One of the Best Places To Visits in Aymavilles 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. Beautifully restored owned by the same family over centuries and now by the Aosta region. As with other castles in the Aosta valley owned by the region, the most recent renovation that started around 2000 is beautiful and what is shown among the many objects from the region requires you spend quite some time here. You can rent an audio-guide in the ticket building that you pass on your left hand side when entering the metal gates close to the parking. From the highway you can already admire the imposing square lines with the four towers that merge into what looks like a fairytale castle. The visit begins in the gardens, where you can see how the many owners have renovated it, transforming it from a fortress to a luxury residence, with numerous collections and photographs of the families who lived there. The video on the fourth floor is interesting, illustrating the structural changes and 3D models of the castle. The audio guide reveals hidden corners such as the "fake" ceiling of the cathedral and the paintings of the owner's daughter along a room. Dogs allowed in a carrier. It is recommended to purchase one of the many Valle d'Aosta Cards to visit all the sites and castles. A small fairly tale looking castle, nice to walk around. There is a tour but did not go inside as apparently no interiors were preserved, rather a museum telling the history. Nice stop when travelling in Aosta valley Our dogs friends not allowed 🥺🐾 but with the crazy hot 🥵 we stay out in the tree shade at the garden . Nobody come to complain. Parking 🅿️ around is free with parking disc. This charming castle, once a holiday lodge in Aymavilles, outside Aosta, is run by friendly and efficient staff. It is well kept, inside and outside, even the grounds are well kept. Apart from the lovely rooms, on different levels, there are some wonderful collections, including Roman remains, a small collection of oriental and religious objects, a small collection of swords, periodic furniture and various other artefacts and a most interesting presentation area about the building’s history on the top floor, where one finds the roof supported by an awesome structure of wooden beams. Portable, multi lingual audio guides are available for a small fee. Clean restroom facilities. This is a multi-level building with a smooth lift, and therefore is accessible for every one. To note some breath taking views. Recommended. At the beginning I didn’t want to go as the wasn’t so inspiring to me, but then it has been the most interesting and wonderful visit. There are spectacular landscapes, and people who work there very kind and friendly. Thank you for your warm welcome Just like my ex: impressive on the outside, very basic on the inside The only good thing are the exterior views which are beautiful. Don’t waste your time with the interior, a complete tourist trap / rip off. Small sparse rooms with everything pretty much restored. Interesting relics are behind extremely reflective glass / not dark room so you can barely see them. 10 euros for entry, but should be like 2.
