Rucas di Bagnolo - RucaSki

Extremely good location - close to transport (train/tram/metro line just across the road, direct airport shuttle bus 2 mins walk over the square), super easy to walk to all key sites, convenience store opposite for snacks and essentials, and plenty of bars/restaurants and nightlife around yet feels safe and friendly area. Staff happy to help. I was given a suprise free upgrade on arrival (from economy double to kingsize superior) which was a lovely gesture. Room was very clean, had adjustable temperature controls, mini bar (items at extra cost, but fridge could be used to store other items), kettle and large TV. Choice of pillows (normal and memory foam). Amazing powerful rain shower and decent smelling shower gel. Some damage to the floor and shower door missing bottom seal so flooded the bathroom a bit, but didn't bother my stay. Pro tip: take earplugs for peaceful night stay, as like with most hotels there was some noise from adjacent rooms. Definitely would stay here again.

I have stayed in many 5 star properties, but have not received the level of attentiveness nor service as we have experienced at the Mont Blanc Hotel Village. The staff are truly experts at performing their respective jobs. I am literally the pickiest person when it comes to customer service and not only could I not find fault with anything here, it all exceeded my very high expectations. I am truly impressed. The accommodations are lovely in their traditional vibe, but with all of the necessary amenities (modern bathroom features, etc.). The chef is obviously skilled and the menu is very northern Italy. We have not explored the little village of La Salle as we have driven to Courmayeur to skate and ski during the day. Courmayeur is lovely and I can’t say enough about the Courmayeur Sport Complex ice rink and coaches. It was amazing being able to travel to Europe and continue my training by working with Marika Poli as my “on the road” figure skating coach. We will certainly return and bring the kids next time!

Location is super close to the bus station. No breakfast avaliable but room have kitchenet so bring some food to cook or heat up.
