Wine Hotel Retici Balzi

Staff were incredibly hospitable towards our family’s and infant’s needs! Would love to come back. Views were breathtaking :)

Superb boutique hotel. Staff, service and accommodations were first class and extremely helpful with recommendations on restaurants, hikes, wineries, local attractions including train to St Moritz etc.. The views from lobby lounge and room balconies were magical. Overall, what you would hope a European stay would be.

We are now enjoying the 10th stay at this wonderful hotel! The owners Armando & Elena and their professional English speaking staff give you a feeling of warm welcome, care and an exquisit service. This modern hotel of several floors is placed in the middle of the wineyard terrasses, above the town of Sondrio. The spectacular view of the Valtellina valley from your balcony is breathtaking. The breakfast is to die for, consisting of omelette, local berries, eggs from hens nesting i the wood, yoghurt and home made bread and pastries. We will continue coming back to this fantastic place by car, hopefully once a year.

The room was amazi g with a balcony o erlooking the valley and high mountains. The staff went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. Id go back if ever in the area.

On a 5 week touring holiday through france, Italy and Austria, hubby noticed this place whilst planning a route to lake Garda, slightly off track but the combination of hotel and restaurant next door made us feel it was worth a little diversion. So glad we did. A beautifully appointed hotel with a wonderful restaurant next door (see separate review). We had a standard room (if anything here is standard) but it was lovely, spacious with a wonderful comfy bed, air conditioning, great shower etc, etc!! The staff were extremely professional and friendly and made you feel very welcome. We decided on a shared wine tasting on arrival followed by a glass of the wine we liked the most. Spectacular views of the surrounding countryside and a lovely outdoor patio to sit and relax on along with a nice lounge area. Not many rooms, I think maybe 6-9 with spacious parking for your car, elevator to help with luggage. Breakfast was very relaxed and besides offering lots on the buffet they also made your eggs to order, we had ham and cheese omelettes which were light and delicious (thanks to those free roaming hens)!!!. They have a spa apparently which we did not see but would imagine it to be small, lovely hot tub outside if you get chance to use, slippers and dressing gowns in the room. Will definitely be back if passing (or not)!! And would 100% recommend
