Alter Hotel is a 4-star property located in Barge, in the province of Cuneo, about 25 km from Castello della Manta and on the edge of the Cottian Alps.
The hotel features a garden, terrace, private parking and a common lounge, as well as a fitness centre and a spa area with body treatments and massages. The rooms, all air-conditioned and equipped with free WiFi and a private bathroom, include a desk, flat-screen TV and safe; some offer a balcony or mountain view, while the higher categories add a bathrobe, slippers and minibar. The Suite and the Loft, the latter with a hydromassage shower and kitchenette, are designed for longer stays or for families.

The multilingual staff, present at the 24-hour reception desk, also offers concierge service, luggage storage and bicycle and car rental, useful for those who want to explore the trails and slopes of the area, a destination popular with cyclists and skiers.
Alter Hotel offers four room types, all with private bathroom, air conditioning and flat-screen TV, designed to suit both short stays and longer visits. The Executive Room, the most compact at 20 sqm, and the 26 sqm Deluxe share a double or twin bed setup, while the latter adds a garden view and mountain view.
Moving up a category, the 34 sqm Suite stands out for its five panoramic windows and designer furnishings, ideal for those seeking more space without giving up an intimate atmosphere. The Loft, the largest at 45 sqm and accommodating up to 4 guests, is arranged over several levels with a hydromassage shower, kitchenette and, in some cases, a private terrace: the most suitable option for families or extended stays.
This is the hotel’s most compact room type, with 20 air-conditioned sqm and the option to choose between a double bed or two single beds when booking. It includes fresh fruit, mineral water and free newspapers, as well as included access to the fitness centre, a perk not always guaranteed in the other rooms.
Larger than the Executive by 6 sqm, this room overlooks the garden, inner courtyard or mountains and offers a king-size bed as an alternative to twin beds. Satellite TV, bathrobe and slippers complete an offering designed for those seeking a little extra comfort without moving up to the Suite category.
The Suite is the only room with five panoramic windows and designer furnishings, as well as a limited-edition radio not found elsewhere in the property. At 34 sqm it is the most spacious of the double rooms and overlooks the mountains, offering a more intimate setting compared to the Loft.
The Loft is the hotel’s only multi-level accommodation, with a hydromassage shower, a lounge area with a sofa bed and a kitchenette available on request for a surcharge. At 45 sqm and accommodating up to 4 guests, it is the largest room in the property, suitable for families or longer stays, and in some versions also features a private terrace.
