La sala
Sala del Capitolo
The chapter house, where the monks once spoke their one daily hour, now holds the whole of dinner under its vault. Nine tables, candlelight from the garden’s own wax, and no music but the room.
Ospitalità · Gli spazi & Le Celle
La casa sopra la nebbia
Four rooms for the evening, five cells for the night. The house is small on purpose: everything in it can be reached by the sound of the same bell.
The spaces of the evening
Il giardino
Il Chiostro
The evening opens and closes here, between box hedges and the seven herbs. In clear weather the fog sea performs below; in rain, the arcade keeps you dry and the ritual keeps its shape.
La tavola privata
Lo Scriptorium
The prior’s writing room, one table, the kitchen visible through the old serving hatch. The grand menu, the pairing, and the evening’s menu inked by hand before you leave.
Sotto
La Cripta
Nine metres down, twelve and a half degrees: the cellar visit before dinner or between the eleventh and twelfth toll, by candle, with Pietro.
Le Celle · cinque suite
Sleep in the monks’ quarters
Five cells on the south corridor, restored to their 1642 proportions — each named for what its window sees, because that is the only television in the house. Breakfast is from the garden and the hives; the valley is usually white until ten.
-
La Vigna
The window: the nebbiolo parcel falling south, and the fog sea beyond.
€680 B&B
-
Il Bosco
The window: the hazel wood that names the family and fills the thirteenth toll.
€680 B&B
-
L’Orto
The window: the walled garden, the hives, Michele at six in the morning.
€680 B&B
-
La Fonte
The window: the spring court, whose water is the house’s own, still or sparkling.
€680 B&B
-
La Torre
The tower suite, under the bell itself: two floors, the whole compass of the Langhe, and the first toll a floor above your breakfast.
€1.150 B&B
Cells are offered first to the evening’s dinner guests. Ask for a cell in the notes of your reservation — Agnese answers personally, within the day.
Eventi & privatizzazioni
La Certosa intera
For a wedding of twenty-two, a table of six in the Scriptorium, or the whole house silent around your own people — the certosa closes for one party at a time, never two. These evenings are arranged in conversation, not by form.
