B&B la Maison de Grand Maman

Wij hebben deze woning als gezin met twee tienerzonen een hele week gehuurd en heel erg genoten van ons verblijf. Je kan er ook verblijven in B&B formule. De woning is voorzien van alle comfort en heel kunstzinnig ingericht met het prachtige houtsnijwerk van de eigenaar Massimiliano. We hebben heerlijke bergwandelingen gemaakt in de prachtige natuur in park Gran Paradiso en Mont Avic. Massimiliano was zo vriendelijk om ons op twee wandelingen te vergezellen en om een beetje van zijn uitgebreide kennis over de natuur, bloemen en planten met ons te delen. Een absolute aanrader !

We were greeted and welcomed by the landlord who made us feel at home straight away. The house on two floors is incredibly charming and warm entirely fitted with hand carved wood yet modern and functional in all services. I definitely recommend it!

Everything was absolutely great. Surroundings are beautiful-plenty of treks: easy and more strenghous. Few restaurants in the village. Very nice private garden near the house. The owner is extremelly helpful and kind-he arranged everything for our little daughter and baked us fresh bread every morning! Really enjoyed the stay!

Your host Massimiliano is a wood carver who has carefully restored his ancestral home with careful detail. The main floor is divided into a large well-equipped eat in kitchen, a large dining room, and a bathroom with laundry. Upstairs there are two suites that close off for privacy, each with two bedrooms and a full bathroom. There is a small balcony with a beautiful view, as well as a small garden with an outdoor table. All the furniture is wood carved and the decoration has a welcoming Aosta Alpine feel. Massimiliano provides a sumptuous breakfast of highest quality local foods, with yogurts, focaccia, a fruit tart, breads and many jams. The Champorcher Valley was absolutely stunning. Massimiliano took us out for a two hour introductory hike the afternoon of our arrival, during which we learned about the local history and geography. He suggested two magnificent and very different day long hikes for the next two days. It surprised us how few people were on these beautiful trails, mostly Italian hikers, a few French. On the first hike we climbed through a pass and saw the Italian side of the Matterhorn, and a series of beautiful Alpine Lakes, passing by two Refugios. On the next day's hike the high meadows put us in a Sound of Music mood, and the return was through a spectacular canyon. Massimiliano is a gracious, attentive and very available host, proud of his home and heritage, who patiently answered our many questions and made our stay very comfortable. We would all gladly return for more exploration of the Champorcher Valley.
