Aosta Valley - The Italian Alps

Aosta Valley is Italy's smallest region and is located at the heart of the Alps, nestled between France and Switzerland. Most of the region is mountainous so, if you're looking for a skiing or hiking holiday in Italy, a holiday rental in the Aosta Valley is the best possible option.

Mountain sports aren't all Aosta Valley has to offer, however. The outstanding scenery can be enjoyed by all and is peppered with extraordinary cultural monuments of its long history such as the fairytale castles of Saint-Pierre and Fénis and Ancient Roman ruins such as the Pretorian Gate.

The cuisine of Aosta Valley is characterised by simplicity and the use of robust ingredients like potatoes and polenta. Many dishes include the region's distinctive Fontina cheese which has been awarded PDO status. Notable wines include two white wines from Morgex and reds from Arvier and Gamay.

Whether you like to spend holidays wandering museums, sampling local cuisine, photographing everything in sight or getting active, you can have it all with a villa rental in Aosta Valley.
