Relais Del Nazionale – Teritoria is a 4-star mountain chalet in Vernante, in the province of Cuneo, with a free wellness centre featuring a hot tub, sauna and steam room. The property occupies a distinctive building with exposed wooden beam ceilings, in a small village in the Maritime Alps just a few kilometres from the French border.
It’s a good choice for those seeking a stay between mountains and relaxation, both in winter and summer: the Relais organises a free shuttle service to the Limone Piemonte ski slopes, about 5 km away, and offers car and bicycle rental for excursions in the warmer months. The rooms, all renovated, have parquet floors, period furniture and free Wi-Fi; some room types offer garden or mountain views and a four-poster bed.
Rounding out the offering are an in-house restaurant much appreciated by guests and breakfast, served in several variants including vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free. The location, about 20 km south of Cuneo, is convenient both for those arriving by car and for those using the nearby Vernante railway station.
The rooms at Relais Del Nazionale – Teritoria share a common layout with parquet floors, period furnishings, air conditioning, flat-screen TV and a private bathroom, elements that convey the chalet’s traditional character while offering updated amenities. All room types come with an extra-large double bed and a minibar, designed to ensure a comfortable stay both for couples and for those staying a few days for excursions in the area.
The range includes three options with different sizes, from 22 to 30 m², and distinctive features that set them apart: some rooms overlook the village’s main street with a city view, others look onto the inner garden and surrounding mountains, with a private balcony. The Triple Room with Garden View adds a configurable sofa bed for a third guest, making it the most suitable choice for families with children or small groups who wish to share the same space.
The Double Room is the property’s most compact room type, starting from 22 m², located on the side facing the village street, with a city view. Equipped with air conditioning, flat-screen TV and a minibar, it is designed for those seeking an essential yet detail-conscious solution in the chalet’s typical furnishing style.
Larger than the standard Double Room, this 30 m² Superior room stands out for its private balcony with garden and mountain views, plus a bathtub instead of just a shower. An ideal option for those wanting more space and a direct glimpse of the surrounding alpine landscape.
The only room type designed for three guests, this 30 m² room adds a configurable sofa bed alongside the double bed, plus a balcony and garden view. It is the most suitable solution for families or small groups who want to share the same space without giving up private outdoor space.
