La Chambres d’hôtes d’ARTEmisia è una nuovissima struttura situata all’ingresso di Pont-Saint-Martin, lungo il Cammino Balteo. Il nome della struttura, d’ARTEmisia, ha origine dal desiderio dei proprietari di coniugare l’espressione artistica con la natura così presente in Valle d’Aosta.
L’edificio in pietra risalente all’anno 1948 è stato riconfigurato con un attento restauro dai proprietari e gestori, gli architetti Silvia e Gabriele Grosso. I lavori hanno previsto l’uso del legno in tutti i suoi infiniti usi e varianti: castagno, cedro, cirmolo, rovere, noce, ciliegio, abete e incenso sono le essenze che accompagnano i nostri ospiti nelle stanze con il loro profumo aromatico. Le stanze sono dedicate a pittori e scultori valdostani, italiani e stranieri, e tutta la struttura ospita opere d’arte di proprietà dei gestori, ammirabili sia nelle camere che nelle zone comuni.
Le sale colazione sono direttamente affacciate sul giardino interno che ospita essenze aromatiche, piccoli ortaggi e fiori profumati graditi agli insetti impollinatori, ed è sempre possibile godere del sole e della tranquillità del piccolo spazio verde.
La struttura è rispettosa dell’ambiente e si avvale di energia green: pompa di calore, pannelli fotovoltaici, ventilazione meccanica controllata, riscaldamento e raffrescamento a pavimento, solare termico e recupero delle acque piovane per l’irrigazione del giardino; una colonnina di ricarica per auto elettriche completa la nostra offerta per gli ospiti.

The walls of an old house are the mirror of those who have lived in it, they have seen the passage of time, the intertwining of generations who, in that dwelling, have spent moments of their lives. Some houses sometimes become ruins, are abandoned and die out. In other cases, there are people who leave their hearts in those houses, who see them as part of their lives and cannot imagine that they might be lost.

This is the story of the building that has now become B&B Il Girasole, dating back to the early decades of the 20th century, in a small village at the entrance to the Valle d'Aosta, Donnas, a place rich in history and the gateway to beautiful valleys known in winter for skiing and in summer for unspoilt nature.

The structure is spread over two floors. On the ground floor there is a large sunny breakfast area and a room with bathroom, while on the first floor there are three rooms with bathrooms: one with a spacious terrace and another with a balcony. A large private car park welcomes guests, flanked by a dehors to enjoy moments of relaxation.

The philosophy that animates the cosy B&B is based on some principles of living well: offering a space of serenity and making guests taste and appreciate the best products of the territory, both with the abundant breakfast and in moments of well-being in the rooms.

Small pets are welcome with a small supplement on the price
