Piazza d’Assi flat is located on the top floor of Palazzo d’Assi, a building that dates back to 927 AD, in the historic centre of Monforte d’Alba, with a breath-taking panoramic view of the Langhe hills, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Piazza d’Assi flat is the jewel of Palazzo d’Assi, with its panoramic view and the truly unique combination of ancient walls and modern design.
The entrance porch, from which you will get access to the flat, was the place where municipal publications were posted, and is still owned by the Municipality of Monforte today, even though it is used by our guests. From the porch, you can enter the flat through the surprising corridor with a vaulted ceiling clad with barrel staves and backlit wrought iron sculptures.
To the left of the corridor you will find the first bedroom, with a bunk bed and a single bed. Here we invite you to the charm of discovery, going in search of a wall graffiti that bears a small child’s drawing and the date 926. After this first bedroom, the bathroom with minimal and refined design and light patterns combining rustic charm and modern aesthetics. Finally, the great space of the large, open space kitchen with its 5 arched windows literally overlooking the Langhe, at the sight of which you will be enchanted.
