Excellent location. Next to the Patascoss mountain bar/restaurant (very good and open in the evenings) - just 50m from the piste which is a black, but it immediately branches to give you access to a blue leading to the Patascoss Express chair. The instructions for finding the apartment may have lost something in translation. It is in a development called Patascoss Cottages which is clearly signed at the red/white barrier at the entrance. It is a 10 minute drive from Madonna though and that could be a pain if you want to go out each night. From the apartment if you ski to the bottom of runs 85 or 93 you can buy your lift pass at those locations. Madonna and the linked resorts proved to be a superb ski area.
The apartment itself is traditional Italian style and needs a bit of updating. There’s a pleasant lounge with a long table, a 2 seater sofa and 2 easy chairs. One double bedroom and two twins. A bathroom/toilet and a shower room/toilet. The shower is very small and it won’t fit everyone. Towels and liquid soap were provided.
The central heating is more than adequate, but it does switch off at night and couldn’t be switched off in one of the twins. We were never cold though and there’s plenty of bedding (but we were surprised that we had to make up our own beds on arrival).
The kitchen proved to be a disappointment - it is so small that it has no work surface and any food preparation has to be done in the lounge. More of a problem was the old cooker which tripped the electrics when the oven or more than 2 rings were used. The dishwasher is quite old, but worked fine and dishwasher tablets (and all other cleaning materials) had been provided (but no tea towels).
The on site caretaker (Roberto) and Stefano at the agent Hs4U did all they could to resolve our problem cooker and the owner has evidently now agreed to replace it, so you hopefully shouldn’t have the same experience. We gave up on the cooker for our final night and Hs4U agreed to pay for our meal at the restaurant. You find out how good organisations are when things go wrong and in this situation Stefano at Hs4U was excellent in immediately replying to messages and agreeing to covering the cost of our meal. Most impressed.
Note that there is no wifi, but you can always talk to one another!
If you plan to only use the kitchen lightly then the apartment will probably meet your needs and with the ski in-ski out location and great skiing on offer we would be keen to return once the kitchen has been upgraded.
