Aug 2013We spent a week this summer in Jane and David's house, with self catering. Everything is provided and the view from the sitting room window is wonderful! The place is quiet and the flat very cozy and perfect to reach the main places of this valley

04 January 2013What a fantastic Holiday!!!!!!!!!!
I would just like to say a big thank you to Jane, Dave, Maria & Peluche for a fantastic holiday. We?ve never been on a chalet holiday before so we did not know what to expect. Jane, Dave and Maria made us feel so welcome during our stay and the meals were delicious with plenty of servings.
The service was brilliant, Jane and Dave, would take us to the gondola station and come up with us; ski with us until lunch and then leave us to spend the afternoon on our own. When we were ready to come home, we would ring them before we got in the gondola and by time we go down the mountain, they would be waiting outside for us in the van to take us back to the chalet.
As for the skiing in Pila... it was fabulous. The sun was shining, the runs were clear and there were plenty of affordable restaurants to choose from for lunch and have a cheeky hot toddy.... I recommend a ?vino caldo? (mulled wine) or a ?bombardino? (Advocaat with spirits served hot with whipped cream on top).....delicious!!!!!!
This was my 4th Skiing holiday and I can handle most red runs. I?m probably at an intermediate level but have definitely picked up a few bad habits along the way. Jane, Dave and Maria, gave me skiing lessons every morning to help improve my technique. I learnt so much from them that my skiing has come along a treat. At the end of the holiday I was able to pirouette all the way round and even attempted my first black run (which I successfully completed without falling over).
Dave is an advance snowboarder and he loved Pila, especially because it had a half pipe and a snowboard park that he could practice his jumps on.
We love skiing in Italy and have been to Cervinia 3 times. This was our first visit to Pila and we really enjoyed it as it was not as cold as Cervinia and I preferred the scenery as it had plenty of tree lined runs compared to Cervinia that does not have any.
We had a fabulous week with JDSKI and have recommended them to all our friends and family. We hope to take a few more family members with us next time and will definitely be booking up for next year.

3 - 10 March 2013Had a fantastic week with David, Jane, Maria & Lewis and of course Peluche?..had chosen Pila as a resort after Charlie had visited the previous season on a school ski trip. Had a few concerns over the size of the area for myself but can honestly say never felt like I was just skiing the same runs over and over.
We had everything from glorious sunshine to a few days of white outs but every day was great!
David, Jane & the team were great, nothing was too much trouble and the instruction especially with little Alfie ? just 8 and skiing for the first time, who in the space of 24 hours went from being like Bambi on ice to racing down reds and blues determined to be faster than the rest of us!
The food was delicious and even got the kids eating a few things they would have turned their noses up at home.
Lewis very kindly gave Alfie a little ?BASI? badge as a parting gift which he now has as pride of place wanting to be a ?ski instructor? when he grows up!!
All in all a great week and we will be back!

The weather was perfect, Pila the skiresort was a nice surprice and your hospitality made everything to a very nice package. And you also have some very nice customers that was the cherry on the top. Hope to see you soon again. Per & Christina
