Great old property in a charming village - so easy for Courmayeur, and loads of character
Stayed in UK half term and whilst not deserted, a great alternative to the crowded French slopes at this time. Courmayeur is 10 mins away with a bus stop close. But car is easier if you have one. That said there is a lift a few hundred meters away - easy down hill walk. I suggest any ski rentals be done at the top of this lift - where you can store them. House was full of character and as 2 families with 4 children we enjoyed cosy nights in. Down stairs is full of character and lovely to cook and sit around. Upstairs is more challenged for space for 2 families but the boys loved there ‘2nd floor den’. The large cellar helps with storage. With it being older and full of character expect the occasional glitch but nothing to worry about. Angelica the owner was super helpful and responsive- but only needed to ask her help once. Roads are narrow and parking is a challenge in the village - but we managed. Some great eateries close to the house - one only a few meters away. But most nights we enjoyed staying in and cooking - it’s easy to eat In Courmayeur after skiing or go back for the evening - one of the buses run late into the night. If you want to feel you are holidaying in a traditional Italian Alps village and house, then this is the place for you. The chalet host was flexible on how we could arrange the bedrooms but in reality there is only one double. The other 3 have bunks, with one of them an option to have a double mattress o a kind of mezzanine- but not great for (older) adults. Overall the house offers great value accommodation in the middle of fantastic village and mountain scenery. Really relaxing and easily accessible to Courmayeur town and ski area - we didn’t use the local lift until the last day so be sure to check it out earlier in your stay.
