Murazzano suits couples and small families who want cool, quiet Alta Langa hills at about 750 metres, and a sheep's cheese of its own. Most homes here have a pool and garden. Wi-fi is the weak point, so check each listing if you need to work.
Murazzano is a hill village of under a thousand people at 749 metres in the Alta Langa, the less well-known upper side of the Langhe. Its name belongs to a cheese: Murazzano DOP is a small, soft round made mainly from the milk of a native Langhe sheep, and the village is a centre of robiola making. The sanctuary of the Beata Vergine di Hall has frescoes painted with tricks of perspective. Summers up here are cool and windy, and winter brings snow. The area is known above all for hazelnuts. The homes are small, sleeping three to six, and most have a pool and garden. Evenings are quiet; this is a place for long dinners at the house.
Neighbouring village, one of the most panoramic in the Langhe, with the 17th-century Palazzo Balestrino in its centre.
Alta Langa town with a centre of medieval origin, capital of the Tonda Gentile delle Langhe hazelnut and home to the National Hazelnut Festival.
Fly to Turin; Murazzano is about 70 km south-east of the city, and Cuneo, the provincial capital, is about 40 km to the west. Asti is the main railway station for the Langhe, with daily trains from Turin, but beyond it you need a car for the hill roads.
Summers in the Alta Langa are cool and windy, which suits walking and cycling. Autumn brings colour to the woods, and Alba's truffle fair runs from October to November, when it pays to book early. Winter brings snow, so check roads and opening times before a cold-season stay.
A soft cheese made mainly from sheep's milk, with protected DOP status since 1996. It comes from a native Langhe breed, may include some cow's milk, and is sold in small rounds of 300 to 400 grams.
Cool and breezy in summer. Murazzano sits at 749 metres in the Alta Langa, where summers are cool and windy, winters bring snow and the woods turn colour in autumn.
For small families it works well. The homes are compact, sleeping three to six, and most have a pool and garden. Wi-fi is far from standard here, so check each listing.
Turin. Murazzano lies about 70 km south-east of the city, and Cuneo is about 40 km to the west. Hire a car at the airport, as the villages are spread across the hills.
