Room types

The six room types at Amelu’ share a similar setup: each has a private kitchen equipped with a hob, refrigerator, utensils and oven, as well as a private bathroom, balcony and independent entrance. Soundproofed walls ensure privacy even in the units closest to each other, while a coffee machine is provided in every accommodation.

The main differences concern size, ranging from 20 sqm for the standard double rooms to 37 sqm for the largest solution with an additional sofa bed, and the view, which can overlook the garden or directly face the surrounding mountains. Some rooms have a bathtub instead of a shower, others include a dishwasher in the kitchen. Bed configuration is flexible in several units, with the option of single or double beds depending on needs, making the property suitable for both couples and small groups.

Location & what to see

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.
