LOCANDA DEL MOLINO VECCHIO

Only 8km away from Alba, in the hamlet of Cornale in the historical Roero town of Magliano Alfieri, the "Locanda del Molino Vecchio" is waiting for you: cosy building offering six comfortable rooms, it takes its name form the old adjoining mill built at the end of the 16th century.

This inn was originally the old cowshed from the eighteen hundreds, with overhanging straw storage, where the animals of the owners' family used to lodge.


After a wise and refined renovation, ended only in spring 2004, six rooms with private bathrooms were born here on the upper floor and, on the lower floor, a roomy living room with entrance/reading room, kitchen and bathroom.

The warm and pleasant atmosphere that is spread in the house immediately gets to our guests that, even for short stays, get right away involved by the warm hospitality that welcomes them at their arrival.

The broad garden includes a walnut trees wood, the biological kitchen garden and fruit trees; it also allows relaxing walks immersed in a green oasis.

The entrance of the inn finds itself on track n° 3 of the Roero paths, at this point the track runs along the canal of the Magliano mills, it's practicable by bike or horse (there is a riding track in the surroundings) and it links up other villages of the Roero such as Priocca, Castellinaldo and Canale.

Crossing the Asti-Alba highway and going east towards the river Tanaro, you can have access to a naturalistic oasis where you can watch birds from special huts.


From here, going southwards, you get into a close net of biking tracks that run along the river up until Alba.
