The house, inherited from my grandfather, completely restored by my father and I have decided to open a B&B providing guests two bedrooms with their own bathroom with towels;
an equipped kitchen where breakfast is served.

The B&B is located in a small, mid-mountain village (650m.) along the Via Francigena, where you can enjoy a splendid view of the mountains and the central valley. We are 15 minutes from the city of Aosta and within half an hour up to an hour you can reach the most beautiful places in the area and the beautiful side valleys.

The lady who runs La Mandorla was super nice. We didn't have enough cash to pay for everything, she drove us to the local ATM.

This is Marilena's house, which she has arranged as a cozy hostel for more than twenty years. In fact, we felt as if it were the house of a relative. It was the perfect space for us to disconnect a bit, rest (listening to the birds!) and admire the landscape, which is very beautiful from the upper room. It is important to highlight the excellent breakfast she prepared for us: Italian coffee, fresh bread, cheese, even cake and yogurt made by her! I think it is one of the best, if not the best, of the places where we stayed in Europe. To avoid false expectations, this is NOT the place to come to: watch television, have a bar at hand, or a restaurant or a supermarket. (I read some ridiculous reviews around). I do not know if Marilena also prepares meals, but it could be... in any case, it is also possible to leave things in her refrigerator and there is a kitchen that could be available (you have to ask). How to get there from Aosta: without having our own transportation, it was the biggest issue for us, who were backpacking. One option is to walk. The other, which we used, was a bus (#473 at 13:35 or 16:15 from Aosta bus station, for €1.5) towards Quart, get off at Chantignan and walk along the strange path marked on the map (about 15 minutes). Another option is to take the bus to Serán. Marilena can provide more details. The good thing is that the location on Google Maps is well marked. As other useful information, there is wifi and you also have your own bathroom with towels, soap, shampoo... Thank you Marilena, it was brief but we enjoyed our stay!

Nothing to complain about the structure and the great availability of Mrs. Marilena. The place is isolated and you almost move only by car. Surely, if you are looking for tranquility, this is the right place.

This is an apartment with two bedrooms and two bathrooms (to access the bathroom you have to exit the room and walk through the small landing). Everything is in Val d'Aosta style, perhaps a bit "agè". The owner was very kind and prepared hot drinks and toast for us while we had breakfast (personally, I would have felt more comfortable if she had then left us alone). Breakfast with fresh bread, a small apple dessert, and, for the rest, packaged products. The apartment is on a hill, about ten minutes from the main road, at the top of a rather winding road, and offers a spectacular view of the mountains in front. Two recommendations: find a way to put an electrical outlet in the bathroom because it lacks one and... use fabric softener when washing towels and sheets because they were really hard :)

Cozy, spacious room in a very quiet location. Very convenient private bathroom on the same floor. Excellent reception. The only downside may be the somewhat steep location, but it also has its advantages: stunning views and lots of tranquility. Recommended!

Our host Marilena was incredibly kind and welcoming. She spoke Italian and French and was always in a good mood. The location was perfect in the Aosta Valley, with a fantastic view of the Italian Alps. The breakfast was fine, tasty toasted bread, delicious coffee (even cappuccino!) a nice local sausage and cheese, but unfortunately no eggs or fruit.

Hey, I'm Marilena

My name is Marilena, I run the B & B flanked by my son Michel. I do not like to write about me because it embarrasses me a lot, but having to write my own personal profile can say I'm a simple person, I love my little house and I host with pleasure, in a familiar environment, without being intrusive. Passionate about gardening, floriculture and hiking in the area, are at your disposal for any need or request, to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

Area Collina

The b & b is located in the municipality of Quart which in Latin means: Quartum lapidem that place to the fourth milestone from Aosta.
The most prominent of this town is certainly the castle, the oldest part was built in 1185. The castle suffered, at different times, several transformations. The castle is still undergoing restoration can not be visited at the end of the work will host the Valle d'Aosta Ethnographic museum.
In the Villair you find the Mater Misericordiae of the Discalced Carmelites. The monastery is one of the spiritual in the itineraries of faith in Valle d'Aosta. On the inside, from, the considerable relief that adorns the altar representing the crucifixion and carved from the trunk of a lime tree.
In Vollein, a quaint village in the Quart hills, in 1968 discovered the remains of a neolithic necropolis, which represent, according to archaeologists, the first traces of human settlement in Valle d'Aosta.
