Nobody wants to leave less than positive reviews but sadly this Relais just wasn’t good enough. The location is fabulous with a view from our room (25) directly down the valley towards Mont Blanc, and La Sella is a pretty little village. Staff were friendly and pleasant, especially Rita, on the front desk. The issue is the hotel itself, which is tired and very old fashioned. There is a smell of decay about it. Furnishings are dour, brown wood. No coffee machine in rooms. No Wi-Fi when we were there. Air con didn’t work. The spa is just about ok but functional without any sense of indulgence, let alone luxury, though again staff were very pleasant. Dinner was a shambles. For an eight pm booking we were served our first course, after chasing, at nine thirty. There were 12 people in the restaurant, all complaining about pace. Food was average. Prices were not. Our room cost €419 for one night. Again, sorry to be negative but it represented no value. If you do choose to stay, top tip is, walk down into the village, save your cash and eat in one of the pizzerias or bistros. Maybe in the winter, with more guests and fires burning, it would be fun. In late May, I’m afraid it was anything but.
