The Terrace Hotel — Hotel in Sauze d'Oulx

Let’s start from the positive thing, and there is only one, close to the Clotes lift. Just a three minute walk. Very steep hill up to the hotel but still, very close. The negative things, I have chosen to list them as follows:|* The ski cellar, or should I say meatlocker. As you leave your wet skiboots on the non-heated sticks, the mornong after they are not only cold but still wet due to the condensation from thr wet/warm boots on cold metal stick. Extremely small area making most guests waliking up and down the stairs in their ski boots, violating the no ski boot rule in the hotel, noisy.|* Walking up the stairs from reception to first floor there is an awful smell of sewage. |* The rooms are very tiny, maybe suitable for young children or very small italians. Not three well grown scandinavians with three large suitcases. No place to dry wet clothes or even place the clothes for easy access. Must keep in suitcase. The water heated radiators cannot be reduced in heat even with minimum strength on the switch. You could brand cattle with that radiator. The shower cabin is so small, you can hardly move around without accidently turn the waterhandle from normal heat to either freezing cold or boiling warm. Staying right above the hotel entranve, the door slams so hard that it sends shakings upto the room. |* With half board, you would expect breakfast with a normal variety of bread, juice and coffee served from a coffee can. Not here. One huge loaf of bread, ham or cheese (factory cut slices) and coffee from a machine usually found at gas stations in sub-sahara Africa. They soon run out of glasses but replace with plastic cups. No scrambled eggs, no bacon, no toast, no hot chocolate for the kids. No vegetables like cucumber or tomatoes. The dinner is somewhat below average, but acceptable. |* The staff. Well, they do their job, not more. Shouting to each other across the restaurant full of guests is perhaps part of italian charm, I don’t know, but it is not for me. Seen more civilized behavior in other...

I recently stayed at the Hotel Terrazza and I definitely wouldn’t go back. ||||First things first, you have to walk up a very steep hill to reach the hotel. If you have any breathing problems this is not suitable at all. The reception bores some stained couches. ||The radiators in the rooms are extremely hot to touch and therefore heat up the room to an unbearable temperature. The only way I could think to resolve this was to leave the first balcony door open a little as I was travelling the folks staying either side of me.||The furniture was old and the carpet hadn’t been hoovered in weeks,months,years???||||The meals were somewhat appalling.||The breakfast consisted of two type of cereals and croissants, slices of meat and some fruit. The cereal was extremely dry but edible and I could say the same about the croissants.||The evening meals were disappointing. Everything looked like slop and had been thrown together in a mad dash. There was a set menu of three courses and no leeway whatsoever. The ‘white’ fish was predominantly black and the potatoes were soggy. ||If you find yourself in the same position as myself there is a lovely pizza place called Pizza House a few minutes down the road which sells pizza at a reasonable price and is delicious.||Probably the only positive was the location as it was only a minute or two into town and a few minutes to the slopes. Loved Sauze d’Oulx though would avoid Hotel Terrazza...

Just got from a trip with mates to Sauze and the La Terrazza |Been before years ago do knew what to expect |Having read and heard recent reviews was a bit dubious, but, it was just spot on. |The staff were brilliant and couldn’t have been more helpful, Pasquale was a great host every evening, Roberta on reception was always smiling despite receiving some unnecessary abuse one evening, due to a noisy group of Scandinavians. |Chiara and the girls in the restaurant were brilliant and the food was more than adequate, four/five courses every evening, hot soup, salad bar with plenty of fresh bread, pasta course, main and sweet. Good continental breakfast too. |Rooms were tired but spotlessly clean every day, fresh towels and small toiletries provided. |Yes the lift are did smell of sewerage sometimes but so did several other bars and restaurants so not specific to the hotel, more a local facilities issue. |All in all we had a great week, great location just 100 Meters to the lift and despite it not having snowed significantly for a while the slopes were great |Happily return to this place, |It is what it is, great value for the money...
