Giardino Mountain

White buildings look over the terrace beneath the Engadin’s snowy peaks.

I would choose Giardino for a holiday where dinner matters as much as the slopes. If you want to walk out into the centre of St. Moritz, I would stay in town itself.

The room disappoints; the terrace stays

A guest expects more from 5 stars: the room feels dark, the carpet is dirty and the ski store uninviting. The sunny terrace is the part of the stay the guest values.
