Rifugio Alpe San Romerio — Hotel in Brusio

If one chooses to do the long hike from|Brusio up to San Romerio which is about 11 km in length and 1 km in altitude difference, then the great food will come in handy at San Romerio. Fortunately there are also shorter versions to arrive, namely from Viano or Piaz but the buses must be ordered in advance or might not be available. |If staying overnight, then dinner is served from 18:30 and it is a daily fixed menu so best to plan accordingly if arriving mid afternoon. And best to brush up on your Italian if one wants to have a really good conversation with the hosts. |But these are all minor details in the grand scheme of things and the San Romerio is an absolutely wonderful place to stay. The rooms are comfortable, plenty of duvets and blankets are provided and the shared bathroom is pristinely clean. And the hospitality is second to none, always accompanied by a smile. |The little church’s key is also available from the guesthouse for a few moments of utter peace and tranquility.

For me, the refugio's location and isolation are major parts of its attraction.|Gino, the farmer, his family and the friendly and knowledgable staff are always on hand to help and go that extra mile for their guests.|It's a typical mountain wooden refuge as well as being a working farm. |The quality of lunch and dinner was amazing. Top restaurant quality in fact. I'll definitely be back - if only for the fabulous gnocchi, panna cotta and tiramisu - yum! |And don't forgot to sample the delicious, locally...

In my 17 years of travelling I have never experienced this level of rudeness nor disrespect. |As a paying guest I was made to feel like a hindrance upon arrival. While the view and location may be beautiful, the people that run this place are cold and unwelcoming. It felt more like a strict boarding house than a beautiful mountain escape. |As a woman travelling alone, the minute I arrived wanted to leave.|The woman that showed me to my room was so incredibly rude and bossy she made me cry. |Initially, after reading the reviews of this place, I planned on staying two nights. After being treated so poorly, I immediately wanted to leave. Due to the remote location in the mountains I couldn’t leave until the morning. |Beds are comfortable but the communal shower smells like urine and needs...
