Full description
'There is a little house this small', sang Lucio Dalla. And there really is... in the woods of Garessio, in the province of Cuneo.
Spend a night in the little Humus house , an intimate refuge where every detail invites you to slow down. During the day you can cool off in a small outdoor pool, while at night you lie down under the clear sky, lulled by the sounds of nature.
The ideal place to switch off and disconnect from the world!
What we will do
Check-in is from 3. 00 pm at the property in Garessio (CN). On arrival, you will be welcomed by the hosts, Andrea and Clarissa, and shown to your little cottage amongst the trees.
The Humus cabin overlooks Monte Galero, one of the peaks of the Ligurian Alps, and is built of wood, with large glass walls that let in all the light and colours of the woodland. Inside, you’ll find a double bed, storage space for your belongings, blankets, power sockets and designer pieces that add a touch of warmth.
Outside, a small private hot tub awaits you, perfect for cooling off whilst enjoying views of the surrounding woods; you’ll also have access to the property’s communal swimming pool . If you wish, you can take part in some extra activities organised at the farmhouse (booking required, payable on site) , to immerse yourself in the rhythms of nature and rediscover ancient crafts and traditions:
- ‘walking with the sheep’ trek (€20 per person or €35 including an aperitif) ;
- cheese-making workshop (€25 per person) .
Your stay includes a simple breakfast with coffee and biscuits. In addition, you can order a picnic basket with breakfast or an aperitif featuring local produce and a glass of wine (€24 per couple, payable on site) .
