Affittacamere la Genzianella is a family-run guest house in Vinadio, in the province of Cuneo, at the gateway to the Maritime Alps Natural Park.
The property offers five room types, from a double room with single beds to a spacious 60-square-metre apartment with a separate living room, suitable for couples travelling together as well as larger families. All accommodations feature a private bathroom with bidet and toiletries, a balcony or terrace, and a view of the mountains or the village, a detail that makes each stay different depending on the room chosen.
Common facilities include a lounge with a TV area, an in-house restaurant, a bar and a terrace to relax on after excursions. WiFi is free throughout the property and pets are allowed on request, with a surcharge. The location in Vinadio, an alpine village in the Stura Valley, is particularly appreciated by couples, while the proximity to trails and nature reserves makes it a reference point for those seeking the Piedmont mountains away from the crowds.
Affittacamere la Genzianella offers five different solutions, designed to suit different needs: from the double room with single beds, ideal for two travellers, to the 60-square-metre apartment with two bedrooms and an independent living room, perfect for groups or larger families. All rooms share certain features: private bathroom with bidet, hairdryer and complimentary toiletries, wardrobe, heating and a balcony overlooking the mountains or the village.
The two family rooms, with a balcony or terrace, offer space for three or four people thanks to combinations of single beds, double beds and sofa beds. The double room with terrace, the coziest at 18 square metres, is designed for couples, while the apartment stands out for its size and the presence of a washing machine, ideal for longer stays.
The Double Room with Single Beds with a View covers 26 square metres and is designed for two guests who prefer separate beds. The balcony overlooks the mountains and the village, while the private bathroom features a walk-in shower and bidet.
Although it is the most compact room in the property at just 15 square metres, the Family Room with Terrace can accommodate up to four people thanks to two sofa beds and a large double bed. It has its own terrace in addition to the balcony, ideal for families with children.
Larger than the Family Room with Terrace while maintaining the same capacity of four guests, the Family Room with Balcony combines two single beds and a large double bed. The balcony offers an open view of the surrounding mountains.
The only apartment in the property spans 60 square metres with a separate bedroom, an independent living room with sofa beds and a washing machine available. It is the most suitable solution for those seeking independence and space during a longer stay.
Designed for couples, the Double Room with Terrace offers an extra-large double bed and a private terrace to enjoy the mountain air, in a cozier setting compared to the family rooms.
Affittacamere la Genzianella provides guests with a common lounge with a TV area, an in-house restaurant and a bar for breakfast or a snack after a day in the mountains. It is also possible to arrange a packed lunch for excursions in the Maritime Alps Natural Park.
The property is designed to welcome families and travellers with pets: bowls and beds for dogs and cats are available, allowed on request with a surcharge. Housekeeping is provided daily and the on-site minimarket allows guests to purchase small essentials without going far.
All rooms have internet access, while tiled or marble floors and allergy-friendly solutions make the spaces suitable even for those with allergies. It should be noted that the upper floors are accessible only via stairs, an aspect to consider for those travelling with heavy luggage or reduced mobility.
Affittacamere la Genzianella is located in the centre of Vinadio, a village in the Stura di Demonte Valley in the province of Cuneo, just a few steps from Fort Albertino and the banks of the Stura torrent. The area retains the typical atmosphere of Piedmont’s alpine villages, with stone houses, narrow lanes and a slow pace of life, far from mass tourism. The village also has small artisan shops, useful for those looking for local products such as mountain-pasture cheeses and cured meats from the valley.
For meals outside the property, just a few minutes’ walk are enough: Caffè Piazza is only 100 metres away, while La Grotta and Bar Pizzeria Italia di Longo Antonio are about 150 metres away. The Maritime Alps Natural Park can be reached in less than a kilometre. For those arriving by car, the Riserva Bianca-Limone Piemonte ski area is about 48 km away, while Cuneo Levaldigi Airport is around 43-52 km away, a good hour’s drive through the valley.
Vinadio is a classic starting point for summer excursions to Monte le Stelière, which rises above 2,600 metres and is about 7 km away as the crow flies, and for reaching the border with the Mercantour National Park in France, about 11 km away. In winter, the proximity to the Riserva Bianca-Limone Piemonte ski facilities allows for days of skiing without giving up the tranquility of a mountain village. Throughout the year, walks along the Stura remain appealing, especially for those seeking a restorative stay away from the hustle and bustle of more crowded destinations.
