Le Reve Charmant

We had a very warm welcome, and due to an error with Booking.com it appears there was a duplication, because two rooms were booked in our name, however the receptionist understood the problem, and arranged that, even at the last moment, one of the bookings was cancel without charge. The receptionist was very helpful and friendly. The hotel centrally located and the room very comfortable. Our first visit to Aosta, but if we were come again, Le Reve Charmant would be our first choice.

What is not to like!!!!

Beautiful little hotel with a warm welcome

Nothing

Cutely decorated boutique hotel, part classy rustic, part kitsch, very cozy. Tatiana, a Byelorussian immigrant and former language teacher who is fluent in Italian, French, English, Russian and obviously her native tongue, acts as receptionist, cashier and breakfast chef, and is a very friendly and pleasant, well-educated lady. She was a real asset to our stay, very knowledgeable about local attractions and events. Breakfast is plentyful, the first day we had an added veggie tart, the second a torta della nonna like in Tuscany.

All five rooms have windows on the street below. We had room no. 24 (apparently the biggest according to the fire escape floor plan in our room) and the street lamp shines all night right into the room even with the curtain drawn. Blinds or shutters would have been appreciated. If you sleep with an open window, light sleepers do well to use earplugs because though the street is open to local traffic only, without them you'll hear people chatting and cars passing. Also, the many light switches are initially a bit confusing until we figured out which switch corresponds to which light. The property has three underground parkings about 10' away (EUR 5.00/night currently) which means you'll need to carry your luggage to and from the hotel.

i loved the building, wood everywhere, classical furniture etc. the position was good, close to all amenities.

mainly it was cold. the heating went off at 6pm and didn’t come on again till we left the next day. i tried adjusting the thermostat, but nothing!! i slept in the bathrobe all night. the junior suite had a sauna, sadly this smelt so bad we could use it or use the shower due to the smell. The sink didn’t have a functional plug, so it was impossible to fill the sink. the phone adapter was so old it wouldnt fit modern phones so you couldn’t play music. the bed whilst large and comfortable had poor quality pillows, like flat pancakes. small things that need addressing.The lounge area was nice but again cold. no fire lit and unwelcoming.
