We were two Americans spending our last five days in this beautiful part of the NW Aosta Valley, after the Dolomites. The half-board rate was good value, and the location was so convenient, with a walk score of 97. A couple of shops, a pharmacy, bank, and gelato ice cream shop are literally across the road. The ski shuttle driver takes you up to the Val Tournenche base. From there, ski to Zermatt from the 6 pack chair Gran Sometta. The Swiss side was closed for the first two days due to avis, which was a drag, but everything reopened on day three. Dinner was excellent, and the chef was amazing. Alessandro, the proprietor's husband and our sommelier, made the evenings even better. Ask him about the local regional wines, he loves explaining them. Breakfast was top notch, with enough for everyone in our party. We also loved the homey bar and its little pub atmosphere each evening. A special mention to Valentina, a gracious and caring hostess, and to her wonderful golden retriever, Charlie. The two Saras, one of whom is the sister, and the dining staff, especially Tonya, were lovely too. We’ll be back with friends next year. Thanks for a memorable stay!
