Presentation

We live in the house next to the B&B: we always welcome our guests in person and we personally take care of breakfast and make your stay as close as possible to an authentic family experience.

Nadia, retired English teacher, was born in the hills of San Martino Alfieri and with that generous land that has always been in her heart. Sandro, a banker with a passion for good things as it once was, renovations and DIY in the open air. Forty years of marriage, two children scattered around the world, and the desire to rediscover the rhythms and places of a past time.

In 2007 we undertook the renovation of Nadia's old family home, the walls where her great-grandmother – the 'granda' – entertained the family with the stories told in the heat of the stable, now our breakfast room.

Generations and voices that still resonate among the rooms of our B & B, memories of hands that have built and cared for those places over the years, working the land, taking care of the family, starting from Nadia's great-grandmother up to her mother, Ines, who was born and raised in this house and who used to return here every summer, to breathe the good air of his childhood.

When we decided to open the house to our guests we immediately thought of them, our ancestors, of their sense of hospitality, typical of those who have little yet offer so much. Times have changed, but we hope that the spirit that animates our company has remained the same – that's why we decided to call the B&B 'La Granda': in honor of all the grandmothers who followed one another between these walls and who taught us the art of hospitality with the heart.
