Mirtillo Rosso Family Hotel ****

Delphine’s testimonial,

Travel Designer visiting the Mirtillo Rosso Family Hotel

Delphine, mother of Manon, 10 years, from Alsace (France)

Italy is the quintessential family destination. In addition to its Mediterranean beaches and mythical cities, it’s the green and lush nature of the alpine valleys that has seduced us. My husband and our 10-year-old daughter, Manon, were eagerly awaiting our grand departure for the Mirtillo Rosso Family Hotel, a refined, original and warm hotel where you will quickly feel at home.

AN IMPECCABLE WELCOME

As they say, first impressions matter. When we arrived at the Mirtillo, we were immediately welcomed as prestigious guests. A warm and very personalized welcome was given to us, as well as an establishment’s visit and a presentation of the staff. The attentive hotel manager gave us tips and ideas on how to visit the region and make the most of it. On the agenda: nature walks, nautical activities, hikes, visits…

What we really appreciated was the staff’s effort to make us feel comfortable and communicate in French with Manon, who was the star of the day. A gift box filled with surprises was given to her at check-in. The receptionist, always smiling, immediately asked her a series of courteous and polite questions to get to know her, before showing her the kids-club and the activities available for her stay. A program that put stars in her eyes!

COZY ROOMS

After the check-in, we were accompanied to our room. We were staying in the prestigious Family Room. This room on the second floor opens onto a large terrace overlooking the village and the surrounding mountains. A natural and surrealist setting.

Spread over 40 m², the room actually has two bedrooms and a bathroom with a superb shower, slippers and bathrobes for our whole little family, as well as personal care products. A lovely attention!

The parental room is fresh and warm at the same time, as clean as it is comfortable. My husband and I each had 4 pillows and extra blankets, a sign of cozy nights. Two large closets were arranged to store our belongings and set up as if we were at home. The ideal place to store your ski equipment!

Manon slept in her own room, connected to ours by a door. In her bunk bed alone, our little princess felt like she was in an enchanted cabin.

FAMILY RELAXATION AT THE SPA

The Spa provided us with a relaxing and refreshing moment, thanks to the swimming pool heated to 34°C, fresh water and herbal teas available in self-service.

My husband and I loved this clean and family space, Manon loved it! In addition to the special care for children, the Spa has perfectly adapted swimming pools and games to pamper and entertain them.

GASTRONOMIC BREAK

The Mirtillo Rosso restaurant masters the art of refined cuisine! The menus are fresh and varied, the atmosphere is family oriented and the service impeccable.

Children are treated like kings. Attentive staff, colouring place mats, menus adapted to all ages, playgrounds and balanced food, nothing was missing. The special children’s buffet filled Manon with its healthy but delicious products (salmon, chicken, rice, pasta, fresh vegetables, pesto, tomato sauce).

However, adults and their well-being are also honoured: a fine and local cuisine accompanied by wines of the highest quality, all served in very refined dishes.

THE KIDS-CLUB

As soon as she arrived at the kids-club, a secure space with an original decoration, our daughter was warmly welcomed by the three instructors who instantly spotted the new arrival. Once invited to participate in activities, meals and games, the new kids-club’s member quickly became part of the small group of children present at the club.

Every morning, the entertainers spend time at the restaurant tables to present the day’s activities: swimming pool, cooking lessons, theater, a walk with lanterns and farm visits. In the evening, theme evenings are also offered to children (baby dance, blind test, tombola), which gave us the opportunity to take time alone and have a dinner for two.

AN UNFORGETTABLE STAY

A stay that exceeds my expectations and I will gladly return for my next family vacation. A family and pleasant atmosphere, thanks in particular to the Mirtillo’s manager, both actor and director of the always very joyful and relaxed ambience!

Tenderly,

Delphine

The surrounding nature amazes them and encourages them to discover the valley's heritage.

Perfectly designed for teenagers and adapted to their interests, the Nintendo Lab Hub is open to fans of technology and video games three times a week.

At the Mirtillo Rosso Family Hotel, Christmas isn't just a party at the end of the year! Every 24^th and 25^th of the month, Christmas spirit and folklore descend upon the valley! Numerous festive activities are organized, including a special "festival" menu at the restaurants, pastry baking, and a famous treasure hunt in Santa's footsteps

The hotel also offers many items and services to accommodate to families, such as a high-quality babysitting service and a baby-kit that includes a bottle warmer, a baby cot, a stroller and a changing table.

FAMILY EXPERIENCES

During winter, snow lovers can meet up outside the hotel and head to the slopes thanks to the hotel's transfer service. Children have the opportunity to take ski lessons, either private or in small groups, with qualified instructors. After class in the snow, they will eat all together and have fun at the mini club for the rest of the afternoon.

Numerous hiking paths roam around Mount Rose. During the warm season, the hotel organizes family adventures to discover mountain refuges, lakes, and villages in the area. Little adventurers shouldn't miss out on the excursion to the educational farm La Beline. This excursion allows them to get up close and pet the pasture animals.

In "the greenest valley in Italy", the Sesia river is the perfect spot for canoeing and kayaking, as well as rafting and fishing.

FOR THE PARENTS

Mom and dad can take advantage of the hotel spa that features a sauna, a whirlpool bath and multi-sensory showers. To combine the well-being of the body and the spirit, a tailor-made wellness program combines athletic activities and beauty rituals for parents who know how to treat themselves!

Wine connoisseurs will want to participate in workshops and tastings of local Piedmont wine, while those who are interested in culture will want to hit the road to discover alpine villages made out of dried stone. The Fobello village and the Sacred Mountain of Varallo are especially worth a visit.
