Photos and Description of the Gignod vacation rental 2 bedroom apartments, sleeping six,in the mountains above the city of Aosta

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.

Details for Flat 4 2 Bedrooms, Sleeps 6, 2 Bathrooms

Flat 4 has two large bedrooms on two levels. The lower one has twin beds and a walk-in wardrobe plus access to the balcony. The upper one has a double bed and an en-suite bathroom with a shower. The upper bedroom also has large picture windows facing both the Aosta valley and the Swiss border, giving spectacular views on two sides. There is also a kitchen/lounge/dining room with a sofabed on the lower level plus the main bathroom. Outside there is shared use of the 6000 m2 garden. Please note: there is a spiral staircase to the upper bedroom, so care must be taken with small children.

Location: Valle d'Aosta < Italy

Nearest Airport: Turin at 125 Kilometres
Nearest Train: Aosta at 13 Kilometres
Gignod is 15 minutes from the city of Aosta. Aosta has more Roman ruins than any city in Europe outside Rome, and has been the gateway to the Alps for 2000 years. It is full of historic buildings as well as great shops and restaurants. Gignod itself is on the main road to Switzerland, the St. Bernard Pass. Terra Alpina is surrounded by spectacular mountain peaks and has plenty of amenities for summer holidays. There is great walking, mountain biking, a local golf course plus white water rafting close to Aosta. In winter, the closest major ski resort is Pila, 20 minutes away, but there are five other international resorts within one hour, from Verbier to Courmayeur. There are also small local resorts such as Crevacol, within 20 minutes drive, that give you the chance to sample the charms of skiing way from the crowds. It is also possible to ski from Switzerland (Super St. Bernard) back into Italy - a spectacular and little-known run.

Chalet in The Clouds

mailmanwill Quebec
Review Submitted: September 28, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
First time in Aosta Valley and it won't be the last! Spectacular scenery in a setting that will take your breath away. As a family we love to hike and there are trails for all levels of fitness. We hiked up to Pte. Chaligne from the chalet. It has panoramic views of the valley. Walk from St Rhemy to the Great St. Bernard Pass and take your picture with a Saint Bernard dog on the Swiss side. Explore the Roman ruins in Aosta where to our surprise you will find beautiful cobblestone streets with reasonably priced restaurants. A car is a must to explore the Valley and nerves of steel to navigate some of the roads but it is one place we will never forget and will return as soon as possible!
Owner's Response: I am certainly very happy to endorse these comments - all our renters are amazed at the views from Terra Alpina. We think it looks good in the photographs, but the reality still comes as a surprise. I would not worry too much about the driving - this renter is from the land of giant highways. By the standards of southern Italy, Aosta is Switzerland when it comes to driving - drivers even stop at pedestrian crossings!
