Le Coffret

Wow what a wonderful place. We were treated so well. The rooms are ultra modern but the the outside history has been maintained. As I understand this house has been in the family for generations and was converted to first class accommodation. You can see the love and care put in to the place in everywhere you look. The owner even gave us a lift to the restaurant we had booked to save us any trouble. Breakfast was local produce and home baked. Car park was excellent albeit a bit tricky with a low car. Would love to return.

Very tasteful decoration. Excellent service. Warm welcome. Slightly out of town but that's not such a bad thing. Lovely setting. We were there in August with fantastic weather so able to have breakfast outside then relax on the comfy chaises-longue. Private parking which is often an issue with hotels. Wish we had been able to stay for more than one night and enjoy the small wellness room but there will be other occasions. A small gift of locally produced biscuits was given to us on departure thanking US for staying at the hotel. Very classy touch.

We stayed at le Coffret for 3 nights and used as base for discovering the valley and it's great skiing resorts (Pila is just 10k away and Cervinia and Courmayeur 30-40min). The house is an architectural joy, with an amazing mix of old local construction and modern technology. Rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated, and we highly recommend the suite. Breakfast was high quality, with home grown fruit and freshly baked pies. Place is run by a lovely couple, who are friendly and helpful yet professional. Highly recommended.

Before we rate this accommodation it is important to understand our demographics, we are an Australian married couple in our early 50's who have been travelling around the UK and Europe for the last three months. We have have stayed at many hotels, B&B's and other forms of accommodation during this time and whilst there were others that we would rate slightly higher, this is one of the most unique and special places we've ever stayed at but it may not be to everyone's taste. ||||The exterior is a stone and wooden traditional dwelling for the area built in 1779 and the interior is an ultra modern building within a building. They are still adding some final touches and plan to open a spa facility in the basement in due course. It is located in a small village on the side of a hill in Jayer, Saint Marcel in the very beautiful Aosta Valley. The rooms are large, clean and very unique. I would highly recommed this place as it is like staying in a snow cave in the desert...very unexpected and out of the norm. There is a lot to see and do in the area and a vehicle is a must. A large undercover/underground car park is available on site. Getting there is a little interesting and your GPS will probably send you around the narrow streets in circles, so just follow the brown signs towards the picnic grounds and keep an eye out for the Le Coffret sign down a steep and narrow driveway. Our hosts were amazing although English was limited but not an issue. We arrived on a Monday evening and all the local restaurants were closed so Diego rang around to find out who was open, drove us to the restaurant, waited until our take away was ready and then brought us back all free of charge. Their son Olivier has a much better grasp of the English language and gave us valuable information on places of interest and spent a great deal of time helping us plan our activities. They booked restaurants for us and nothing was too much trouble. ||||It is a great place and well worth the effort. Give Newton a pat for us if you visit.||||Great job guys...

This place was a very nice surprise. In a small town, down through a narrow street, a sort of hidden jewel. A very interesting architectural project combined with high quality service. I was in two different rooms, they are all different and playing with the contrast between old and new parts. The old stone walls has been cleaned and are like a sculpture in each room. My only regret was not having the possibility to stay longer. But there will be new occasions. ||The dinner was great too, locally produced ecological wine, and a very special grappa with ice-cream as dessert. ||It is a kind of guarantee when you are in Italy... if a place is a kind of hidden or a little difficult to find, if there are almost no signs, but still you have too book in advance to get a place. Then you are in the right place.

This is a small BB hotel on the mountain side, rather difficult to find even with GPS. The room and bathroom design is very interesting, the old stone wall combined with modern enteriour which results a special atmosphere, this is the most attractive feature of the hotel.The only downside is the room being dark. There is no aircondition and the nights were very warm for us. Breakfast was ok, the hosts are very friendly and helpful, though not easy to communicate with them as they do not speak English. Room price a bit high.

What a special place! OLIVIER is a national treasure. You cannot go wrong staying here!

On our way to Como we stayed in Le Coffret for one night. The place is amazing, the village is beautiful, the owner super friendly.||The house is incredibly well renovated, the rooms are beautiful, we stayed there with our 7 months baby and they provided baby cot.||||the location is very quite and there is a private parking.||||Breakfast is delicious in a very well decorated room.
