The Ancient Barn

A vacation out of the ordinary, 20 minutes away from the town of Aosta, tucked in a valley indeed untouched by the usual touristic itineraries. You are in Valle d’Aosta, where the most imposing mountains of Europe rise to over 4.000 meters. This location looks like no other, reached through a small road across the woods inhabited by deer, roebucks, foxes and squirrels, drive slowly if you want to encounter them. The awesome 150 year old barn brought back to a new life by the owner - a designer that believes in respecting time and history - today has become a shelter where materials reign and live together: authentic stone, rough iron, warm concrete and antique wood. A dip into the past, yes, but surrounded by comfortable pleasures like a fireplace, a large veranda over the meadows, a fully equipped kitchen, a bed suspended on the mezzanine. At night large windows frame millions of stars and brush strokes of warm light caress the wooden beamed ceilings. The view is beautiful over nearby and far away mountains, trees and fields - that are green, flowery, multicolor or white, according to the seasons - an alpine pasture just above. Welcome to this refuge where time has a different meaning, for a special vacation that can become even more special in the small private SPA with sauna, chromatic Jacuzzi pool and unique emotional shower.
