Overview: apartment description: Banchetta Apartments description

The Banchetta Apartments are in the centre of Borgata, a small and friendly village four kilometres from the main resort of Sestriere. The lifts are only 300 metres away so getting into Sestriere or straight up on to the mountain and the Milky Way each day is nice and easy. The lifts here often don't have queues which makes for a dream start each morning. You can ski right back to the building along one of the paths from the main slopes too - a nice added bonus. Borgata is the perfect place to experience the local way of life which is centered around a small selection of bars and restaurants.

The apartments are located behind the Hotel Banchetta, ran by the same family since the 1930's. They are basic and snug in size, each having a kitchenette with fridge and 4-ring cooker, shower, WC, TV and hairdryer. Being self-catering allows you the freedom to eat and drink wherever you like throughout your stay. If however you fancy upgrading to half board, you can eat at the Hotel Banchetta. You can also pay to use their sauna, perfect after a day on the slopes. Cleaning and change of linen is carried out once per week.

Transfer time: approx. 1 hour 45 mins by coach from Turin airport.

The wonderful thing about Sestriere is that it’s really easy to reach – only about an hour and a half by car from Turin airport. Things are just as convenient when you arrive: This was the first purpose built resort in the Alps (thanks to the owners of Fiat). While it won’t be found on any lists of the world’s prettiest ski towns, its handy location more than makes up for it - high on the mountainside in the Northern Province of Turin, near the Franco-Italian border. Most hotels are rated 3/4 stars, while ...
There’s a whopping 400km of slopes to explore here, and the fact that it hosted the 2006 winter Olympics is a fine mark of quality. Two local ski areas - Mount Sises and Motta - are accessible directly from the town and with the Milky Way lift pass in hand, you can ski far and wide across the Via Lattea. Sauze d'Oulx is easy to reach by gondola, and Sestriere’s also a super base for day trips across the border to Montgenevre in France. One of the best things for beginners is the price of ski lessons – which a...
Après-ski livens up at the weekends with the influx of local Italians who come to enjoy their free time in the town. During the week the resort is more relaxed but still offers a fun vibe and good nightlife with plenty of bars to wind down in and reminisce over the days adventures. Groups will always find great places to spend their evenings with a few drinks and delicious food. For those all-important après-ski drinks, Pinky’s Pizzeria is the place to be (and if you’ve worked up an appetite on the slopes, i...

"We had a great time"

Robert Welling, Derry Hill
3/ out of 5
I would describe the apartments as cheap and cheerful, you get what you pay for. The apartment we stayed in was separated from the main block, just around the corner. It wasn’t stunning inside, but it was comfortable and for the money we paid it was good. There was a single bed in the hall as you enter, another single in the sitting room and a double bedroom. The hotel is run by some lovely people, we ate there in the evenings and the food was mostly local, not necessarily perfect for young kids but there’s lots of bread to fill you up – we had rabbit one night, venison another... We cooked a couple of lunches in the apartment itself and its fine for stuff like boiling up pasta on the hob and warming up a pasta sauce etc. To get to the skiing, it was about 150 yards up a slight incline which was fine from a skiing perspective. The ski rental shop is right at the top of the road by the lifts and you can leave your skis and ski boots there overnight which is useful.

"Woudl recommend to anyone. Lovely family run hotel & food"

I stayed here with my son and husband and would recommend the apartments to other families with younger and older children. They would also be good for couples who wanted time to themselves and I’d actually go here on my own as a solo traveller too. The apartments are quite close to the lifts, about a five minute walk with a ski shop in between if you want to pick up equipment. They’re high up so when you’re getting here, you take the bus half way and then a taxi takes you the rest of the way. We had the bottom apartment which is not 4 star accommodation but is ok, you have to bring your own toilet paper, soap, shampoo etc but they do give you towels. We had a 4 person apartment for 3 of us. My husband and I slept in the double bedroom which has good storage, there’s another bed outside the bedroom near to the front door which we didn’t use - our son stayed in the bed in the kitchen/sitting room area. We didn’t spend much time at all in the actual apartments, we never cooked in them but there is a little kitchen. We had our meals in the hotel; you walk round the corner for about a minute to get there. It’s a family run hotel and the people are really lovely and friendly. They have a nice area where you can sit down and chat with other guests, play games and have drinks and there’s also a sauna you can use if you’re staying in the apartments. There’s also a nice boot room where you can store stuff. We ate here all week - in the mornings they do juices, teas, coffees and a continental breakfast with yoghurt and fruit. For dinner, we had a 3 course meal with a soup, main course and pudding.
