Horseback riding: an experience with room for improvement.
We recently visited the agriturismo for a horseback riding experience. Unfortunately, despite having a confirmed reservation, something was forgotten and we had to wait about an hour before starting the activity.
While waiting, we noticed a certain mess and less than optimal cleanliness in the areas surrounding the agriturismo. This is a shame, because you can feel the presence of objects and details that could be very nice if better cared for. The restaurant, on the other hand, seemed to be very busy, suggesting that the cuisine is of a good standard.
As for the horseback riding, the experience was overall pleasant and the route very beautiful. However, we were a little perplexed by the fact that we were not provided with helmets, with the explanation of "heat". Although we understand the intent, the feeling that they were not perfectly clean reinforced our preference not to wear them.
Special praise goes to the guy who accompanied us: he was extremely kind and full of energy, running alongside us for the entire duration of the journey, demonstrating true strength. The only small criticism concerns the post-ride aperitif: perhaps it would have been preferable if it was served by someone who was not recovering from such intense physical effort, and therefore sweaty. Also, the food was poor, 3 pizzas for 12 people.
In summary, the place has great potential and the horseback ride was truly enjoyable. We strongly recommend paying more attention to order and cleanliness to make the overall experience even more excellent.

Wonderful experience immersed in a small village in the lower Stura valley. We found this place through a book that tells the story of small Piedmontese mountain families.
Driven by curiosity and the desire to try horseback riding, we were pleasantly surprised by the beauty of the place and the kindness of Aurora, the head of the family, and Davide, the son and responsible for the horses.
The latter has a lot of passion and love for these beautiful animals and made us feel at ease from the beginning to the end of the walk, which lasted about 2 hours.
Aperitif and dinner were truly appreciated and delicious, all strictly homemade and cooked with love
Tidy and very nice bedroom, with the presence of a small balcony and internal mezzanine. Optimal cleaning
We will definitely return but above all we recommend anyone who loves the mountains and their authenticity to come and try this experience

Beautiful location, the horseback ride under the guidance of Davide, very attentive and kind, was truly fantastic. My first time on horseback was such a nice and easy experience, so I repeated it and will definitely do it again!

We stayed today, a beautiful day so we were able to appreciate the place which is in a beautiful panoramic position and in a beautiful context between ancient things and a welcoming structure, the aperitif based on different tastings of Piedmontese appetizers and the freshly prepared pizza served outdoors on an old agricultural wagon (spectacular), the drinks served on a special terrace... very nice, then we had lunch inside in very charming environments and the food was excellent, all at a more than good price, the owner was very kind and with a desire to talk......we had a nice day
