2008. I went with two teenage boys who like to ski from morning to night and then crash out exhausted. My wife did not ski but there was plenty to do in the resort to keep her amused. I think the Hotel is a... read more

This was our second visit to Sestriere and to the Hotel du Col. The hotel, I would agree, is not a 4 star hotel, more a 3.



The first time we went, the bar area had sofas in it which created a more comfortable lounge... read more

First off the hotel. It was advertised as being a 4 star, but to be honest a 3 would have been more accurate. Having said that, for what we paid, we certainly aren't complaining as we felt we... read more

Excellent hotel, fantastically close to the Piste. Lovely buffet breakfast, packed lunch very tasty - what a great idea, just borrow a knife from the breakfast table to spread butter on the roll! Give it back at tea time.

I generally agree with the previous reviews although we did not avail ourselves of the packed lunches or the bar service.

We found the staff friendly and found no shortage of hot water.
