Just 60 seconds from the Alba Cathedral, this cozy and carefully decorated apartment overlooks Alba’s main square. It features a double bedroom, a living room with a fully equipped kitchenette and a sofa bed, and a private bathroom with a shower, bidet, and complimentary toiletries. The apartment is equipped with air conditioning in every room, free Wi-Fi, and a flat-screen TV with access to Netflix, Disney+, and Prime Video. A coffee machine, electric kettle, and a welcome bottle of Langhe wine are also available to help you start your stay in the best way. Centrally located, it’s perfect for exploring the city on foot, with a supermarket just 100 meters away and a large public paid parking lot right in front of the building—ideal for those traveling by car. Perfect for couples, families, or small groups seeking comfort and authenticity in the heart of the Langhe region.
My name is Gabriele and I'm happy to welcome you to my hometown, Alba. I'm 27 years old and was born and raised here, in the heart of the Langhe hills. I deeply love this region, and my work in hospitality comes from the desire to share its beauty and charm with people from all over the world. What I enjoy most about hosting is meeting new people and helping them make the most of their stay—taking care of every detail and being available for any need. Whether it’s a great restaurant, a local event, or a hidden winery, I’m always happy to share my personal recommendations. In my free time, I love traveling, discovering new cuisines, walking through the vineyards, and enjoying a good glass of wine. If you like, I’ll be glad to help you experience Alba like a true local!
The apartment is located in Piazza Elvio Pertinace, one of the most charming squares in Alba’s historic center, named after the Roman emperor who was born right here in the city. The area is lively yet peaceful, ideal for immersing yourself in the authentic atmosphere of Alba, surrounded by historic buildings, artisan shops, and the inviting aromas of local restaurants and pastry shops. Just a short walk away, you'll find the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, museums, wine bars, cafés, and boutiques, making this the perfect location to explore the city comfortably on foot. On weekends, the square comes alive with small markets and local events, offering a unique and genuine experience in the heart of the Langhe region. A perfect neighborhood for those looking to enjoy all the charm of Alba—its culture, gastronomy, and warm hospitality.
