Description
A Barma is a protrusion in the rock, it is the shelter where you slip in when you find a storm in the mountains. Here in this place, the barma is a kind of hollow tree, one of those trees that you can slip inside to watch the snow sliding on other snow, layer upon layer.

An ancient house dating back to 1724.

It is located within the village of Estoul, a characteristic mountain village at an altitude of 1850 meters and overlooking the Ayas valley.

In winter, just a few meters (about 200) from the starting point of the Brusson - Palasinaz ski lifts.

In summer, it is an ideal starting point for numerous hiking itineraries, both on foot and by mountain bike. Or, simply, an ideal place to rest and appreciate a life still in contact with nature.

You may therefore see Grandma Anna's cows grazing, or Graziella's chickens scratching in the meadow next to the path.

You will probably see Mauro passing by with large buckets full of water, as he goes to tend to his garden.

Or if you are lucky, towards evening you may come across a deer or a stag that, absentmindedly, has come too close to the houses.

By chance I found this wonderful place, an old rascard renovated leaving everything as it used to be. For those who love tranquility, it's a charm. Add a locally sourced breakfast and the owner's availability. You can't wish for more.

We stayed at this property with our family and a couple of friends. Beautiful rooms, meticulously cared for and very clean. The breakfast was excellent, plentiful, and varied. The owner was very kind and helpful during the booking phase and very discreet and friendly during our stay. I recommend it especially to those who need to relax in contact with nature.

A small and lovely bed & breakfast that smells of wood and forest. A beautiful recovery of an old structure (probably a house with a barn). The environment is very well maintained. The bath products are also local with essential oils that release a very pleasant wild, mountain aroma. The breakfast also offers local products and is self service. The homemade jams and cakes are very good. Eggs, cheeses, and cold cuts are also provided. Warm bread. Some gluten-free and dairy-free products are missing. To be honest, we did not make a specific request assuming that this kind of attention in the mountains is difficult, where dairy products are usually local and not industrial and also for this reason highly promoted, so they were not on display but we cannot say that they were completely absent on request. The cherry room (a double with a third single bed) used by 3 people is small but comfortable with a spacious bathroom. The wifi had a weak signal but this place is to be appreciated as an immersion in mountain nature that helps to "disconnect" from the digital world and reconnect with nature. The ski slopes are 150 meters away. Enjoyable stay.

Everything perfect, for a fleeting return to a way of living in mountain places and men that are increasingly rare and precious, which few people have the privilege of appreciating in their essence.

Per chi ama la montagna, con la sua varietà di bosco, alpeggio, roccia e neve, presso "A brama drola" può trovare la migliore sistemazione, piena di atmosfera del passato ma con tutti i vantaggi del presente, un proprietario con cui condividere la passione per tutto ciò che la vera montagna può offrire, cui chiedere indicazioni per fruire al meglio dei luoghi e delle opportunità che essi regalano, senza sentirsi estranei turisti, bensì accolti amici. Qualcosa di più: un sottinteso comune sentire sul passato che non muore ma vive nel ricordo e nella memoria. Per me, la possibilità di un buen retiro, fosse anche solo intermittente.

Sono stato lo scorso week end in questa struttura particolarmente accogliente e mi sono trovato molto bene. Qualsiasi particolare dell'immobile racconta la storia incredibile di questo borgo e il suo titolare ne arricchisce i particolari. Bella testimonianza di ricezione e bella esperienza di conoscenza del territorio. Bravi.

PERFECT! It was nice to be there during this quiet time between the ski season and summer time: perfect to chill out a little bit. The owner is welcoming and helpful, and knows a lot of things about his region. Thank you! The B&B is located in a small, charming and very genuine village from where you can easily do some walking or hiking and enjoy an awesome view.
