Gignod Vacation Rental

Terra Alpina is a 19th century farmhouse that was completely rebuilt in 2007-2008 and converted into six luxury apartments. The apartments are 60 m2 - 70 m2 each and all feature excellent bathrooms (many with en-suite) and kitchens. All apartments have either a balcony or a small private garden, together with shared access to a communal garden of 1.5 acres. Even by the standards of the Alps, the views are spectacular. Terra Alpina is located above the village of Gignod, 15 minutes drive from the city of Aosta in the direction of Switzerland. In winter, it is convenient for the major ski resorts of Pila (20 minutes), Courmayeur and La Thuile (45 minutes) and Cervina, Monte Rosa and Verbier (all under one hour). In summer, it is surrounded by beautiful walking country (the major hiking route from western Italy to Switzerland passes 300 metres from Terra Alpina), it is two kilometres from the area's only 18 hole golf club and many other outdoor activities are close by.

Flat 3 benefits from a spectacular, south-facing conservatory which provides fabulous views of the mountains - it is even possible to see right over the valley to the resort of Pila. It also has one double-bedroom and two large sofabeds in the combined lounge/dining area. As well as the conservatory, it has a balcony overlooking the valley. The lounge/conservatory gives a huge open-plan living space which is larger than the entire ground area of many entire holiday apartments. The south-facing conservatory also opens directly on to the garden, while the east-facing lounge opens up on to a first-floor balcony.
