Hotel Lo Scoiattolo

I happened to be covering a trail running race that finished right in front of this hotel ( ETC by UTMB ) I entered reception trying to talk with someone that worked there, waited 5m, ringed a bell but it was deserted. ( I only needed a place to charge my laptop so that I was able to deliver my pictures of the event ) As nobody attended i went to the outside of this hotel and sat down on their chairs. After 15m a woman arrived and shouted it was private property and that we couldn’t be there very rudely. We argued that we tried to talk with someone before and were more than willing to eat or drink something to be able to use this space but nevertheless she just shouted aggressively for us to go away. Courmayeur is a lovely place with lovely people, shame that I couldn’t say the same about this place or its staff.

In English, translates to The Squirrel. One of our favorite hotels on the TMB circuit. Room was comfortable. Service was especially good. Georgia (sp?) at the front desk was inviting and pleasant - giving us suggestions and making us dinner reservations. John Pierre (sp?) in the restaurant was exceptional. He has the smile and joy of Roberto Benigni. His work ethic was incredible to watch - we felt like his personal mission was to make us feel welcome. Couldn't be more pleased with the experience and highly recommend.

We had a lovely ski holiday, staying here. The staff were lovely, the breakfast is fantastic. The room (46) was good the only thing I would have liked is a kettle for making tea but this might not be common it Italy....
