Cozy apartment in the historic center.

La Mansarda is a cozy apartment in Alba, the capital of the become Langhe
recently UNESCO World Heritage Site together with Roero and Monferrato.
The apartment is on the third floor with a lift to the second floor. It consists of the living room (8 seats), lounge, equipped kitchenette, 3 bedrooms for 6 adults + a single bed in the 90 x 200 living room, (possibility of adding a free cot for children up to 3 years), 2 bathrooms (one with shower box- one with whirlpool tub), laundry room (washing machine, ironing board and iron), small terrace overlooking the rooftops and hills of Alba. Reserved parking space in private courtyard.
The main advantage of the apartment is certainly the location; in fact it is located in the historic center (150 meters from the main street Via V. Emanuele) with the possibility to park the car comfortably in the courtyard for the duration of the stay.
Walking through the streets you can discover restaurants, taverns, wine bars as well as museums churches.
If, on the other hand, you decide to visit the surroundings, you can admire the enchanting landscapes that the Langa offers with its hills cultivated with vineyards where excellent and fine wines are obtained which you can taste in the wine cellars in the many restaurants.
Possibility to take walks through 8 itineraries in the heart of the Langhe with expert guide, excursions suitable for everyone, without technical difficulties. Reservation is required, participation fees are € 7 for adults, € 3 for children from 10 to 16 years, free for children.
If interested in this type of experience, I will be happy to provide telephone numbers for further information.

Perfect to explore Piedmont
1. Christina (property manager) made everything so easy, check-in to check-out and was always quick to answer any questions. 2. The apartment is huge for European standards, tons of living space and space in the bedrooms. The air conditioning was a life saver as temps during our stay topped 100 degrees. The secure & reserved parking was large enough for my XC90 and easy to navigate. 3. Great location in Alba, so many options for dinner are within an easy walk. Also, the apartment is centrally located to easily access Barolo or Barbaresco wine regions. Will stay there again on my next visit to the region.

A spacious and well equipped apartment in the heart of Alba
This apartment has all you need for having a good experience in Alba – even when it is 34 degrees outside it is cool because of an efficient air con. It is situated in the old part of Alba close to a big selection of restaurants and shop. The landlord Cristina is very kind and service minded – she even welcomed us with a bottle of wine and water and juice in the fridge.

A delightful apartment. There were all the things we needed. Super down parking in the yard. We would like to come back. Lovely teresa. Alba is a lovely city with many opportunities for trips in the countryside. Many big wine experiences are only a few km away. In the evening there is often music on the squares. Good food in many difference restaurants. KT and Christine, DK
