The surrounding landscape consists of meadows, woods and small clusters of stone houses, with the mountains of the Alpi Marittime visible directly from the rooms’ balconies. The Alpi Marittime Natural Park, one of the largest in Piedmont, is just 2.8 km away, while the border with the Mercantour National Park, in France, is about 17 km away.

To reach the property by car, it’s best to take the state road through the Stura Valley; the closest airport, Cuneo – Levaldigi Airport, is 33 km away. Those traveling by train can rely on the stations of Roccavione, 11 km away, and Borgo San Dalmazzo, 12 km away, both connected to Demonte by local buses. For meals out, the restaurant A l’Ubac is just 250 meters away, while Wolf Village and ‘l Perol can be reached in a few minutes by heading down the valley towards the town center.

The area is suited to active stays in every season. In summer, the trails of the Alpi Marittime Park allow hikes towards alpine lakes and mountain huts, with convenient starting points even from the hamlets near Demonte; in winter, the ski resorts of the Stura Valley offer downhill ski runs and cross-country ski trails, appreciated by those seeking snow without the crowds of larger resorts.
