HOTEL BELLEVUE
Glowing luxury chalet with heart-thumping Alpine views
PERCHED ON THE EDGE OF GRAN PARADISO National Park, you could get high here on the air alone. Glowing with warm woods, roaring fires and handsome antiques, Hotel Bellevue is like a luxurious mountain chalet.
Blink awake to crystal Alpine views and the glitter of snow, 1500 metres up in Valle d'Aosta. The Belleveue is all warm rusticity: hand-crafted furniture, richly coloured fabrics, polished wood floors, raftered ceilings and massive fireplaces. Walls are warmly painted or wood-panelled, ceilings beamed, floorboards scattered with rugs. There are bright red and white checked fabrics, shelves of books, displays of local crafts and – in most bedrooms – heart-thumping mountain views.
After an invigorating day out, come back to base for afternoon tea and home-made cakes by a roaring fire. Or indulge all your senses in Hotel Bellevue's award winning La Valheureusa (it means Happy Valley) spa.
Hit the Spot
Blink awake to crystal views of snow-capped Mont Blanc and Gran Paradiso.
Pillow Talk
Bedrooms are like the rosiest and cosiest of log cabins.
Be Savvy
Take skis in winter and walking boots in summer.
Be Smitten
It's Spa time in the mountains.
Bronze bathtub for two
Get a soaking among the Spa's water cascades, turn up the heat in the sauna, submit to a rasul mud clay bath, soak in milk and honey or be blissfully revived with a bio-energetic massage. This is a place to get cosy afterwards in your suite, complete with log fire, canopied bed, and a private sauna or jacuzzi.
Dine in the Bellevue's smart Michelin starred restaurant, mountain inn or buzzing brasserie – the choice is yours. And make time to bliss out in the Spa. For the ultimate treat try the King Victor Bath experience: a bronze bathtub for two filled with mountain spring water and spiced local wine with champagne on the side. Now, life can't be bad.

Dining in
The Bellevue has a choice of three restaurants, all of them specialising in traditional Alpine dishes with an imaginative twist.
Breakfast
Breakfast is served until 10.30am. Look forward to homemade pastries, preserves and pancakes.
Room service
Available in the morning
Where?
Le Petit Restaurant Gourmet, Bar à Fromages.
What’s cooking?
Both restaurants emphasise traditional Alpine cuisine, with the tavolozzo di foie-gras and L’uovo di Re Vittorio (eggs King Vittorio style) specialities.
Dress the part
The vibe is at-home Alpine
Top table?
Pick one with a panoramic view of the Sant’Orso meadow.
See & Do
You're in Grade-A skiing and walking country here. Breathe in the mountain air in the Gran Paradiso national park – co-owner Mimmo will be happy to be your mountain guide and direct you to some off-the-beaten-track spots. The Cascade di Lillaz – breathtaking waterfalls – and the fairytale castles of the Valle d’Aosta are other musts.
Spa
The Bellevue's Spa de Montagne offers a swimming pool, jacuzzi, hot tubs, turkish baths and roman baths. Massages and other pampering treatments are available here, and the King Vittorio Bath and Hay Bath have to be tried to be believed.
