The Wonder Woods of Sant’Ambrogio

A few kilometers from Turin, just at the base of the Sacra di San Michele, there is an “enchanted” place that I recently discovered thanks to my wife.

To reach it you have to get to Sant’Ambrogio and from there walk a piece of the old mule track that goes up to the Sacra and at some point you meet the entrance to the wood.

You will thus be catapulted into a strange environmnet, far from our usual urban rhythms and everyday’schaos.

You will find the throne of Arthur, the corner of the witches, the giant pencils, the house of the gnomes and much more.

A place that reminded me of when I was a child taking me to a playground where the only attractions were fixed things (in the sense without roller coasters, electricity and noise) and you only enjoyed yourself if you let yourself go to your imagination.

Actually this is a location created ad hoc by people who want to combine their passion and work and you can view their offer here at http://boscodellemeraviglie.it/, surely you will find something interesting to entertain your children (but in the end all of us have fun in this place!).

In any case it is worth taking a walk inside even when there are no activities (it’s an open space), the important thing is to always respect the environment and leave things as they are!

 

Do you want to try the Via Ferrata? We will come with you!

The Via Ferrata is a route that takes place in the mountains, mainly on steep walls or even vertically, where to climb along a path with ironed steps, always hooked to a safety cable (hence the name of Via Ferrata).

Near Turin there are beautiful Via Ferrata, of all levels of difficulty and with different landscapes, some usable all year round, others only in spring / summer, but obviously it is not recommended to practice this sport outside of summer.

If you have the curiosity to try this sport, near our BnB 83 there is a shop that rents the necessary technical equipment and in about 50 minutes by car you reach the Chianocco’s Ferrata (Orrido di Chianocco). A short but very interesting Via Ferrata for those who have never practiced this sport.

So if you want to try this “adventure”, we will gladly come with you!

 

Lunch and Dinner at BnB 83

As anticipated, in the end I decided to do it and I set up both the courtyard and the kitchen to start offering all my guests both aperitifs and mainly Piedmontese and Roman lunches and dinners.

I propose simple menus, but typical of both Piedmont and Rome, with dishes that can certainly be appreciated by both adults and children.

Everything is cooked expressly by me, or latey the day before regarding the desserts, which need to rest and cool in the refrigerator, or the marinade of the Piedmontese braised beef that takes about 12 hours to marinate.

Here you can find photos of how the garden was set up for lunch; in the evening the atmosphere is even more romantic and “enchanted”.
Let’s say that the courtyard is transformed into a small exclusive corner of the Crocetta area in Turin.

If you want to spend a nice evening or a good lunch with me do not hesitate to contact me to book your dinner or lunch at the BnB 83.

You will not regret it!

Wandering Italia has begun! Go Manuel!

A dedication to a friend, a brother, a fool, but in the end only a brave person and a father tied to his daughter and his family.
Yesterday Manuel’s adventure started (Manuel Chiacchiararelli in art 🙂 that will lead him to walk alone across the Apennines and the Alps on a journey of about 4 months.
The reasons for this trip are many and often personal, but it will surely be nice for all of us to follow him in this adventure and discover through his photos and stories the people, the new friends, the animals and the difficulties he will find during his long journey.
You can follow his journey and support him indirectly on the website www.wanderingitalia.it or on his Facebook page Inerro.land.
Grande Manu, go on !

And here the Aperitif at BnB 83

Aperitif at the BnB 83? Now you can!

The BnB 83 allows you to relax in our own little courtyard while sipping some excellent wines, a beer or a properly made Spritz.

We are also this, simple moments of relaxation in the center of Turin.

And if you want to continue spending time with us even in the evening, we can prepare you a delicious Roman dinner to be savored in our courtyard.
