Il Nido di Cate: Your Rental Home in Fossano

There are places with the power to make you feel at home from the very first moment. Il Nido di Cate is one of them.
An intimate, quiet two-room apartment in the heart of Fossano’s historic center, just steps away from the Acaja Castle (you can see it from the window) and the main squares. Here, history and everyday life meet, and every detail is designed to offer you an authentic, comfortable stay full of atmosphere.

An apartment that speaks of history

The name is no coincidence: Il Nido di Cate was created as a tribute to a strong and generous woman — the owner’s mother — who always kept this house as a family refuge. Today, it opens its doors to those looking for a vacation home in Fossano, a place where warmth and simplicity meet, and where you’ll feel welcomed into a living space with its own story to tell.

The apartment is located on the first floor of an ancient building. As you step inside, you’re greeted by a suspended atmosphere, with exposed wooden beams that recall the village’s medieval past. From the windows, you can enjoy a view of the Acaja Castle, which lights up at night to create almost fairytale-like scenes.

The interiors

The two-room apartment consists of a living area, fully equipped kitchen, a cozy double bedroom and a functional bathroom. The layout of the space is well thought out and gives a pleasant feeling of order and coziness.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need — whether it’s for slow breakfasts, quick lunches, or homemade dinners. At its center, a dining table becomes the perfect gathering spot to share the day’s moments. The cozy living area preserves vintage furnishings with character: a 1950s Singer sewing machine and a family cabinet are details that turn this apartment into a truly unique place, unlike any ordinary home.

The double bedroom is simple and bright, furnished in soft tones that invite to rest. A space designed to recharge after a day spent exploring Fossano’s historic center or the landscapes of the Langhe and Monviso.

The bathroom is practical and essential and it is equipped with everything necessary to ensure functionality and comfort.

An ideal location

One of Il Nido di Cate’s greatest strengths is its location. Right in the heart of Fossano, it lets you experience the city on foot: the Castle, the elegant arcades, the intimate squares, and the historic cafés are all just minutes away. Strolling through the old town becomes a true delight, with glimpses of Monviso and an atmosphere that is unmistakably Piedmontese.

At the same time, Fossano is the perfect base for exploring the Langhe, the Roero hills, and the Cuneo valleys. Alba, Barolo, Mondovì, and Cuneo are all within easy driving distance. The apartment is an ideal choice for anyone looking for a vacation home in Fossano as a starting point for excursions, wine tastings, or weekend getaways.

The city is also well connected thanks to the railway station, from which trains depart to Turin and the main cities of Piedmont.
