I was here on business. The hotel itself is in a scenic valley, but don't expect views or the massive peaks from the hotel. It's a short, and very convenient bus ride into Ortesei from the hotel, and from Ortesei you can hike up to some amazing viewpoints, or, if you're pressed for time, there are 3 gondolas that will whisk you to the top, and you can hike further up from there, or back down to Ortesei.
The staff and Hotel Pontives were extremely friendly and helpful. The onsite restaurant served up good pasta dishes and the salad bar was a welcome treat. Breakfast was also very ample, with a wide variety of options to choose from.
One of the attached photos is from the deck of my room; the other is from the top of the Mt. Seuc Gondola, out of Ortesei.
