Great B&B, beautiful spacious and clean rooms, very kind manager, abundant and excellent breakfast. Quite close to the ski lift departure: 5 minutes by car or with the skibus and in the center of the village.

We had a lovely stay at La Niche in March during a ski trip. Great stay with a lovely host. The property has 3 guest rooms in a modern house. The room was perfectly clean and had all the facilities needed. A highlight was the breakfast that included freshly baked bread and local food from the valley. This B&B is highly recommended. 10/10.

Monica and Gian Luca are two wonderful people. They made us feel at home. Our little dog could roam everywhere. We spent a wonderful week. Thank you again and see you soon.

I would start without hesitation with the managers: their courtesy, availability, and friendliness are nothing short of spectacular! The room is cozy, warm, and functional in every corner, and the bathroom products are wonderful, which is not a given! And we come to the breakfast that completes the picture: homemade bread, brioche, and especially D.O.P. Valdostan ham and cheeses, yogurt, fruit, in short, there is something for everyone's taste and in abundance! It was practically a perfect stay!

Beautiful structure, excellent breakfast, very kind owners who are available for any request. The enchanting place is immersed in silence and offers a breathtaking view; the room with a large garden allows you to enjoy the panorama of the valley and the mountains. We spent a wonderful week. Thank you.

I stayed two nights with my daughter and we had a great time. The structure is new, very clean and with excellent bathroom products (shower gel, shampoo, conditioner). The owner was very kind regarding every request about excursions and restaurants. Always available fruit, beverages (juices, yogurt, tea, coffee).

If it weren't for the fact that I had already stayed here once, I would have thought the structure had just been built. The rooms are immaculate and spotless, equipped with every comfort such as many outlets to charge various digital devices simultaneously, a bathroom with high-quality body products inspired by mountain scents, a large window that floods the room with light and gives direct access to a small garden with tables reserved for guests. The owners are very friendly and helpful, Monica is generous with information about trekking routes and local events. The structure is very modern but with an authentic charm, the location is great because it's close to the center but much less busy. The breakfast is excellent, both sweet and savory. Lastly, but not least important to me, dogs are allowed and even without an extra charge. Rating eleven.

Chosen for the excellent reviews, fully confirmed, it is a slightly decentralized structure compared to the center of the town, but within walking distance of everything, which I consider a plus. Large, fresh, and clean room with a splendid view. Excellent breakfast. Very kind and helpful managers, generous with advice and information. When we return to La Thuile and need to find a place to stay, it will certainly be our first choice.

Wonderful Bed and Breakfast in a nearly central location in La Thuile. We had a great time finding everything we need in a very comfortable structure. Monica, the host, is exceptionally kind and always available. The breathtaking scenery and the beauty of Valle D'Aosta frame it all. I recommend this lovely property.

Structure located in an enchanting position, perfectly integrated into the mountain environment despite the owners' attention to new eco-sustainability technologies. Exceptional cleanliness and rooms equipped with every comfort. Welcoming owners, available, ready to meet guests' needs. Varied and abundant breakfast. Quiet and relaxing environment. Excellent value for money. Stay to recommend. We will definitely come back.

A wonderful place to stay for a ski holiday! Gian Luca and his wife are fabulous hosts - friendly, helpful and great breakfast! They had some great suggestions also for places to eat. Nice to have access to tea and coffee etc at all times. The rooms are spotless and well looked after. The place is tucked away in a quiet corner - but perfect location for the shuttle bus or the shortcut down the slope to the gondola. I also really like that it's not a huge hotel, much more a family vibe with a few rooms. Would definitely stay again!

It was a great experience staying at La Niche, Monika and Jean Luca were very helpful even before we arrived, answering questions and giving valuable advice related to our ski vacation. The room was clean and the beds very comfortable. The breakfast was amazing with eggs, cheese, and fresh homemade bread made by Jean Luca. I'm sure we are going to come back again sometime in the future.

We had a great stay at La Niche. The owners are super friendly and welcoming and are a source of information about the area. It was really nice that you can use the common room and grab coffee and tea as much as you want. Breakfast was great with fresh fruit every day, ham, bacon, and eggs if you like. The room had a great view and was cleaned every day. After night 3, even the bed was changed, lovely! From us, La Niche gets a big 10.
