We stayed at the Gianna on a week’s ski holiday with Crystal Ski having chosen the hotel based on reviews. The hotel is great and we have no complaints at all. We’ve done a fair amount of ski holidays (all with Crystal) and this hotel compares well against others. Room was lovely, clean, well serviced and the staff were really friendly. If you’re worrying about distance from lifts, then don’t. The hotel’s mini bus (run by Florino) is very efficient, I don’t think we ever waited more than 10 mins to be picked up after a day’s skiing; you just give him a call. Food is all good and the wine isn’t expensive at all, the Prosecco at €24 is especially nice 😂. We’ve never skied Madonna before (we’re intermediate skiers in our late 50s) and enjoyed the area. Some of the reds are challenging, especially in the morning when the piste is still very firm, but nothing too bad. Lifts are a bit of a mix, some great and some ancient, there are also a couple of pinch points, so plan accordingly, there is routinely only one option to get from A to B. Don’t be put off though, the area is good fun and we enjoyed the week. Finally, Crystal Ski seem to be an easy target for some online. We’ve travelled twice a year with them for the last decade and they’ve always been fine😀
