Editorial
Hotel overview
Housed in an 18th-century stone building, this rustic inn offers a cozy retreat in the scenic village of Chianale. Guests enjoy warm rooms complemented by panoramic views of the Monviso mountain, creating a peaceful mountain atmosphere. The on-site restaurant serves traditional dishes made with local ingredients, reflecting the flavors of the Valle Varaita region.
The inn is an ideal base for outdoor enthusiasts, just a short drive from Longet Lake and popular ski touring spots like Pic d'Asti. Friendly, multilingual staff provide knowledgeable insights on local culture and activities, enhancing the stay beyond basic accommodation. While rooms are comfortable and clean, some facilities like the bathroom shower show signs of age, matching the building's historic character.
Visitors highlight the genuine hospitality, the flavorful food specialties such as polenta and panna cotta, and the tranquil environment perfect for unwinding after a day of adventure.
