The walls of an old house are the mirror of those who have lived in it, they have seen the passage of time, the intertwining of generations who, in that dwelling, have spent moments of their lives. Some houses sometimes become ruins, are abandoned and die out. In other cases, there are people who leave their hearts in those houses, who see them as part of their lives and cannot imagine that they might be lost.

This is the story of the building that has now become B&B Il Girasole, dating back to the early decades of the 20th century, in a small village at the entrance to the Valle d'Aosta, Donnas, a place rich in history and the gateway to beautiful valleys known in winter for skiing and in summer for unspoilt nature.

On the ground floor there is a large sunny breakfast area and a room with bathroom, while on the first floor there are three rooms with bathrooms: one with a spacious terrace and another with a balcony. A large private car park welcomes guests, flanked by a dehors to enjoy moments of relaxation.

The philosophy that animates the cosy B&B is based on some principles of living well: offering a space of serenity and making guests taste and appreciate the best products of the territory, both with the abundant breakfast and in moments of well-being in the rooms.
