Amore (2 persons)

ABOUT THE APARTMENT

Amore – an apartment full of love
Amore is a 2-person apartment in Casa di Montagna Thouraz.

In 2020, Allard & Jantiene found what they weren't looking for: a hidden gem at 1600 meters in the enchanting Italian Aosta Valley. Thouraz is a place that breathes tranquility, invites you outdoors, and is meant to be shared with fellow mountain lovers. The old casa was sustainably rebuilt with respect for the surroundings. Amore is one of eight apartments, each with its own character.

Amore means love, and you feel it the moment you step inside this two-story apartment. You'll find Amore in the center of our casa, on the ground floor, with its own entrance at the front. The ground floor features a cozy living room and a fully equipped kitchen. A fixed staircase leads to the bathroom and bedroom, where you wake up to breathtaking views of the 4000-meter peaks of Gran Paradiso National Park.

Amore is perfect for couples or solo guests who love comfort, tranquility, and a touch of romance.

Extra space for groups
Coming with a group of six? No problem! Amore can be internally connected to our 4-person apartment Insieme. This way, you can enjoy time together while still maintaining your privacy.

To help you feel at home quickly, we have equipped the apartment with all modern conveniences. For the atmosphere, we were inspired by the shades nature shows in every season.

The names of our apartments are words that connect Allard & Jantiene.

Amore means love, and you feel it in every corner of this apartment. It's a home within Casa di Montagna Thouraz: cozy and lovingly furnished, yet connected to the other apartments.

The name symbolizes not only the warmth and atmosphere we aim to create in our casa but also the bond between Allard and Jantiene, which inspires the entire casa. Amore invites you to relax, enjoy, and create memories, all surrounded by the peace and beauty of the mountains.

A view with a room!
Thanks to the large windows and French doors, you can enjoy a stunning panorama at any moment. The surrounding mountain peaks almost become part of your interior.

For your studio, you have your own private terrace, entirely yours to relax or enjoy the view. Want a quiet moment? Find a peaceful spot in our spacious garden. Or are you in the mood for socializing? Join other guests on the large terrace and enjoy the sun and scenery together.

With a private entrance, the apartment truly feels like your own home base.

Kitchen
Cooking is even more enjoyable in our modern kitchen. The induction hob with integrated extraction removes odors immediately. Be sure to bring your favorite oven recipes, as the kitchen invites you to try them out at your own pace. Pepper, salt, and oil are already provided.

Thanks to the Quooker, you always have boiling water at hand, and the spacious fridge with freezer compartment makes it easy to store meals for several days. The dishwasher hums softly in the background, taking care of the cleaning for you. All appliances were chosen for their quiet operation and ease of use.

Sleeping
The silence of the mountains does the rest: at night, you mainly hear… nothing. Combined with our comfortable Hästens beds and the soft, natural Yumeko bedding, everything is provided for a deep, relaxing sleep, just as sleeping in the mountains should be.

The bedroom is compact, which makes it extra cozy and intimate. Perfect for relaxing together and drifting off while gazing at the mountains. Prefer two separate beds? That's also possible, with about 30 cm of space in between.

Bathroom
Enjoy a long, relaxing shower under our generous rain shower with the Hydraloop Upfall Shower. You can shower as long as you like, guilt-free: up to 80% of the water and energy is reused. Comfort and sustainability go hand in hand here, so you can fully enjoy the peace and beauty of the surrounding mountains. Soft, sustainable towels from Yumeko are ready for you.

Workation, work & vacation
Imagine waking up to the fresh mountain air, a cup of coffee with a view over the Aosta Valley, and then getting productive work done. At Casa di Montagna Thouraz, you effortlessly combine the best of both worlds: working peacefully while recharging in nature.

ABOUT THE SURROUNDINGS

Our home in Thouraz is located at an altitude of 1608 meters in the Aosta Valley in Italy, surrounded by the giants of the Alps: Mont Blanc (4806 meters), the Matterhorn (4478 meters), and Gran Paradiso (4061 meters).

All year round, the area offers an oasis of peace and quiet. The Aosta Valley is known as one of the sunniest regions in the Alps, with more than 300 days of sunshine per year. Located on a south-facing slope and offering panoramic views, it is a true pleasure for any mountain lover. Even during the high season, you can enjoy the almost meditative atmosphere.
