Fodor's Review:

Here's your chance to sleep in a 12th-century castle without emptying your wallet. In a monastery that Amedeo of Savoy gave to the Order of St. Bernard in 1137, this bargain-price lodging is still run by monks. Only 15 km (8 mi) north of Aosta, this simple pension is a good base for hikers and cross-country skiers. Hearty food is included in the full meal plan. Pros: Good base for budget-conscious skiers and hikers, secluded atmosphere. Cons: Isolated location (no towns or restaurants nearby), extremely simple accommodations.
