We stayed there in January, it was a truly splendid stay. The hotel is located in the area of 'La Palud', a fraction of Courmayeur, right under Mont Blanc and in front of the cable car that leads to the Torino Vecchio refuge at an altitude of 3375 m above sea level. In 2015 it will reach Punta Helbronner at an altitude of 3462 m above sea level and from there to Chamonix in France. In front, there is a large free parking lot (in winter), always kept clean by snowplow vehicles. The hotel is managed by Elena and Vittorio, who welcomed us wonderfully. Inside, there is a warm, welcoming atmosphere made of small cozy and relaxing corners, enveloped in silence and a hint of magic. We opted for the Mini mansard double room (number 10): a dollhouse room, small (even the little window), but complete, where everything is carefully arranged in its place. Upon our arrival, every morning, we were greeted by Vittorio's smile, who prepared us excellent cappuccino. The breakfast is a buffet with every variety of delicacies: 4 types of jams, Nutella, cereals, 2 types of yogurt, butter, brioche, cold cuts, cheeses, white and black bread, and toasted bread. In the afternoon, after our walks, we would sit in one of the 2 living rooms furnished in mountain chalet style, where we sipped excellent hot chocolate while reading one of the many books available for visitors. For dinner, there is a restaurant next door; you can access it in a 'convenient' way (reservation made by the hotel) with a fixed-price menu, but also freely and with a slightly higher cost; even here there is a warm welcome, generous and tasty dishes. We will certainly return as soon as possible because it turned out to be an excellent accommodation. We sincerely recommend it.
