Nature house in MONTEBRACCO, BARGE
Piedmont, Italy

- 1 bedroom
- 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; 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.

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.

The house is very spacious for 2 people, it has a great, individual, artistic interior and impresses above all with the spacious veranda, where you can lie in the hammock and enjoy the fantastic view. You can sleep very well in the bed, even in warmer temperatures it is quite cool. Perfect for finding peace and quiet.
Das Haus ist für 2 Personen sehr geräumig, es hat eine tolle, individuelle, künstlerische Einrichtung und besticht vor allem mit der geräumigen Veranda, auf der man in der Hängematte liegen und die geniale Aussicht genießen kann. Im Bett kann man sehr gut schlafen, auch bei wärmeren Temperaturen ist es recht kühl. Perfekt, um zu Ruhe zu kommen.
The cottage is great, an incredible view and tranquillity and Carlo, the landlord, is very nice, helpful and, luckily for us, also spoke French. The last few meters to get there seemed very adventurous at first, but it was easy even with a fully packed car plus 2 bikes.
Das Häuschen ist super, eine unglaubliche Aussicht und Ruhe und Carlo, der Vermieter ist sehr nett, hilfsbereit und hat zu unserem Glück auch französisch gesprochen. Der Anfahrtswegs auf den letzten Metern erscheint anfangs sehr abenteuerlich, gelang aber selbst mit voll gepacktem PKW plus 2-Bikes gut.

Fantastic!!! This is perhaps the most beautiful house we have stayed in. The setting is very peaceful, the views are phenomenal and the hosts are nice and attentive people. We didn't want to leave here and enjoyed a wonderful restful week. (Even) extra pluses for: the hammock, the glow worm show, the super cute dog and the art on the walls.
Fantastisch! Dit is misschien wel het mooiste huis waar we al verbleven. De omgeving is heel rustig, het uitzicht is fenomenaal en de gastheer en -vrouw zijn toffe en attente mensen. We wilden hier niet weg en hebben genoten van een heerlijke rustgevende week. (Nog) extra pluspunten voor: de hangmat, de glimwormpjesshow, de superleuke hond en de kunst aan de muren.
