Le Relais du Boucher

Le Relais du Boucher is a characterful bed & breakfast located in the heart of the historic centre of Gaby, a small village in the Aosta Valley at the foot of the Monterosa massif. The property occupies an ancient family building, where 18th-century boiserie, stone walls, reclaimed furniture from old mountain chalets and Gressoney stone stoves create a warm and authentic atmosphere, far removed from the anonymity of large hotels.

The management is entirely family-run and this is felt in every detail: from the artisanal breakfast — prepared with local products, sweet and savoury options, freshly made hot dishes and gluten-free choices — to the personalised attention given to every guest. The six rooms are all different from one another, some featuring exclusive wellness amenities such as a Turkish bath, biosaunas, a freestanding bathtub or a chromotherapy shower. The property also has a private spa accessible by reservation, with a warm cave, Turkish bath and mini hydromassage pool.

Outside, a large sunbathing terrace with sun loungers and sofas completes the offer. Just 15 minutes by car from the Monterosa Ski resort, it is an ideal base both for skiing enthusiasts and for those seeking relaxation among nature, castles and Aosta Valley villages.
