Italian apartments usually sleep 6 or 7 guests at the most, so they’re well-suited to small groups. Most come on a self-catering basis so have a kitchen kitted out for cooking your own meals. Prices are often lower than Italian chalets or hotels, but whether your holiday costs less overall depends on things like where/how you choose to eat.

Meals aren’t prepared by staff at the property - you have a kitchen with wherewithal to cook your own meals. This is a flexible option, as you can plan things as you fancy them – cooking, eating out at a restaurant or ordering a takeaway according to what works for you.
The Francescato Apartments in Livigno have a cracking location, right next to the slopes, less than 100 metres from the ski lift and near the ski school meeting point too. They’re also close to bars in the heart of the San Rocco area.
Most Italian ski apartments sleep 6 - 7 guests max. Francescato Ampas Apartments in Livigno had the largest units when we last checked. If you’re a bigger group and booking early enough, you can often request neighbouring apartments.
Often they have reception and housekeeping staff on site and most of our packages include resort reps too who will be available throughout the week if you need anything. Usually apartments will only be cleaned at the beginning and end of your stay.

Not often on-site, but as apartment buildings are often close to the heart of the resort, there’ll usually be a range of crèches, kids clubs and ski schools nearby. If you’d prefer a private nanny to be with the kids in your own apartment, this service is often bookable too.
Yes - if you’re happy to cook simple meals, you can self-cater and ski on a shoestring. If you want meals made for you though, staying in a catered hotel or chalet could work out cheaper than eating out in restaurants throughout your stay.
