A solid confirmation of the quality of the food served by the impeccable staff at Pajarin. Whenever we're in the area, we always bring friends and/or family, who are invariably thrilled with every aspect and lavish compliments on the excellent selection. From appetizers to dessert, you can't help but be very satisfied, at a fair and reasonable price: the challenge is to finish every course... Special mention for Lasagna di Ormea, which alone is worth the trip!
The owners are very friendly and ready to answer any questions. The rooms aren't that great but you can still sleep well.
We stayed at this hotel for six nights. There are several points to mention in this review. First, the beds are appalling. In a double room, we found a metal bedstead with a wooden plank over it. The slightest movement made an insane noise, making it difficult to sleep at night. Furthermore, having installed two single mattresses, they shifted during the night, often resulting in a person being sandwiched between them. The hotel website states that all rooms have a balcony/terrace, but this is not the case. The hotel does not have an elevator, so elderly people or those with mobility issues had great difficulty climbing the stairs to their rooms. There 's little choice for breakfast, as it 's not a buffet. Otherwise, you 'd find an empty croissant per person (I think they made it themselves , a small piece of cake or tart they made (I think , and some toast with packaged jams of your choice. Then you can choose a drink from the bar (coffee, cappuccino, latte macchiato, etc. . There 's no choice for a savory or healthier breakfast. The portions at lunch and dinner are very generous, with many good dishes, but for those staying at the hotel for several days, things get boring because the dishes are always the same (green tagliolini with mushrooms, braised meat that was offered every day for both lunch and dinner, cooked vegetables always peas with carrots, green beans, and sometimes potatoes, and so on, but always the same dishes . If you asked for a simple salad because you no longer wanted the same dishes, it wasn 't available. Basically, there was no option to have any fresh vegetables (side dishes or to order fruit (there wasn 't even watermelon, no fruit at all . Being a property that claims to be pet-friendly, I would have expected at least a small dog area (fenced off where you could maybe stay when you 're not out and about with your dog (there is enough space in front of the hotel to offer such an area . Some finishing touches are definitely missing (hair dryer, hangers in the bathroom, a shower gel holder inside the shower stall . Some rooms don 't even have a closet and have a simple A metal structure covered with a DIY-style plastic sheet. They don 't even have a small table or desk to place small appliances. The hotel offers a beautiful view, and there are lovely trails nearby for walking through the woods. Given our experience with the rooms, I honestly don 't know if we 'd return, as we didn 't sleep well due to the uncomfortable bed. It 's a shame, because they could offer an excellent choice given their convenient location.
Beautiful place just a stone's throw from home to get away from everyday life
A scenic and extremely peaceful place to eat well and enjoy the tranquility of the valley, even from the small pool. Friendly service, clean and well-maintained rooms, excellent prices. We'll be back!
