Lou Creton DI Luì - Hostel

“On our travel through Aosta Valley we found this place by chance, And it was a great surprise! Andrea, the Host of Ostello Lou Créton di Lui is a great guy with allot of knowledge about the area and of Aosta Valley as a whole. Make sure to ask him about his recommendations of resturants and things to see in the nerby area. He provides exellent service in this beautiful hostel in a historic setting. Pontboset is a hidden gem tucked away high up on the steap mountain side. Walking the village at night was like being thrown back to the middle ages. The surrounding area is also exeptionally beautiful, great for hiking.”

“Andrea is a wonderful, knowledgeable host. His property is a gem, alongside its location (a small village facing the mountains). First thing we did when we arrived was taking a long walk through the village and around the stream up towards the mountain (about an hour long through the woods, Andrea will give you all directions). We headed back to find super clean, tidy, warm and modern rooms and toilettes. His clientele is easy and delightful as well, and the place is so near to the astonishingly beautiful Parc Mont Avic. A place to come back to each season of the year.”

“Good location uphill above Bard in an older village, cheap and good breakfast, nicely refurbished house. Helpful owner. We stayed for one night only as sleepover.”

“This was a wonderful place to stay on our stopover during a walk through the Gran Paradiso. Our host was so friendly and helpful in giving us directions. I would highly recommend this place to anyone staying between Pont Saint Martin and Chardonney.”

“The owner and his little dachshund Emma were both so kind. The little dog made me smile. The hotel was in the most wonderful village. The local cafe was great. We ate lunch with locals - it was delicious. I would go back here again happily. Great hikes right from the house. Bikes (electric and old school) available to rent. Charming village. Beautiful scenery. Really interesting local history - castles, palaces, fortresses, magic bridges.”
