The hotel is some way from Cortina d'Ampezzo so no good if you want to be in or near the town centre, however this means it benefits from being in a quiet environment where you can appreciate the tranquility and appreciate the spectacular backdrop of the Dolomites. The rooms were basic but clean and reasonably well appointed, we were at the back of the hotel and had a narrow balcony with views of the mountain behind. At night we slept with the balcony door open and the peace and quiet meant we had a fabulous night's sleep. The hotel staff were polite, helpful and friendly and the building, although somewhat dated, had a special charm clearly dating back to much earlier years with a large, traditional lounge and open log fire which would be very warm and welcoming for those holidaying in the winter months, which we weren't as we were on a motorcycle touring holiday in June. Clearly well used by motorcyclists and cyclists alike,it is well placed for Passo di Giau, infact it is on the main road out of Cortina d'Ampezzo en route to the famous pass and well placed to sit and have an evening beer or two whilst watching passing vehicles coming and going past the hotel front. We ate at the hotel bar restaurant which was of a good standard and reasonably priced - all in all Hotel Villa Argentina is a lovely hotel offering good value for money, with a fantastic aspect and large enough (free) car park to cater for everyone and comes highly recommended for your stay in the Dolomites.
