We went after the skiing season so impressions are skewed. Sestriere was empty with very few people around and only two eating places open. Palace Resort 2 was adequate with a good underground garage. I would not recommend anyone to go in the bridge period between skiing and hiking. Sestriere is only a winter sports centre and has no intrinsic appeal.

We had a very pleasant stay at the resort in the first week of April. The resort is approx 15 mins walk from the ski slopes and we are no slouches! The return is up a reasonable incline, a good workout at 2,000m! The hotel is a bit dated but clean and pleasant, the only complaint being that one of our rooms smelled strongly of smoke. The rooms are quite compact and would be a squeeze for 6 as advertised - we had 5 in one room and 2 in another and were thankful of the second room as we had somewhere to eat on the 4 nights we stayed in to cook, without having to clear the foldaway bed. The 6 bed would be ideal for a family of 4. The restaurant was closed during our stay but we knew that before we booked - not sure when it closes but worth finding out if you are expecting breakfast and an evening meal. Also, there was little in the way of entertainment but we weren't there for that. Grace did a great job laying on breakfast from the bar but this was limited to fresh orange (lovely), teas, coffees and pastries/pancakes/museli. Prices are very reasonable. I can't praise the staff highly enough, Grace in particular who went above and beyond the call of duty when one of our party feel ill and needed hospital treatment - she bent over backwards to help including lifts to and from the medical centre. She also organised a room extension on our final day which, again, was completely discretionary but very much appreciated. Gratzie Grace, you were wonderful! We were lucky with the conditions but the snow was on its last legs by the time we left on 8th April - one to watch.

Had the most wonderful time on the last week of the season- lucked out with a lot of snow and glorious sunshine. The best things about the resort are the ladies manning the reception and the bar- ever helpful and cheerful. Cannot recommend enough.

Visited palace 2 for an impromptu family ski break. The place was basic but clean and the staff were friendly. Especially Maddalena Randazzo who was entertaining the kids at apres ski. This was definitely the highlight for our kids (8 and 4) who were utterly charmed by this lovely lady. She was very kind and got both of them singing karaoke in the bar which allowed us to relax with a Spritz Veneziano! Much appreciated after a long day skiing.

I was here for a week with friends. The service is flawless, and the personnel is competent and ready for any question. Rooms are fine, with all the commodities to not live in a mess for a week: ski box, deposit for boots, multiple car place. The bar is operative until late. It is situated at 5 minutes walk from the city center and 10 minutes walk from the starting of the slopes, but there also is a bus stop in front of it in case you don't want to walk. Very fair price.
