Pictures don't do justice to this beautiful place!
I cannot adequately put into words the perfection that was our stay here. Barbara and her family are the most genuine, kind people, and you can tell they love what they do; Barbara has spared no detail in every room of the apartment, from flower petals in the ice cubes (!) to flowers, candies, and handwritten notes throughout the house. The home was built by a family member and includes a large Italian marble floor (so exquisite!). The kitchen was fully stocked with all we'd need to cook a meal after a long, tiring journey. Additionally, the family provided fresh eggs from the chickens and wine and pastries! truly, no detail was overlooked. The place has a zen-like quality, and for the first time on our trip, I was able to fully relax and take in the air; we sat on the balcony each night and drank wine and wrote in our journals. The property is surrounded by beauty -- a lovely garden at our disposal for herbs for cooking, trails and mountains/lakes, and a delightful restaurant less than 2 minutes walk from the home. On one morning, I was ill and not ready to drive the car, and so Barbara's son graciously offered to drive us into the town and became somewhat of a tour guide for us that day (MANY THANKS!). I have already said I will return to this place again in the future. Thank you, Barbara! What a special place you have.

Unique apartment
A beautiful apartment wonderfully restored by Barbara and her family to give an amazing insight into Italian life. We very much enjoyed our stay everything was perfect, the apartment was extremely well fitted out with everything you would need for an enjoyable stay nothing had been missed at all. The accommodation is outside of the hustle of Avigliana in a very quiet village, there is a great bakery just opposite and supermarkets in the town to cater for all your needs. Barbara and her family were wonderful helping with all our queries nothing was too much trouble thank you all for you generous hospitality.

We would give 6 stars or more if possible. We were treated with kindness and welcome as if friends
Barbera and her family treated us unbelievably well. The section we stayed in was well decorated, well stocked with basic foods for breakfast and was very clean. The surrounding area was exactly the Italian county side experience we were looking for. From the gardens kept by BarbarĆ s mother to the village bake shop across the street it was a wonderful experience for those looking for authentic village life but still accessible to major areas such as Turin and Susa Thank you Barbara and your entire family.

Homely, spacious and peaceful
Five of us stayed here for a week and we had such a wonderful time. Never before have I rented a house with such a generous, helpful and smiley owner. She could not do enough for us and really helped to make our stay special. The kitchen was left full of provisions, there was a bottle of wine on the table and we were told that we could help ourselves to produce in the garden, and that the garden was free for us to wander in wherever. The house is really interesting with marble floors and old furnishings and it has a homely, spacious quality. Apart from all that, the rural setting of the house was quite special, surrounded by hills and trees, and with goats and sheep alongside and with the perfect terrace from which to watch the sun rise or the storms over the mountains. We did not have a car but the owner was more than willing to ferry us whenever we needed her to, and she directed us to the best ways to walk to the lakes and into Avigliana, both of which were well worth visiting and only took about half an hour to reach by foot. Avigliana was ancient and not spoiled by tourism, the lakes were excellent for swimming, boating and walking, and we enjoyed the frescoes at San Antonio. We also walked from the house up to the amazing Sacra San Michele. There are no shops in the village of Bertassi apart from the most delicious bakery just opposite the house and this also stocked other basic provisions. There was also a promising looking restaurant but that was closed while we were there. This did not matter because we loved being at the house. For anyone wanting a rural stay which is out of the ordinary, this is the place to go.

An excellent experience, surpassing all expectations - the accommodation, the family and the valley. Highly recommended! The accomodation was even better than it appears in the photographs, spacious, tasteful and welcoming. The family were always on hand to help, from tourist information to Piamontese cooking classes! Susa valley is beautiful with seemingly endless scenic and historic surprises at every turn, and Avigliana Old Town is really special... a must! Una experiencia excelente, que sobrepasĆ³ todas nuestras expectativas: el alojamiento, la familia y el valle. Altamente recomendable! El alojamiento fue aĆŗn mejor de lo que aparece en las fotos, espacioso, de buen gusto y acogedor. La familia siempre estuvo atenta para ayudarnos, desde darnos informaciĆ³n turĆ­stica a ofrecernos clases de cocina piamontesa! El valle de Susa es hermoso y con un sinfĆ­n de sorpresas en sus paisajes e historia. El centro histĆ³rico de Avigliana es muy especial....para no perderlo!

Prachtige locatie!
We vonden het huis prachtig, echt met stijl en heel sfeervol, groot met Ć©Ć©n slaapkamer in Venetiaanse stijl! Barbara, de gastvrouw had heerlijk eten en drinken neergegelegd zodat wij goed voorzien waren voor de eerste dag (en meer). M.a.w. kosten noch moeite bespaard om het naar onze zin te maken. Afgezien vd warmte (juli) hebben we genoten vd prachtige omgeving. Turijn is via het treinstation (8min. rijden) binnen een 1/2u bereikbaar wanneer de trein doorrijdt (1Ɨ moeten uitstappen, zoeken, 2 uur). Mooie stad, niet duur. Aanrader; Sacre Saint Michel en de PLAATS Susa is prachtig (niet treinstation of porta Susa, is in Turijn!) Wij hebben genoten!

Zuhause in Italien
Die Ferienwohnung liegt sehr idyllisch. Sie schmiegt sich an einige HƤnge. Von dort fĆ¼hrt ein schƶner Weg in 90 Minuten zur Sacra San Michele. Das ist ein sehr lohnenswerter Spaziergang. Der kleine Ort hat eine wunderbare Bio-BƤckerei, eine KƤserei und eine nette Trattoria, die in weniger als 5 Minuten zu erreichen sind. Das Haus ist sehr schƶn und massiv gebaut. Wir haben alle hervorragend geschlafen. Die Einrichtung ist sehr liebevoll. Unsere Gastgeberin und ihre Familie wohnen im GebƤude nebenan. Alle haben sich rĆ¼hrend um uns gekĆ¼mmert und wir mƶchten uns nochmal dafĆ¼r bedanken. Obwohl wir den ganzen Garten nutzen durften, haben wir auch viel Zeit auf dem wunderbaren massiven Balkon verbracht und Nachts die schwƤrmenden GlĆ¼hwĆ¼rmchen beobachtet. Die strategische Lage ist hervorragend. Turin ist eine halbe Stunde mit dem entfernt. Etliche dramatische SpaziergƤnge in den Alpen liegen im Umkreis von einer Stunde. Wir haben es sogar geschafft einen Tag ans Mittelmeer zu fahren. Diese Ferienunterkunft ist eine hundertprozentige Empfehlung.

Hideaway in nature close to Turinā€™s beautiful centre
Our second stay in the tastefully decorated appartment of Barbara and family was again very relaxing and serene. The nature surrounding the estate and the proximity of Turin by train from Avigliana offer the best of both worlds: a quiet area far from the traffic and hectic city, but cultural highlights within easy reach. We loved the way we were again welcomed by the family and hope to return soon. Great hideaway for couples!

Wunderbare Ruhe am FuƟe der Sacra!
Die Wohnung ist wudnerbar in einem kleinen Ɩrtchen gelegen. Der BiobƤcker und die KƤserei sind mit "Hausschuhen" erreichbar. Wir waren fĆ¼r eine Schreibeklausur da und konnte so den Platz und die Ruhe (unterbrochen nur von Kuh- oder Schafsglocken ;-) ) vor Ort sehr gut nutzen. Barbara und Paola, die beiden guten Seelen des Hauses haben zudem den Aufenthalt zu einem wunderbaren Erlebnis gemacht und zum Gelingen unserer Texte beigetragen. Ganz herzlichen Dank fĆ¼r all die Aufmerksamkeiten! Noch einige Worte zur Lage: Avigliana ist in 5 min erreicht (Auto / 15-20 min mit dem Rad), der Zug nach Turin geht ab Avigliana alle halbe Stunde nach Susa jede Stunde, an den Lago Grande ist man auch schnell geradelt (10-15 min) und wer einfach mal auf die Sacra di San Michele wandern mƶchte braucht nur aus der HaustĆ¼r treten und ist im Grunde schon auf dem Weg. Wir freuen uns in jedem Fall auf das nƤchste Mal! Fam Cerny
