Monolocale in Via Umberto Primo 7

Sambuco sits in the upper Valle Maira in the Cottian Alps (Alpi Cozie). The Maira torrent runs the length of the valley and is the main watercourse in the area. The local terrain is high and alpine in character, with surrounding peaks and ridges of the Cottian Alps within a few kilometres of the village. There is no large coastal or lake shoreline inside a 15 km radius. There is no major national park headquartered inside 15 km (the area is outside Italy’s best-known national-park cores). Within 15 km there are no large ski-resort complexes; major downhill ski lifts are located in other nearby valleys and higher ski areas are a drive away. Within 15 km the settlements are small mountain villages and hamlets; the nearest larger service towns (for markets and rail connections) lie down-valley (for example Dronero and Busca are the nearest towns of size, at a greater driving distance). Sambuco is in the Occitan-speaking area of the upper Maira valley and the valley is known for its network of mountain trails and for small traditional alpine hamlets.
