I was accomodated in Hotel Banchetta for 4 days and all in all can say it was a good choice. Away from the hectic queues of the other hotels in the centre of Sestriere, the great fact was that we parked the car on our arrival and did not move it until departure! The ski slopes are conveniently near (200... more

My wife and I stayed at the Banchetta in March. It is set in a little sattelite village of Borghetta, linked by a chairlift to Sestriere. At first I was a little dissapointed that the bus link was not too frequent, but after visiting Sestriere I found that there was little more on offer apre ski. The Banchetta is great... more

One of the best ski hotels I have evedr used for the price. Some people have said the food was poor. I guess they expected English food but this is an independent Italian family owned and run hotel with a real chef - five italian style courses, etc. The beer in the bar was a little steep but overall well... more

The Hotel Banchetta is in the lower resort of Sestriere Borgata and is a short walk to the lifts for Banchatte (good reds), Col Basset gondola (Sauze D'Oulx link), a gentle and short poma lift great for beginners and two chair lifts to the main Sestriere area. At the lifts is a ski-hire shop that allows you to store your... more

The hotel is in a quiet and peacefull village out of the main ski station but only 50m from the main ski lifts. The food was delicious and... more

Our stay was very good. The children were safe and had pleanty of space to play. During Chrismas day evening they had the run of the seating area with their new presents and the adults sat nearby. The food was pleantiful and quality. We had a seven course Christmas meal on Christmas day which was more than we could eat... more

when booking this hotel, we were not made aware that it is located in the sister resort of Borgata. This resort is tiny, and although close to the lifts, if you want to go out in the evening this is not for you (as we found out). In the 2nd week of January the bus service to Sestriere stops at... more

A group of us spent a week over Christmas at the Hotel Banchetta. The location is great for skiing, although anyone wanting to 'live it up' should head for Sestriere instead. Our hotel was adequate in many respects: warm rooms, friendly and helpful staff, clean and functional. The food, however, was dreadful. Meals consisted of a succession of barely edible... more
