La Louye su La Goumba is a bed and breakfast created from the renovation of an ancient mountain house in the small village of Pontboset, in the Aosta Valley. The property stands on a ridge overlooking the valley, surrounded by terraced fields and facing an authentic, unspoiled mountain landscape, just steps from the fountain and the old oven where rye bread is still occasionally baked today.
Born from the passion for cooking of owner Lucia, who has spent over twenty years nurturing her dream of welcoming those who love the mountains and good food, the property offers a genuine, homely hospitality experience. The rooms, with private en-suite bathrooms with shower and mountain views, are also suitable for family stays. A bar completes the property’s offering, along with free parking available on site.

La Louye su La Goumba is located in Pontboset, a small municipality in the lower Aosta Valley nestled in the Valle del Lys, along the course of the Ayasse torrent. The village is one of those places where time seems to have stood still: a handful of stone houses, terraced fields descending toward the valley, paths winding through the woods. The property occupies an elevated position on the ridge overlooking the village, with direct views of the surrounding mountains.
Less than 15 km away by car is the Forte di Bard, one of the most impressive and best-preserved fortresses in the Alps, now home to an important museum and international temporary exhibitions. Nearby is also the medieval village of Donnas, with its famous limestone rock where a stretch of the Via delle Gallie is still visible. The Hône-Bard railway station is approximately 10 km away by car, providing connections to the regional rail network.
