"Ciabòt di Cesare"

This small building, first mentioned in documents in 1755, was already used by the great-grandfather Cesare as a shelter for himself and his cattle, which grazed in the surrounding meadows during the summer months and was locked up in the stable on the ground floor of the Ciabòt at nightfall. In the Spartan upstairs, a simple meal was prepared by the open fire and slept on the stored hay.

The cottage was built from the stones of the Alta langa, which were stacked carelessly stacked only by "terra bagnata" (moist soil). Cesare used the building until a few years ago in the same way as his ancestors.

In recent years, however, it was no longer used and fell rapidly. It is thanks to Bruna, the daughter of Cesare, that it was lovingly restored and today serves the guests of the Alta Langa as a cozy holiday home. It is located in the middle of meadows and forests, on the edge of the municipality of Mombarcaro, with wide views over the valleys of Bormida and Belbo. Early risers can enjoy the sunrise over the hills from the terrace and watch the sunset over the Alps as a conclusion to a restful day.

The nearest building is about 400 meters away. (Agriturismo with good food).

The former stable houses today next to the staircase a small bathroom and a cozy kitchen, upstairs is the living room / bedroom of 20m2. The old walls and the roof construction remained untouched, as far as they were still available, and today give the Ciabòt its unmistakable charm.
