Super nice to stay at La Ginabelle. Very close to the Sunnegga lift. Rooms very clean and modern, spa is perfect, breakfast is perfect. Highly recommend. We had a family room for 5 with a fully functioning kitchen which we used twice as we wanted to say in rather than go out for dinner. Extremely convenient.
