Nature house in MONTEBRACCO, BARGE

Of course in Italy you have to eat lunch and dinner out of doors, plenty of options. But since I love cooking myself and the ingredients from Italian soil are fantastic, I also occasionally cooked for myself. For that the equipment of the kitchen is very sparse. But that didn't spoil the fun: when you need something you can always ask Carlo!

Natuurlijk moet je in Italië buiten de deur lunchen en dineren, plenty mogelijkheden. Maar aangezien ik zelf van koken houd en de ingrediënten van Italiaanse bodem fantastisch zijn, heb ik ook af en toe zelf gekookt. Daarvoor is de uitrusting van de keuken wel erg summier. Maar dat mocht de pret niet drukken: wanneer je iets nodig hebt kun je het altijd aan Carlo vragen!

The location is great! Peace and quiet and a great view. The hosts are nice and thoughtful, ready when you need them. Got good tips from them. The last evening they cooked for us a Piedmontese meal at our request, very tasty! We had a fantastic week. Sam (the dog) also had a great time.

De locatie is geweldig! Rust en een geweldig uitzicht. De hosts zijn aardig en meedenkend, staan klaar wanneer je ze nodig hebt. Goede tips van ze gekregen. De laatste avond werd er -op ons verzoek- voor ons een Piëmontese maaltijd gekookt, superlekker!
We hebben een fantastische week gehad. Ook Sam (de hond) had het erg naar zijn zin.

We had high expectations that were amply fulfilled. It was a pleasant dip into the past, with all the pros and all the cons. But mind you for us the cons were greatly appreciated: The essentiality, the wood stove to load and light, the smell of the burning stove, the cold rooms to warm up before staying there, the absence of TV. Not to mention the view of Monviso, the distance from the usual "civilization," the terrace....

Avevamo grandi aspettative che sono state ampiamente soddisfatte. E stato un piacevole tuffo nel passato, con tutti i pro e tutti i contro. Ma attenzione per noi i contro sono stati molto apprezzati: L’essenzialità, la stufa a legna da caricare e accendere, l’odore della stufa accesa, i locali freddi da scaldare prima di soggiornarvi, l assenza della tv. Senza parlare della vista sul Monviso, la lontananza dalla abituale “civiltà”, il terrazzo…

There was a calmness to which we are no longer accustomed. The only noises were the chirping of birds and the buzzing of insects. At night, a real darkness. All immersed in the woods and nature.

C era una calma alla quale non siamo più abituati. Gli unici rumori erano il cinguettio degli uccelli e il ronzare degli insetti. Di notte, un vero buio. Il tutto immersi nel bosco e nella natura.

An experience to be had again, the houses and the surrounding forest give a calm and peaceful feeling that those who live in the city do not know. Carlo is a caring and kind host, the house equipment is basic but guarantees an authentic experience.

Esperienza da rifare, le case e il bosco circostante regalano una calma e una sensazione di pace che chi vive in città non conosce. Carlo è un host premuroso e gentile, la dotazione della casa è essenziale ma garantisce un'esperienza autentica.

We spent a rejuvenating time immersed in the quiet of the wild houses.

Abbiamo trascorso un tempo rigenerante immersi nella quiete delle case selvatiche.
