AMAZING LOCATION. Surely one of the most incredible locations in italy

breakfast was ok

You cannot beat this location - the Hotel is *inside* a historical building, the Forte di Bard! The rooms are spacious and offer a fantastic view of the whole Valle d'Aosta, and wandering at the top of the Forte at night makes you feel like you are a nobleperson from another time. Truly a fantastic place, and the most unique stay I have had. We also loved that the hotel is next to the Forte museum, and staying there grants you discounts to both the museums and the bookstore. Finally, breakfast was included and took place at the Forte cafè - so we had lots of excellent options to choose from. I absolutely recommend this hotel.

It is not that easy to get to the hotel (there are 5 different elevators to take), but it is to be expected given the structure of the Forte. It would have been nice to have a restaurant open on the premises (there is one, but it was closed), since it is hard to leave and come back, but all was good. Overall, it was well worth the climb.

Avengers was filmed here! Staff were super helpful and got the fort to ourselves in evening.

No restaurant but that’s not a problem as staff recommend and book for you.

An amazing building. Nice furnishings.

The pillows on the bed.

I think, Forte di Bard is not only an absolute must-see in Valle d'Aosta but also - thanks to this little hotel located inside it - a must-stay place. Staying here at least for a night changes your experience from just visiting a historical monument to actually living in it, sort of "possessing" it when the museums are closed and tourists go away. After the trip you can proudly show the photos of the fort and say: "This is my hotel!") + Location is on the top level of Forte di Bard with a system of lifts which function all the time and are free for you. There's also a nice little village of Bard below and also a nice village of Hone across the bridge over the Dora Baltea. + The room is very spacious, comfortable, extremely quiet, with good beds and linen. Very spacious bathroom as well, and I really enjoyed the cosmetic products offered here. + Breakfast is tasty. + Friendly staff, we had a very warm welcome at the arrival. + Great value for money! Absolutely recommended! Honestly speaking, visiting the fort without staying here seems to me lacking some important experience.

Only the fact that my phone failed to connect to the free wi-fi here. However, my friend managed to get the connection on hers.

Very unique place. Small hotel in historical castle. Breathtaking view! Beautiful large room, very nice bathroom. Parking is free. Very friendly reception. Definitely recommend.

Breakfast

Although it was a Monday and the castle was closed it was possible to wander around the castle grounds without any problems, food that night was limited and it was really a short drive or long walk to the nearest pizzeria. The room was excellent great views and a balcony over looking the valley. Massive bathroom and good toiletries. Getting up to the castle wasn’t an issue as there was no one around but if it was busy then it might be different. Our dog was welcomed with open arms and fussed a lot. There are grass areas in the grounds for that evening you know what. Breakfast was in the cafe from 0800 and it was very good and the staff were were friendly to us and our dog.

Although your night stay allows you a ticket to visit the castle, all the exhibitions cost extra.

Absolutely fantastic: perfect location inside the fort, good restaurants nearby, the magic feeling of a historic site, plus great museums and animations (especially amazing the prisons , the museum of alps and the wildlife photography exhibition). The personnel is very welcoming and friendly and the restaurant la polveriera is also extremely good! To be repeated.

Absolutely nothing

Amazing location. breathtaking views. It's like sleeping in a legend.

Breakfast offering was minimal, could be enhanced.

the hotel is located inside a fortress, in a breathtaking location; the staff has been extremely kind and available to support, the room was enormous and clean, with a large bed and a lot of silence

Fantastical and magical place…

Nothing

Very nice to stay at the top of the Fort. Wonderful view. Dog friendly so our two dogs loved their stay.

Spending a night in that hotel is to get an experience to stay in a fortress just for yourself(in the evening and in the morning)… staff are extremely nice, specially the girl who speaks English very well! I’ve seen some reviews complaining about the 3 lifts(gondola), that you gonna spend 20 minutes going up/down but that’s part of the experience! :) Comfortable bed, hot/strong shower … heater… very quiet at night! Also very fair price per night, I recommend it!

Breakfast is in the coffee shopping, in front of the hotel … you choose what you want from there, like pastries, sandwiches, croissants, yogurt, cereal …I wish they would have some eggs… nice coffee btw :)

Very warm welcome! Super friendly and helpfull staff. Such a special place to stay!! Really unique! So cool to explore the Fort without other visitors during evening time or in the morning. Even reaching the Fort with the 4 elevators is adventurous. Room was perfect, enough space, comfy bed, very clean, little balcony - very special in this height.

If you don‘t use the wifi, you have to log in again.

Fantastic location, how can you describe staying in a fortress ....it was surreal, impressive awesome and everything you could wish

Staff were exceptionally helpful. Room was roomy, clean and luxurious.

A very special experience sleeping in the fortress at night You can go down to the village near the fortress for meals. There are very good restaurants in the village The staff woman who welcome us at the hotel was very very kind and help us with everything

The air conditioning in the room could be improved

Fantastic adventure! You basically share the fort with only few people after it closes ar 6pm as there is only 10 rooms in total. Lovely rooms and great staff. Reception very helpful. Do check the access before staying there - you can only access the hotel via 3 different gondola style lifts so maybe limiting to some people but we loved it. Also dogs welcomed so another plus

Nothing not to like

stunning setting, friendly staff, great room

Everything. Located inside the forte. Recently renovated. Very well appointed room. Deborah was super nice and helpful with reservation questions and during our stay

Nothing

Absolutely wonderful. Thank you Deborah for helping us with our late arrival. Spacious rooms and spectacular setting made this trip special.

Trouble signing in to the wifi.

What a location! Couldn't get better than this and the Bard Fort is so charming and full of history. Staff was so welcoming and warm. A wonderful stay overall and would highly recommend it
