Amelu’ is located in the heart of Ostana, a small alpine village in the Po Valley rebuilt with stone and wood architecture typical of Piedmontese Occitania, at the foot of Monviso. The property overlooks the surrounding mountains and is just 50 metres from Locanda I Faunet restaurant, convenient for evening dinners without needing a car.
The Sanctuary of San Chiaffredo can be reached in about 1.9 km, while the Alpinside nature park is 7 km away. The nearest airport, Cuneo Levaldigi, is 37 km away, while Turin airport is about 65 km away. Castello della Manta is 37 km away, and the Pinerolo ice rink is 39 km away, easily reachable for those practicing winter ice sports. Passo la Colletta, 8 km away, and the peak of Viso Mozzo, at 3019 metres and just 6 km away as the crow flies, give a sense of just how close the real mountains are.
Ostana is a historic destination for alpine skiing and ski touring, with slopes and trails winding around the Monviso massif, while in summer the village becomes an ideal base for road cycling and mountain biking, also thanks to the bicycle rental service offered directly by the property. Hiking enthusiasts can follow the trails leading to Rifugio Vallanta and Colle delle Traversette, a historic pass connecting the Po Valley to the French Queyras, about 9 km away. Charming small eateries can also be found nearby, such as Il Covo and Margaria Paolo, both about 11-12 km away, to sample typical flavours of Occitan cuisine.
