Hotel Cima Piazzi

Location, hotel, friendly staff

We had organized a trip with friends and the second night, on 10 of September, we would stay at Cima Piazzi Hotel. We had a motorcycle accident on 9 of September and asked to cancel the reservation and to be refunded. Even though we provided the hotel with photos of the accident, photos of the injured person at the hospital and police report, they still charged us. Meanwhile, other hotels, including the hotel where we would stay at the day of the accident, after receiving the photos, were really understanding and supportive to us. This review is just to let you know that humanity must be above a hotel reservation (1 night), because the life of our friend was at danger that day.

The hotel is situated about 6 Km west of Bormio, with a lovely view to the valley, in a strategic spot to cycle up the majestic mountain passes in the area. To the east you have the climbs to Stelvio and Gavia passes, to the west the climbs to Foscagno and Bernina passes, and you can start south down the valley to arrive at the famous Mortirolo ascent The breakfast at the hotel was rich and varied, and it was available by request at very early hours, in case you're an early bird and plan to start your excursions with sun-up. There's also a spacious lounge at the ground floor equipped with a bar and TV, and it was a pleasure seeping my afternoon coffee there and watching the Tour de France with some locals. The hosts were very kind and accommodating, and helped me with errands I needed to run in the area.
