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; 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 Double House, for 2 people, consists of a large room, kitchen, bathroom with bathtub and a large covered terrace with a view of the mountains. For winter, the heating is wood/gas. In the silence of the woods, we offer a stay of peace and serenity.

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 Certosa di Mombracco, a 12th-century monastery. Next to the monastery is 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.

    We had a wonderful stay

    A simple, cozy cottage with a lovely covered outdoor area offering an ever-changing view of Monviso. Ideal for summer.
    Carlo and Elisa cooked two exquisite meals for us using vegetables from their own garden, served on their own terrace. Highly recommended!

    The stay was an absolute 10/10! It was beautifully decorated, very clean, and the surroundings were wonderful. The pictures don’t do the house justice—it’s even better than you’d expect. We spent long, relaxing evenings on the porch, listening to the animals in the surrounding forest and watching fireflies. Carlo’s garden is naturally beautiful, with sage, lavender, and rosemary bushes, and you can spot little salamanders everywhere. Carlo himself is an incredibly warm and interesting person. We would have loved to talk to him more, but there was a slight language barrier. Still, he was always super helpful and funny. We enjoyed it so much that we extended our stay by two days. The surrounding area is great for hiking. We already miss the little cottage, Carlo, and his dog, and we hope to come back soon! ☆

    It was very quiet; you're completely isolated from cars and other distracting noises, so you can enjoy nature to the fullest.

    It was a wonderful experience; we were welcomed with kindness, warmth, and care in a lovely, comfortable home. Thank you, Carlo and Elisa, for everything.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    A charming place, renovated and managed with care, thoughtfulness, and love.
    We had a wonderful time both in the house and in the surrounding area, which is perfect for those who love hiking and rock climbing (all the climbing walls on Monte Bracco are very close by).
    The chestnut grove, the view of Monviso, the relative seclusion, and the aromatic plants surrounding the houses are what define the space and the surrounding nature.
