Hotel Ristorante Vagneur In Saint-nicolas

Excellent in every way... not close to the main road, you have to climb a long way up to get to the restaurant, but it's definitely worth it. The atmosphere is sublime, peaceful and tranquil. The classic mountain setting with wooden furnishings and inlaid wood objects made by the owner's father make the place even more welcoming. The owner is friendly and welcoming. Authentic food, local dishes, excellent polenta concia and lardo... what can I say... divine!!

We ate very well at reasonable prices.

We had a wonderful two-night stay. Dinner was delicious, breakfast was excellent, and the service was friendly. The room has a truly stunning view of the mountains. There are lovely hikes from Vens. Balou, the sweet dog there too.

Characteristic place, you eat very well, the small village is beautiful

We went on vacation for three days in June and stayed two nights at this hotel. The hotel is very dated, with simple rooms without TVs (we were in a double room). The view from the window was majestic. The breakfast included in the package was plentiful and good quality. We also ate dinner here once, and we enjoyed the typical local dishes. The value for money is absolutely worth it; the staff is super friendly and helpful. For those who enjoy walking or cycling, there are numerous trails of varying difficulty.

We went for lunch on August 15th, and my review is positive in every way. Excellent food, generous portions, courteous and professional staff. Recommended, we'll be back for a weekend given the possibility of staying overnight.

The hotel is in its original state, but the staff is charming, especially the owner, who is very helpful and answers all our questions. If you're looking for a quiet place with stunning views and beautiful hikes, you've come to the right place. You'll also eat very well: homemade cuisine and a hearty, generous, varied, and very good breakfast. We recommend it for these reasons.

Very nice and typical mountain location, excellent food, good service, excellent quality/price ratio! Delicious lunch.

A magnificent evening We found the restaurant by chance, looking on The Fork to see if there was something near the hotel where we were staying. Our only question was: would it be worth climbing to a remote hamlet at 1,700 meters for dinner? The answer is yes. The evening was magnificent, and in Saint Nicolas, with the Grivola in the background, we began to realize that the landscape was a huge plus for our choice. When we arrived at the restaurant, we discovered that the windows in the dining room offered the thrill of a sunset over magnificent mountains. Then the lunch started very well, with a small gesture of courtesy that is still all too rare in Italy: we were first brought a bottle of still water and then asked what we wanted to drink. The menu is all interesting, and choosing is difficult. We opted for the appetizer tasting, which we shared between two (thank goodness, because it was very generous), followed by gnocchi with blue Aosta cheese and baked rabbit. In the end, there's little more to say than that everything was delicious. My favorite thing was the rabbit, a challenging dish, but truly a success, but everything was well thought out, including the friendly and attentive service. When we left, a baby deer ran away as soon as I started the car: it was a shame to have to get out and go back down the valley.

We stayed at this property, located in a beautiful area in the hamlet of Vens, overlooking the Val Saint Nicolas, full of green pastures and tranquility! The hotel is lovely, the staff friendly, the breakfast is rich in delicious dishes, and dinner is not to be missed, featuring a Val d'Aosta menu with excellent food quality! The only drawbacks are the tidy and clean rooms, but they lack TVs, poor Wi-Fi coverage, slightly dated furnishings, and a limited bathroom. Overall, it could use a good refresh and modernization. Recommended for those who love tranquility!
