Visit Saint-Pierre Castle - The Prettiest In The Valle D'Aosta

Italy is utterly inundated by beautiful, fairy-tale castles in the most picturesque of settings. Yet, in the Aosta Valley, or Valle D'Aosta, in the north-west of Italy, there is one that particularly stands out and must be among the most lovely. Saint-Pierre Castle in the town of Saint-Pierre rises above the rest of the town on a little rocky outcrop at the centre of the valley. It is the first thing that your eyes are drawn to upon entering the area and offers wonderful views all around. The castle itself looks like something pulled right from the pages of your favourite childhood tale or from the frames of a Disney movie. If you find a vacation rental in Valle D'Aosta, you can stop by the charming little town and see this dream-like building for yourself.

Have you been thinking of planning a ski break in Italy’s ski region in 2024?

Do you want to really do it right?

Well, once you have secured your vacation rental in Italy and you’re on your way, all that’s left to do is to properly enjoy the excellent ski lifestyle that is on offer in Italy.

An integral part of this experience is warming up after a day on the slopes with a hot drink or an alcoholic drink... or both! The bombardino is a classic winter warmer from Italy and here is how you can make it at home while you look forward to your trip...

Mont Blanc stands on the French-Italian border between the Val d'Aosta in Italy and Chamonix in France. It is the tallest mountain in the Alps and most only admire its immense beauty from the surrounding resorts. However, it is not actually that difficult, comparatively, to reach the summit. One should take in its majesty as a whole from a distance but actually reaching its towering peaks is a completely different experience. If you want to discover this great natural beauty for yourself, just find a vacation rental in the Val D'Aosta and pencil in some time for the mighty mountain that several countries fight to lay claim to.

For those less mobile, less actively inclined or who might be a little worried about undertaking this behemoth, fear not! You can take the cable cars from Courmayeur to Chamonix and take in the fantastic views en-route.

While picture-perfect colourful seaside towns, the gentle rolling hills and golden scenery of Tuscany and Umbria, and the grand cities of Rome and Florence are some of the images that predominate in our collective imaginings of Italy, the wilder and more dramatic views of Italy’s varied landscapes are equally captivating. Particularly, in the north, where the Alps tower overhead, Italy affords some truly breath-taking and awe-inspiring scenery. These glimpses of the sublime, of nature at its most unchecked, untamed, and wild, offer the perfect chance to escape the mundane, refresh your eyes, and wonder at the majesty of the world. And, one of the best examples of a place to take in such views and scenes is the Gran Paradiso National Park, which can be visited if you book one of our vacation rentals in Aosta Valley or holiday rentals in Piedmont.

The smallest region in Italy, Aosta Valley is nestled right in the heart of the Alps between Switzerland and France, and is a stunning destination for a mountain escape. All year round it is a place of incredible natural beauty that is ideal for a peaceful holiday but we do highly recommend a cosy fall getaway in the region in particular as it is a truly magical time to enjoy a vacation rental in the Aosta Valley...

If summer in Italy (and, increasingly, everywhere else) is about the aperitivo, then the winter in Italy is about the digestivo. Consumed after a meal, to aid digestion, this tradition can be indulged in whenever you wish but is particularly suited to the colder months, when we are all likely to eat meals that are a little heartier in order to keep the chill away.

Grappa and the Aosta Valley

One of the most famous digestivi in Italy also comes from one of the best destinations in Italy for a winter break: grappa from the Aosta Valley. The smallest region in Italy, ringed by the rugged and romantic snow-capped peaks of the Alps, and dotted with adorable towns and ski resorts, this is the perfect place to escape to for magical winter scenery, charming Christmas markets, delicious and warming meals, and some of the best grappa in the world. Just browse our incredible range of holiday rentals in Aosta Valley and come experience this winter wonderland for yourself!
