"One of the main and liveliest squares in Bormio. Surrounded by historic buildings, small shops, and cafés that are perfect for a break—especially when the weather’s nice. A fountain stands in the center, and the nearby Torre delle Ore adds charm to the setting. Piazza Cavour has long been the heart of public life—hosting markets, celebrations, and gatherings. Today, it’s an ideal spot to pause, relax, and soak in the atmosphere of the old town. If you want to experience Bormio beyond the slopes, start right here. :)"

"It lasted 1h to get a wine and 1.5h to get first bite of food. I am relaxed when food is taking longer but this is not a good service. Chaotic Service forgot a few meals and took too long. Food was good and that is the sad part, i cannot give more the 2 stars"
