There’s something about mountain scenery that is good for the spirits. For travellers who love the open air and a healthy lifestyle, the open skies and distant peaks of Italy can feel like a release from daily cares and a call to participate in nature’s generosity. La Torretta ****, in sight of Europe’s highest peaks, captures the charm of the open hills, the love of nature so close to the heart of even the most confirmed city dweller, and a true rustic charm almost deceptive in its apparent simplicity.
The little gem that is La Torretta **** lies in the heart of the Aosta Valley, a small piece of Italy nestled between France and Switzerland in the landscape famous for the Matterhorn, Mont Blanc and the Gran Paradiso National Park. This is the land where it is still possible to see chamois, ibex, marmots and eagles in their natural habitat.
True to the traditions of local architecture, this intimate Alpine-style hotel is built in traditional style with rustic wood-panelled rooms and unique locally produced artworks, creating a delightful atmosphere. The hotel follows a family tradition that began in the 1920s but has now been brought up to date with modern amenities, so you can enjoy contemporary standards alongside the authentic rustic charm of the building and its surroundings.
Nature-lovers will truly appreciate the hotel restaurant’s approach to local cuisine: there are zero-kilometre options as well as vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices, all in a unique blend of traditional and contemporary culinary styles. The surroundings recreate the ambience of a mountain refuge, with stone walls, a larch fireplace, sumptuous warm curtains and ancient wooden furniture, all given a new role in life and creating an intimate and serene experience.
By the time you’ve settled in to your room at La Torretta ****, enjoyed the restaurant experience and checked out the luxuries of the Spa, a fresh you will now be ready to greet the spirit of the mountains!
