La Carlina In Prazzo

Thank you Marta for the hospitality you give to the guests who stop in your refuge. I say "yours" because you are the true soul of those walls in that corner of paradise in the Maira Valley. Newly renovated building with spacious dormitories and comfortable bathrooms (a little less showers). Common room with fireplace and adjoining bar area. Spectacular place in the village of Ussuolo where it seems that time has stopped. Marta's cuisine made with the heart. The door is always open even just for a coffee with some resident. From Ussuolo's "first aid for the mind" cassette I borrowed a book of short stories by Pirandello. It's a good reason to come back to visit you from Venice and make it available to someone who needs it. Prints with faded colors emerge from your Polaroid but with portraits that express a moment of happiness experienced together. See you soon Marta and thanks again...

The “La Carlina” refuge, located in the beautiful and quiet village of Ussolo, is an excellent choice for visiting the Maira valley or simply relaxing for a few days. The building is totally renovated and the environment is clean and welcoming. The cuisine is tasty but at the same time simple and light, making it very suitable for those who want to go on excursions. A big thank you to Marta for the passion with which she manages the structure and the care and attention with which she welcomes guests.

Marta's welcome, the pleasantness of the structure and the substantial (but highly digestible!) food make "La Carlina" an excellent starting point for exploring the valley.

Stopped by today for a snack after the walk to Capanna Ussolo, Marta cooked two delicious crêpes. Excellent welcome, cleanliness and courtesy. We wouldn't have wanted anything more.

The Rifugio La Carlina, managed by Marta since this year, turned out to be a very good choice to celebrate New Year's Eve with our group of friends. The dormitories, renovated this summer, are large, warm and welcoming. We spent 2 days playing board games, in a welcoming atmosphere, accompanied by excellent food and the kindness of Marta, always attentive to everyone's needs (vegetarians and various allergies). The clear skies and pink dawns were the setting for a truly special experience. Being a stopping point on the Occitan Routes, the refuge is perfect for both hikers and those simply looking for a quiet place to unwind. highly recommended!
