B&B Macapé

Silvano and Piera made us feel part of their little community, with help from their cheerful grandchildren Gabriele, Paolo, and Anna. Their beautiful rascard in the quiet, picturesque hamlet of La Ville is full of comforts, and Silvano has restored it with real care. The warmth and passion here made our stay feel special. Macapé is a lovely stop in peaceful Chamois.

Piera's breakfast is homemade, local, and wonderfully authentic. Her jams and the chocolates shaped like footprints didn't make it into the photo, so we'll have to come back with people we love. Staying here feels like visiting an aunt's home you never knew you had. You take your shoes off at the door, just as the name suggests, and Silvano has shaped the place with real heart into a thoughtful expression of mountain culture. It's a distinctive experience, best suited to individualists with a little dreamer in them.

The balcony looked out across the valley, which made every morning brighter, and breakfast in the shared room set us up for walks on Chamois's beautiful trails. There were four of us, staying in the B&B's largest room. The rascard had been renovated two years earlier and was both comfortable and full of character. Silvano and Piera, along with their family, were kind and helpful hosts who made us feel at home. We had a wonderful holiday and hope to return!

Chamois is so peaceful, and staying in Silvano and Piera's rascard was enchanting. Still, the upper floor has been restored with so little separation that we wondered how sharing its small rooms with other guests would feel. Respecting the rural architecture may be at odds with fitting in more people than the space can really accommodate. And there's no bidet.
