TH Corvara - Greif Hotel

This is the best hotel we’ve ever stayed in while skiing. Rooms are very spacious and cleaned daily. Food is absolutely amazing and very plentiful. We were treated to a champagne reception and buffet followed by a seven course meal on Christmas Eve, and a four or five course meal every other evening. Bar prices are very reasonable. Ski bus is regular and quick. Spa and swimming pool are a real added bonus, and easy to book using the app. We found out a few days into our stay that robes and slippers are provided free of charge, but you need to ask for them. Swimming caps are required in the pool, so bring your own or buy one from the hotel for €3. Only negatives are that the WiFi is terrible, and we found the hotel to be too hot to the extent that we had to leave our balcony door open. We loved the resort, and found eating and drinking out to be much cheaper than other resorts we have visited. It’s very family orientated, and we didn’t see many apres-ski bars, which suited us fine. Make sure you try a bombardino in one of the bars or restaurants though.

location 10 minute walk to town minibuses hectic in morning for ride to lifts other guests will push in no real line system but run continuously until around 11 never had a problem getting back. free parking at the front disorganised told i could park round the back then told to move, no room at the front without blocking access to mini buses had to park in hotel garage at a cost but not a big problem. more guests arrived and just kept leaving cars at the front would not want to see emergency services try to get to hotel. standard room clean and functional small when set to twin bed. advertised with satellite tv but no uk channels news ect. small shower cubicle. room had 3 pillows asked repeatedly at reception for extra pillow took 5 times of asking and 24 hours to get pillow then 2 turned up. breakfast ok usual continental plus hot scrambled eggs and bacon no self service coffee machine as 4star but not enough servers to get your drinks in good time usually got one after i had finished eating no chance of a second. Dinner plenty of choice but mediocre quality not sure why so many good reviews of food saw many half eaten plates being cleared. have to ask for house water/tap water which is nice water the standard procedure is to be offered bottled water not good for the environment or wallet. ordered coke zero told there was none only to see Italian guests served coke zero 10 minutes later. bar /entertainment ok singer on before dinner comfortable seating beer ok 25% dearer than in town, after dinner entertainment loud and aimed solely at Italian guests, kids running around unsupervised did not stay around for long. boot/ski room old and unable to cope with the amount of guests. other guests removed my boots from dryers they are not allocated to room numbers swimming pool is very good the reason we chose the hotel but not open for long enough during the day and have to book the 6pm slot is very popular. would not rate at 4 star would stay closer to town on another to Corvara and forgo the pool

The hotel was attractive and the staff were welcoming. The room was spacious with plenty of storage. Daily cleaning to a high standard. The food was very good - authentic Italian with lots of choices. The evening meal had 4 courses - starters and desserts from a buffet, with first course and main course either from the buffet or a la carte. The bar prices were less than expected and served with complimentary snacks. The spa and swimming pool were included and really nice - slightly complex app booking system, but it worked well. Also, separate coloured towels for rooms, spa and pool - encouraged to use for whole stay to reduce environmental impact. Although there was a shuttle bus service into the town and ski-lifts, it was only a short walk of about 10 minutes. We hired a ski locker that was part of the ski-hire shop next to the lifts (50E for 1 week) - that saved a lot of carrying of boots / skis and made the daily journey to the slopes very easy.
