My husband and I spent one night here on our way from Venice to Burgundy. It seems as though it was the best choice in the area however it won’t go down as one of my favorite hotels. That is due to my quirky tastes, however, and not because there is much wrong here. I was expecting more of an authentic Swiss-like farmhouse but it’s really a purpose-built hotel with identical rooms along several floors of corridors. There are woodsy touches but it’s basically cookie-cutter with surprisingly small, dated bathrooms. The lobby, however is very interesting. The furniture is upholstered in a bright apple print…LOTS of it…and antique farm tools and implements are lovingly displayed everywhere. We were sorry there wasn’t a restaurant. We walked up the road to a neighborhood place, pleasantly packed with local families but it wasn’t the relaxing dining experience we were anticipating. However breakfast was quite a feast, with a splendid array of almost everything you could imagine in a European morning buffet. Internet service was touch and go. Aosta, in general, does not seem to be quick to reveal it’s charms.
