Hotel des Amis
- Games facilities to keep groups entertained
- Possibility for sole occupancy
- Italian and English owners make the perfect combination
- Excellent value
Ski instructor Mauro and his English wife Lesley always work hard to offer groups an enjoyable stay in this charming and well appointed hotel. The size of the hotel means that one group can easily book out the whole hotel and rooming can then be tailored to ensure that all requests are met. The communal areas, reception, dining room, kitchen and two lounge areas are located on the bottom floor for easy access. The hotel also provides a full size table football, ping pong table and dart board for guests to use at their leisure. The English and Italian owners ensure that a genuine Italian feel comes through in all aspects of a group’s stay but that any issues, such as food requests, are easily overcome.
The hotel is in a hamlet by the name of Jouvencaux. Around a mile from the centre of Sauze d’Oulx, it is close enough to be convenient, and distant enough for there to be no distractions. The coach will take groups up to the Sportinia chairlift every morning if required, but there is also the option of using the Jouvencaux chairlift, around 5 minutes walk from the hotel. This involves an interesting walk through the medieval part of the hamlet, which is completed without the need to carry ski equipment as all boots, skis and boards are stored at the top of the chairlift.
Hotel Miosotis

- Sole occupancy possibility
- Closest hotel to the main Sportinia chair lift
The family run Miosotis Hotel is a clean and cosy accommodation which is perfect for groups who are able to fill a coach and who want sole occupancy.
Positioned at the top end of the resort the hotel boasts the enviable title of the closest hotel to the main Sportinia chair lift which our groups use each day. It is also equally convenient for the resort, with the hotel leading onto the cobbled, pedestrianised road which winds through the village. The hotel is an excellent accommodation option with owner Franco being known for his warm hospitality and excellent food.

Inside, instead of a staircase, there is a spiral ramp providing access to the rooms which opens up the central part of the building into a huge atrium. For those wanting quicker access to their rooms there are also two lifts, and of course, a separate fire escape. Both the dining room and bedrooms offer magnificent, panoramic views of the mountains.
