Hotel La Noria

The homemade food was superb, especially the best pizza we’ve ever had. Our cozy room was clean, and the staff were friendly, smiling, and did their best to meet every request. We spent a week here and had an amazing time. If we ski in this area again, this will definitely be our first choice.

The owner and his son would take us by minibus to the ski lift whenever we needed, even though it was only a five-minute walk away. The family business has excellent service, and our renovated room was very clean, with daily housekeeping. Dinner meant two delicious homemade courses, with six choices to pick from, then a surprise dessert. Breakfast was a buffet. The lady serving all the meals was helpful and friendly. We had a very pleasant stay and absolutely recommend the hotel.

The blonde waitress was lovely, and she’s the only reason I’m giving an extra star. Still, I wouldn’t go back. The place felt very old-fashioned, the food was nothing special, and my spaghetti seemed to be about 70% pasta and 30% sauce. We didn’t get a friendly welcome. The man handling drinks looked so unhappy, like being there was a punishment. They also charge €1 per person for a “cover charge” for knives, forks, and a tablecloth, which I find completely outrageous. When I eat at a restaurant I expect cutlery, just as I expect a glass at a pub or wheels on a car, without paying extra. On top of that, you have to pay VAT. It feels like a way to make extra cash, and I hope the owner reconsiders. The rip-off is unforgivable.

A lovely place, with owners who were so friendly and helpful. Grazie Gianni!
