Il Cortile is a bed and breakfast in Bra, in the heart of the Piedmontese Langhe, offering rooms and a suite with private bathroom, air conditioning and free WiFi arranged around a characteristic inner courtyard.
The accommodations, from the more compact 14-square-metre rooms to the 40-square-metre Suite with independent entrance and fireplace, are designed for both short and extended stays: each unit features a flat-screen TV, minibar, coffee machine and private bathroom with courtesy set. The property also offers laundry service, luggage storage and a 24-hour reception, as well as a common area with a bar and snack bar for in-room breakfast on request.
Bra, the birthplace of Slow Food and gateway to the UNESCO World Heritage hills of Roero and Langhe, is well suited both to food-and-wine stays and to those visiting the area for work: the historic centre, restaurants and typical cafés are just steps from the property, while Cuneo-Levaldigi Airport is about 23 km away.
Il Cortile offers four types of accommodation, all with private bathroom, air conditioning, flat-screen TV and minibar, spread across different floors around the inner courtyard that gives the property its name. Sizes range from the 14 sqm of the coziest double room to the 40 sqm of the Suite, designed for those seeking more space and privacy.
The Suite stands out for its independent entrance, fireplace and living area separate from the bedroom, ideal for families or extended stays. The other rooms alternate between city views and views of the inner courtyard, with flexible bed configurations — some offer the option of adding a sofa bed — and balconies overlooking the centre of Bra. All accommodations include an in-room washing machine and coffee machine.
The Suite is the largest accommodation in the property, with 40 sqm spread between a separate living area, bedroom and private bathroom with shower and bidet. It has an independent entrance, fireplace and a view of the inner courtyard, plus its own washing machine and welcome chocolates: the ideal choice for those seeking more space or staying longer.
At 17 sqm, this is the largest of the twin rooms, designed for those travelling in a group or who don’t share a double bed. The external private bathroom includes shower, bidet and hairdryer, while the windows offer a view over the city of Bra, unlike the courtyard view of the other rooms.
This 16 sqm double room stands out for its flexible bed configuration, which can be supplemented with a sofa bed to accommodate up to three people. The balcony overlooks the city, while the external private bathroom is fitted with a walk-in shower, a convenient alternative to a bathtub.
The coziest room in the property, at 14 sqm designed for a couple. Unlike the other double room, here the balcony looks directly onto the inner courtyard, and the private bathroom with walk-in shower is located inside the room rather than externally.

The property offers a 24-hour reception, luggage storage service, private check-in and check-out and laundry service, as well as daily room cleaning. Also available are an on-site mini-market, snack and drink vending machines, iron and free WiFi throughout the property.

Guests staying at Il Cortile can spend their days exploring the wine-growing hills of Roero and Langhe, among wineries, Barolo and Barbaresco tastings and the towns of Alba and La Morra, both reachable by car in about half an hour. The Cedar of Lebanon natural park, 11 km away, and Cavour Castle, about 12 km away, are suitable destinations for a day trip, as is the Sferisterio, 8 km away, for those who enjoy the traditional Piedmontese game of pallone elastico. In autumn the town comes alive with the Cheese Fair and the grape harvest, while in spring and summer the surrounding hills offer ideal routes for walking and cycling among vineyards and farmhouses.
