Les Neiges d'Antan

We had a fantastic 5-night stay at *Les Neiges d'Antan* from February 18 to 23. The rooms were cozy and comfortable, offering a perfect retreat after long days on the slopes. Although we only dined at the hotel restaurant twice, the food was delicious and beautifully prepared. A special mention goes to Ludovico, the wonderful owner, and his attentive team. The waiting staff and other personnel were attentive without being obtrusive, striking the perfect balance that made us feel truly at ease. The drivers, in particular, were incredibly friendly and made getting to and from Cervinia seamless and stress-free. Their warm hospitality truly made our stay memorable. An added bonus was the relaxing wellness area, complete with a pleasant sauna room, a steam room, and an inviting outdoor jacuzzi—perfect for unwinding while enjoying the beautiful mountain scenery. We also loved the cosy bar and library area, which offered a great selection of games for a relaxed evening in, as well as the atmospheric music room that added to the hotel’s unique charm. *Les Neiges d'Antan* is a charming gem in Cervinia, and we would gladly return. Highly recommended!

This is the first review I have ever written on Trip Advisor and I'm drawn to do it because of the extraordinary experience we had at Les Neiges d'Antan. There are incredible hotels and then there are special experiences and those two don't always go together. But here, they do. Ludovico has created a cozy, authentic, and super chic getaway in the woods with top notch service that touched our entire family. Picture gorgeous breakfast spreads with baroque music playing and a view of the Matterhorn out the window. Maybe you decide not to ski one and Ludovico agrees to get a fire going in the cozy wood paneled bar and you drink tea and go snow shoeing (Ludovico loaned me his own snow shoes!) followed by a top notch massage. I literally leaned on Ludovico for every restaurant recommendation and he also introduced us to the most amazing ski guide we hired for the day. He is loved everywhere you go in Cervinia and when you say you are staying at Les Neiges d'Antan, every restuarant/store owner lights up and says some form of "you are staying at the most authentic and unique spots in Cervinia". It's about a 7-10 minute drive to town, but they are always ready to take you there and pick you up so that never was a problem even in the height of the holidays and it was nice to escape the crowds in town and go back to our home in the woods every day after skiing. My favorite moments were sitting in the bar in the evening drinking the most delicious cocktails (with bar snacks and real candles on every table), playing backgammon with my sons, and one night my husband and son even hit the vinyl room where they have with records that bring back so many memories that you can play in a cozy room by yet another fire (the fires are in so many rooms it's heaven!). It's not a hotel where you order in room service (they don't have it), but my son was sick and they brought him soup which was so sweet (and he said delicious). It just feels like they are there to take care of you and that you are staying at the home of a legendary Cervinia family (speaking of family, Ludivico's son runs the bar and is a gem, his wife works there and is fantastic, and they have two little girls who run around and sprinkle their magic around the place). If I had one critique it would be that there are two hot tubs and they never felt quite hot enough and they were modern looking which doesn't fit the vibe of the hotel, but the sauna and steam room (and cold plunge) were great. And you have to like a memory foam bed which I didn't think I was going to, but it ended up being great. In the end, however, it's not about being in the room, it's about being in the cozy spaces they have created throughout. If you want an extra special experience in Cervinia where the skiing alone is breath taking, choose Les Neiges d'Antan.

From the moment we walked in, we knew we were somewhere really special. From the fantastic cosy bar and vinyl selection, to the incredible quality of food, nothing was too much trouble. Possibly the most peaceful and tranquil ski hotel we’ve ever stayed in, nestled up in the mountains. It’s about 10 minutes drive to Cervinia, but the non-stop fleet of vehicles made this a non-event. Thank you so much Deborah and team x
