We stayed here for a short skiing holiday and to watch a family member compete in the youth Olympic festival. The resort is great and this hotel is no different. The people who run/work there are so kind and helpful, they really can't do enough for you. A few of the members of staff speak fluent English which was great as we booked quite last minute and I didn't have time to brush up on my Italian. Rooms are warm and comfortable, bathrooms are bigger than in most hotels and there are plenty of towels. The breakfast is lovely with a lot of choice and the staff refill it constantly - the croissants were very nice. Evening meals were great! Very varied day to day over the three courses and a nice selection of salad to choose from also. One of my favourite things about the hotel was that they allow dogs, and whilst I didn't take one, I enjoyed being able to pay everyone else's! Special mention to the front of house staff and housekeeping - they work very hard for the guests. If we come back to Piancavello we would stay here again!

“Stay, ski, and soak?”

Stayed 5 days for a family and friends ski trip. Overall, friendly, comfortable, accessible to skiing (short walk), storage for ski/board equipment.

Stayed 5 days for a family and friends ski trip. Overall, friendly, comfortable, accessible to skiing (short walk), storage for ski/board equipment. We enjoyed the people at the front desk-they also make great cappuccinos! We felt loved by the wide variety of foods and drinks at the buffet breakfast. We were surprised by the selection and quality of the dinner meal. We had the best server. Staying here was very easy for our families and friends to be able to enjoy each other and ski and relax. A couple of things to keep in mind: 1) no ski equipment inside the hotel and don't wear your ski boots inside--there are storage lockers in the "basement" and you can enter the hotel from that entrance. 2) they do have one hot tub. However-it costs and, more importantly, has very strict rules about using-like everyone (up to 4) must enter the hot tub at the same time-your time for a soak is strictly monitored-and whatever you do, don't touch any of the controls (or suffer the wrath of the "spa monitor"). Bring your own towel to avoid extra charges. Okay--maybe it's Just a "stay and ski" review.

I stayed at Hotel Antares for a weekend with my daughter and her partner. We had two rooms, I had a single room which had a double bed made up from two single beds and my daughter had a double room with a double bed. The beds were very comfortable. The rooms had carpet on the floor, which is unusual for a ski resort as the floors are subject to a lot of abuse from heavy duty foot ware. In general the carpets were lasting the pace in the rooms but the hallway was suffering a little with a permanent stain from foot traffic on it. Having said that the hotel was very clean and well maintained. The rooms were very comfortable and warm. The en-suites were spacious, dated, but actually nice and quirky as you can almost date when they were constructed from the furniture, which I am delighted to say was kept as original. The staff were pleasant and helpful and the hotel has a relaxed atmosphere. We had breakfast each morning of our stay which was adequate for calorie hungry skiers. We did not have dinner in the hotel although the menu looked interesting. We wanted to eat out around the village for variety. On the morning we were leaving before normal breakfast commenced our breakfast was made ready for us specially. My daughter and her partner partook in the facilities of the wellness centre and they enjoyed it very much. I would recommend this hotel as it is close to the ski pass office, a ski hire shop, a bar and a nice restaurant. The hotel is at one end of the village but as it takes about 10 minutes to walk from one end of the village to the other, everything is within easy walking distance.
