Hotel Breuil, Cervinia, Italy

Spent a great week in Cervinia in early April. The snow was definitely on its way out as the sun shone magnificently everyday. This made skiing a little difficult in the afternoons but still perfect in the mornings. The slopes were reasonably quiet and there were barely any queues for lifts. I attended beginners ski school every day and our instructor Gabrielle was very brilliant, funny and friendly and helped me to dramatically improve- going over a jump on our last day! Hotel Breuil was centrally placed and always welcoming. We had sky television in our room (including movies, which was great after a tiring day!) The room was cleaned everyday with fresh towels and an airing from our small balcony. The evening food was lovely, basic pasta and meat course but then an array of puddings! Cervinia itself was quaint resort with plenty of rental shops, restaurants and apres ski bars. However I would not recommend the resort for young people looking for a very active nightlife as it was more suited to families and quieter skiiers. Lots of pizzerias provided some amazing meals out! Overall was a great holiday, one which I would definitely do again!

Apres Ski: 3/5

Nice rooms in a good area close to the main lifts. The food isn’t great and we only ate the breakfast and evening meal once. Evening meals took a while to arrive and we were encouraged to buy drinks from the bar.
