Nature house in MONTEBRACCO, BARGE
Piedmont, Italy
- 4 persons
- 2 bedrooms
- WiFi
- Pets allowed
In an unspoiled corner of the Italian Alps, facing Monviso, we open the doors of our nature houses, a small hamlet nestled in the woods at an altitude of 900 meters, accessible via an earthen track of just over 1 km, by car in 10 minutes or in about twenty minutes on foot from the parking lot on the square of the Certosa di Mombracco in the town of Barge, Cuneo. The hamlet, derelict at the time of purchase, has retained its original features; the upgrades were done in green building, using ecological stone/wood/lime/paint and natural fibers for insulation. The hamlet includes a large long house, a small house for 2 people and the house where we live. The large long nature house for 4 people, consists of two rooms and living room that have a balcony overlooking the mountains, a kitchen and bathroom with shower. For winter, the heating is wood-fired. In the silence of the woods, we propose a stay of peace and nity.
Nature and surroundings
An ideal place for a weekend in the mountains, for a week of relaxation, in osmosis with nature and also for work groups who need a few days of isolation.We have dark, starry, silent nights broken by the song of the owl and breathtaking sunrises that set Monviso ablaze. A 15-minute walk from the houses is the small hamlet of the Carthusian monastery of Mombracco, a 12th-century monastery. Next to the monastery ; the Trappa trattoria where you can eat in the shade of plane trees, home cooking from Piedmont. Countless sporting activities can be practiced on Montebracco: hiking and mountain biking on marked trails, climbing, or simply walking to discover the traces of rural life related to stone work, rock carvings, and alpine architecture. "Base camp" for the traditional Viso tour or ascent to the summit. Between Barge and Revello, a half-hour drive away, you can visit the superb Staffarda Abbey.

Great—though it's worth noting that the house and the location are actually much more spacious than the photos made it seem.
Super, waarbij opgemerkt dat het huis en de locatie in werkelijkheid veel ruimer is dan de indruk welke je vooraf op de foto's kreeg.
The location is breathtaking. The hosts are very welcoming. The dinner made with ingredients from their own garden was so delicious. You’d actually want to keep this place all to yourself.
We went hiking near Monviso (beautiful!), went mountain biking, visited Turin (highly recommended!), and took a walk right from the house. There’s plenty to do in the area for a 1- to 2-week stay. Carlo and Elisa, thank you so much!De locatie is adembenemend. De gastheer en gastvrouw zijn erg gastvrij. Het diner uit hun eigen tuin was zo lekker. Eigenlijk zou je deze plek voor jezelf willen houden.
Wij hebben gewandeld bij Monviso (prachtig!), gemountainbiked, een bezoek aan Turijn gebracht (aanrader!) en een wandeling vanuit het huis gemaakt. Er is genoeg te doen in de omgeving voor een verblijf van 1-2 weken. Carlo en Elisa, geweldig bedankt!This text is automatically translated. -

Highly recommended—a beautifully decorated cottage with a wonderful atmosphere, situated in a very quiet location at an elevation of 900 meters! If you love peace, space, and quiet, this is an absolute must-visit!!
Aanrader, prachtig sfeervol ingericht huisje, zeer stil gelegen op 900m hoogte! Voor wie van rust, ruimte en stilte houdt is dit een absolute aanrader!!
A beautiful, peaceful, quiet spot with stunning views, nestled in the heart of nature. The mountain is bathed in a lovely soft light in the morning and evening! There’s more than enough space to find shaded spots if you wish. The owner is very friendly and helpful. Visiting Turin and/or heading high up into the mountains—both less than an hour’s drive away—is perfect!
The cottage is simple but spacious and decorated with great charm, featuring everything you need, plus super-reliable Wi-Fi here. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to come back again.Prachtige rustige stille plek met fraai uitzicht en midden in de natuur gelegen. Mooi zacht licht op de berg in ochtend en avond! Je hebt meer dan voldoende ruimte om schaduwplekken op te zoeken indien gewenst. Zeer vriendelijke en behulpzame eigenaar. Bezoek Turijn en/of hoog de bergen in op minder dan uurtje rijden is perfect!
Huisje eenvoudig maar ruim en zeer sfeervol ingericht met alles wat je nodig hebt en op deze plek ook super stabiele Wifi. Wii hebben genoten en hopen nog een keer terug te komenThis text is automatically translated. -

We can absolutely recommend this place and we hope to come back one day!

Carlo's place is truly one of a kind. Upon arrival, he picked us up with his 4x4 and drove us to the house. The views of Monviso and the surrounding peaks of the Cottian Alps are absolutely stunning. The apartment has two stoves that heat the rooms quickly, with firewood always available. The kitchen is very well equipped and perfect for cooking delicious meals. The beds are comfortable and Carlo even provided an extra bed for our daughter. We recommend buying enough groceries in advance, as the next little town (Barge) is a bit of a drive once you're up the mountain. Carlo is a wonderful host - always available when needed, whether to drive us up the hill or to share helpful local recommendations. Hiking trails start directly from the house in several directions, offering breathtaking mountain views or, from the other side of the hill, beautiful views of the Po Valley. We also really enjoyed the nearby trattoria.
