A quick google suggests that's a hotel in/near Canazei. Not an area I'm hugely familiar with, but the piste map looks full of red runs.
For a beginner, Corvara or Colfosco are excellent places to stay: the beginner slopes at Colfosco are excellent, and you've got easy access to miles of blue runs on the Pralongia plateau. La Villa would also be a good place to stay, again because of the easy access to the Pralongia plateau. There are also enough reds to keep more advanced skiiers entertained, and the odd black scattered around.
Our annual family trip is nearly always to Corvara, quite simply because nowhere has been as good in terms of accommodating all the requirements of a mixed ability group. I learned to ski on the Pralngia plateau, and so have several other people that have been part of our varying group over the years.
And it's stunningly beautiful, and the food's splendid.
