Anova Hotel & Spa

The accommodation provides spacious, clean rooms with quality bedding and views. Conveniently located near ski slopes and amenities. Guests praise the helpful staff, wide breakfast buffet, and well-equipped facilities.

We travelled with Crystal and all went very smoothly. We were greeted with a 100 cm snow dump... which really gave great ski conditions. Great location for ski in and out. A supermarket at the bottom of the slope, handy for drinks and snacks. Ski bus to pick you up from hotel if you want to get to the other side of the resort without ski-ing around to it. The room was lovely, very clean, with balcony overlooking drag lift. Great shower. Bathrobes and slippers were a nice touch. Kettle and cups also supplied (don't always get this) and small fridge. We didn't use the spa facilities. Love Montgenevre as a ski area, certainly suits me as some lovely long blues and greens to keep me happy in my advancing years. The staff were lovely and very helpful. We had a problem with our safe in the room functioning, the receptionist came up several times to try and help out, but in the end it was left to a technician to sort. Same with the ski locker in the basement, but all sorted in the end. We had an evening of entertainment, an amazing Jazz type duo played an excellent set which we thoroughly enjoyed. Thumbs up for 'Blue Moon'. We were halfboard. The only reason not giving a 5 star rating, was the problem we experienced with the Breakfast buffet. Breakfast ran until 10am. We would get there between 8.30 to 9am. The first morning they ran out of bread, I overheard a French man asking for bread, to be told they had run out and would not be able to get anymore. The pastry basket was empty, I asked for croissants and was told some would come out, about 15 minutes later some appeared. Other items of food had run out - such as bacon, scrambled eggs.... again a long wait to be replenished. Also problem of tables not being reset, meaning people were having to sit at uncleaned tables and find their own crockery. This was not a one off and happened the next two mornings, at which point I complained to our Rep about the situation. We had become like hawks, waiting for the food to appear, which should not be the case. It appeared to be a problem of not enough staff to man the buffet. Our rep told the Hotel management, so hopefully this is something they will get right in the future as a shame compared to the rest of our experience at the hotel which was good.

Well, this trip took years to take (thanks, Covid!) but it was worth the wait. We absolutely loved the Anova... it had exactly everything we needed from a very spacious room (we had a junior suite on two levels... teens on one floor, we were on the other), super easy access to skiing with adjacent lockers, a great bar, wonderful terrace and super helpful staff. Cannot imagine staying anywhere else in Montgenevre. Wonderful - would love to go back!
