In the heart of Dolonne, the medieval old town of Courmayeur, stands a stone house where our mother Elisa was born. We've opened it to travellers who want to experience Mont Blanc like a local, not like a tourist in the centre. It's 124 square metres on two floors, with 3 bedrooms and 8 sleeps. Master bedroom on the ground floor with a 180 by 200 bed and a 25 cm mattress. Upstairs there are two bedrooms, each with two bunk beds, for 4 sleeps in total. Two bathrooms, both with walk-in showers, and the upper one also has the washing machine. The open kitchen is fully equipped: induction hob, combined microwave grill oven, dishwasher, fridge and freezer, a full professional Tognana cookware set, coffee machine, kettle, toaster. The living area has a 40 inch Smart Full HD TV with satellite channels, a sofa and a rocking chair in front of four large windows facing the mountains. WiFi at 100 megabits per second covers the whole house. Iron available. Professional sanitisation before every stay. What makes this house different from the rest of Courmayeur is its location. Ski slopes 10 metres away, with the children's practice slope right outside the door. Ski rental 50 metres away. Gondola to the ski area 300 metres away. Private covered garage parking included, 320 metres from the house, a real rarity in Courmayeur. Skyway Monte Bianco 4 kilometres away. QC Terme thermal spa in Pré Saint Didier 6.5 kilometres away. In the cellar you can store skis, snowboards and boots between days on the slopes. In summer the house becomes the perfect base for the Tour du Mont Blanc, the hikes in Val Veny and Val Ferret and the panoramic Skyway. From May to October Courmayeur is a paradise for hiking, trekking and mountain biking. Bed linen and towels provided for every guest. Pets allowed on request. Fully non-smoking property.

I'm Marco and I run La Maison de Elisa, the stone house where our mother Elisa was born, in the old town of Dolonne. I'm a freelance professional and I travel a lot myself. Over the years I've learned what really makes the difference on holiday: meticulous cleaning, professional sanitisation between guests, a smart lock with personal code, fresh linen every stay, and someone who answers you in person within 24 hours if you have a question. I know Courmayeur well, from the less crowded ski slopes to the best mountain refuges, from where to do your grocery shopping to where to buy your ski pass without queueing. If you ask me for a tip, I'll give you one. I'm waiting for you in Dolonne.
