Cherasco, Piedmont 12062

The historic building, dating back to the early 17th century, is part of an ancient monastic complex recently renovated. The restoration, of a conservative nature, highlighted the trompe-l'il frescoes and preserved original architectural elements such as the sandstone staircase, terracotta floors, and exposed ceiling beams. Known as the Hermitage of the Camaldolese, the building spans three levels and is accessible via a short dirt road immersed in the woods. At the entrance, a small garden and a large porch welcome guests. On the ground floor, once dedicated to worship, there is now a dining area consisting of the Marian chapel with Baroque furnishings and period icons, the former sacristy, a main frescoed hall, the kitchen, and a practical bathroom. The first floor houses four bedrooms, a bathroom, and a large attic above the chapel, a versatile space easily customizable. The property is completed by an evocative underground cellar, with exposed brick vaults and a traditional infernot. Suitable for multiple uses, the historic building represents a unique opportunity for those who wish to enhance a place rich in charm and memory, awaiting a partial restoration that will fully restore its authentic beauty and timeless character.
