Hotel Sant'Orso - Mountain Lodge & Spa

I absolutely loved everything about this place! It is set in such an idylic location, with tremendous views everywhere you look. It felt small and uncrowded but still with multiple options for meals or shopping. We were a group of five. My husband and I shared a two-floor room with a loft with our 21 yo son. He had a nice big space downstairs with his own half-bath and a little balcony and great views. Upstairs, we have a wonderful skylight over our bed, a great bathroom with a fantastic shower. Our older son and his wife stayed a few hours down in a single room that was also lovely with a nice bath and great views. We thoroughly enjoyed the spa facilities. Two of us got massages, everyone spent time in the outdoor hottub with the fabulous view of the mountains, and loved the indoor pool with all its jets and again a fabulous pool. The various relaxation rooms were also quite nice and we thoroughly enjoyed. We never ate dinner in the restaurant but we had breakfast every morning and thoroughly appreciated the staff and the hospitality. There were plenty of food options for everyone, the squeezed-to-order orange juice was wonderful, andwe liked the views and the people watching from the breakfast room. We also enjoyed the cocktail bar, both drinking in the lovely lounge and sitting outside in the lawn chairs. The lawn area is spectacular -- loads of comfy seats, sun and shade options, incredible views. And right next door a fantastic playground for those with kids (or kids-at-heart). One night there was live music on the patio outside the bar, they were great. And most of all, we found the staff to all be welcoming, professional, helpful, and made sure our stay was the best it could be. I really really really hope we'll be able to go back again one day!

Gorgeous hotel in a small Italian alpine village. Several couples stayed at this hotel in September while on a group hiking trip. The hotel was lovely, rooms were all different with some modern and some more of an old fashioned design. Housekeeping was excellent and so fast in the morning . The outdoor hot tub was great , massage in the spa excellent and having drinks on the lawn in the late afternoon while the temperatures were still in the high 20's was wonderful. The bar had fantastic entertainment the second night we were there, hard to leave to go and have dinner. The front desk staff were very helpful and friendly . We loved staying here and I would recommend . The only disconnect was the "bag lunch" we purchased to go on our hikes each day- absolutely terrible . It was literally a hard bun with meat or cheese, or cheese , or lettuce cheese etc, no spread of any kind. Considering this is a hotel in a hiking area this should be much better. Also, the hotel was very busy in the morning and at breakfast it was difficult to find a waiter to order our tea and coffee.

Our tour group stayed here 3 nights. The owner is a wonderful person who gave us a tour of the small village & museum. A few days later showed us how polenta is made. This man was everywhere that I thought he was cloned. Wonderful food and his employees were great. Cogne is a great place to visit and so are the people. Loved this village.
