Casa Vacanze Michela

A quiet, lovely spot for a holiday, and the ski lift is very close by.

Michela was a great host, and we felt very comfortable here. The apartment was welcoming, spotless, and had all the conveniences we needed. The area is quiet but handy for getting to the lifts, and having a garage was a real bonus. Highly recommended!

The trails are the best part for me. You can head straight into the woods opposite the property and choose from easier routes or more challenging ones, and the location deserves five stars. The bedroom was beautiful, too, with a little balcony and a stunning view. The bathroom was a decent size, and there was a microwave and dishwasher, though my wife didn't use either. The living room sofa was noisy and uncomfortable, and the cookware was really only good for pasta. We ended up buying a coffee maker because the one there was blackened. I also saw that some nearby properties cost even less. I think the owner benefits from having long-term guests. Hospitality gets one star from me. She knew I'd had blood pressure problems at the start of the stay but never asked how I was doing. After collecting the cash I owed, she left without saying goodbye. Getting there from northern Rome on a dreadful Saturday journey, I was told to pick up the keys by 5:30 PM, though her website said 7:00 PM, and to leave by 9:30 AM. That felt very early. Perhaps she's busy with her business, managing fifteen or more apartments between here and Bormio and cleaning them in the afternoons, which isn't ideal when you're trying to rest. I won't be back. My reply to her response: she included unnecessary details, and some were inaccurate. I never planned to go up to the Sobretta! I stayed for fifteen days because she only suggested her sister's place after the period we'd agreed on, with what I admit was a slight penalty. Otherwise, who knows how much I would have had to pay. Her long response seems like the sort of thing someone writes when they need a lot of material to justify herself. An apartment owner who doesn't say goodbye to a client or guest, whether they're leaving, doesn't want to see them again. She may have her reasons, but her reply, "I'll never see you again," shows zero professionalism in hospitality. I gave her a 1 for that. So many great things!

Michela is a wonderful person, generous, kind, and always helpful. You can count on her for anything, from a hair dryer you've left at home to route ideas for all levels. We'd love to come back in winter, and maybe next year too. We spent two weeks here as a family of two adults and two children. The apartment was spacious enough for all of us, bright, and had lovely views on both sides. The double bedroom had a wardrobe and chest of drawers, with a balcony looking toward Tresero. The children's room had space for two beds and a wardrobe. There was also a hall with a coat rack and a living area with a kitchen, small TV, sofa bed, and a balcony overlooking the Ables with a large clothesline and pegs. The kitchen had dishes, pots, a kettle, microwave, dishwasher, and other accessories, but no traditional oven. The bathroom was spacious and comfortable. Everything was in great condition and absolutely clean when we arrived, and there was a handy shoe rack outside the front door. The shared garden was well kept, with a swing, trampoline, built-in BBQ, wicker seating, a big outdoor dining table, and deckchairs. The entrance had colorful seasonal flowers, and the area was very quiet, away from busy traffic. A washing machine and dryer are available for a fee. The ski rooms and covered parking are downstairs. Recommended to everyone!
