One of the Best Places To Visits in Favà Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. Extraordinary castle, presently early June of 2025 under renovation. I strongly recommend you prepare your visit by reading about its history. Your are obliged to take a guided tour which will enrich your experience. Our group had a very sympathetic guide who easily explained in French or English if you couldn't follow his jokes in Italian. The is not the classic medieval fortress but a residence from the 1500s, which can be visited, with beautiful frescoes and rooms, in my opinion the interiors of the are the best in the whole of the Aosta Valley. From the street it seems anything but a and you could have the will to come back because it would seem worth chump change from parking lot. Don't go away! Once entered you can see one of the best preserved of Valley. And it's huge with a lot of frescoed rooms. 5€ for a guided visit it's the worth of it (free for children with less than 6 years). Very competent guide in Italian language. Residence of the Challant family, changed hands over time and became the realization of Vittorio Avondo's dream. The one-hour guided tour is useful for understanding the history of the place and the meaning of its many symbols. We recommend purchasing the ticket on abbonamentomusei.it to visit all the castles and sites of the Aosta Valley. Dogs allowed in a carrier. Free parking nearby. Great visit and super kind guides! After visiting most of the castles in Valle d’Aosta, I have to say this is my favourite for the quality of the guided tour, the amount of rooms accessed, and of course the well-preserved frescoes! The outside may not be the most impressive, but the interiors are magnificent. With beautiful fresco's and medieval graffiti throughout the entire castle. We were the only non-italians in our group, but the lovely guide made a lot of effort to also do some English explanation for us. Beautiful in a wonderful area with scenic views. We were recommended a stop here by a local guide and we were so glad we didn’t skip it. The tour is in Italian but you are given written information and there is one video that can be viewed in English if you ask the tour guide. The rooms and restorations are marvellous, especially the frescos and the preserved colouration. It was also fun to try and decipher all the middle age graffiti on the walls. Highly recommended.
