Frazione Chateigne, - PONTBOSET (AO)
In the enchanting setting of the Champorcher Valley, in Pontboset, Li Tzatagni welcomes guests to a place where time seems to stand still. This establishment is the result of a thoughtful renovation of two ancient houses in the village of La Chateigne, surrounded by lush nature that tells stories of agricultural life. Here, where chestnuts, potatoes, and rye were once grown, the centuries-old chestnut trees now embrace the home, filling the days with the rustling of leaves and the songs of birds.
The spaces have been restored with respect and care for the history of the place. The old barn has been transformed into a cozy breakfast room, while the former feeding troughs have become the structure for the beds. The original woods, expertly crafted, and the exposed stone evoke tradition, making every corner authentic and inviting. All rooms feature independent entrances, ensuring privacy and freedom of movement, allowing for self check-in and check-out. Each morning, breakfast is placed at the door, offering guests a slow and private awakening.
Environmental awareness is an integral part of the hospitality: soaps and breakfasts are locally sourced, linens are washed on-site with eco-friendly detergents, and the entire facility is equipped with low-impact energy systems. This commitment has been recognized with the quality mark of the Mont Avic Park, reflecting a sustainable philosophy that also engages guests during their stay.
The terraced gardens showcase the changing seasons, from the first snowdrops to spring dandelions, through the lush greenery of summer and the warm autumn hues, when spiky chestnut shells open among the leaves. In winter, the quiet snow transforms the landscape into a muffled painting. Here, among loungers, armchairs, and small tables, guests can surrender to the silence of nature, read, work, or simply listen to the voice of the chestnut trees, the true guardians of this corner of the world.
