Nestled in the green hills surrounding the ancient city of Mondovì, Villa Durando represents a charming retreat that combines history and tranquility. This historic residence, once the summer home of General Giovanni Durando, has been restored to its former glory thanks to the dedication of the Giaccone family, preserving the atmosphere of a bygone era while offering all modern comforts.
The villa features six classic rooms, each characterized by elegant wooden floors and equipped with private bathrooms, TV, and minibar. Guests can choose from two beautifully appointed suites, one of which boasts decorated ceilings and a sofa bed, perfect for families or groups, while the other offers lofted spaces with a balcony that provides breathtaking views of the historic Piazza di Mondovì. The presence of a spacious lounge furnished with period decorations and a cozy fireplace invites pleasant evenings, accompanied by the melodies of a piano.

Additionally, the villa is equipped with an outdoor swimming pool, presented as an ideal place to refresh during hot summer days, and a gym with a steam room, perfect for those wishing to stay fit.
In every corner of the villa, the fragrance of local tradition permeates, starting with breakfasts prepared with fresh, typical ingredients from Piedmont, including homemade specialties. Alongside the sweet and savory delights, there are made-to-order dishes such as scrambled eggs. Guests can also take advantage of the game room with a TV, where they can sip some of the finest Piedmontese wines.
Villa Durando is located a short distance from the center of Mondovì Breo and serves as an excellent starting point for exploring the surrounding mountains and the famous ski slopes of Piedmont, as well as the prestigious vineyards of the Langhe region, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, where one can taste excellent wines and typical dishes.
