Having never skied in Italy before, it was with some trepidation that we booked a week in Sauze. We were let down by poor snow, but the hotel was faultless. The hotel is traditional and full of character, with wood everywhere, twenties ski memorabilia and a zodiac theme throughout. While the rooms were rustic, the bathrooms were modern with fast, hot showers, heated mirrors, and Acqua di Parma. Situated right on the slope, the view through the windows of sun rising on the mountains was stunning. The sumptuous lounge, with log burner and deep, comfy sofas, was the perfect place to relax in the evening, and have Nico bring drinks and nibbles. But it was the service that will stay longest in the memory. Enrico has assembled a friendly and welcoming staff for whom nothing was too much trouble. We really were treated like VIPs. Breakfasts were varied and delicious, while dinner was fantastic and of a high standard. People say that the food in Italian ski resorts is way better than in France and I would have to agree. Attention to detail was high and we all felt thoroughly spoiled. While the snow this season in Sauze was patchy, the welcome and service from Il Capricorno was deep and consistent.
