Murazzano lies among the green hills between the mountains and the sea
Murazzano is a charming village in the Langhe region of southern Piedmont, about 3.5 km from Casavabene. Perched at an altitude of 793 metres, Murazzano can be seen from far away, and the views from the village are stunning. Murazzano lies along several routes, so it is often visited by passing hikers, road cyclists, motorcyclists and drivers. This gives the village a lively atmosphere. There are a few cafés with terraces, a small shop with a bakery, a butcher, a pastry shop and two good restaurants. Murazzano is known for Murazzano DOP, a cheese made from the milk of an endangered breed of sheep. This cheese takes centre stage at Passeggiando di sera con il Murazzano, a food and wine walk through Murazzano held on the first Saturday of August each year. The village is well worth a visit!

The apartments and what makes Casavabene unique
We’ve intentionally kept our accommodation small, so you can relax and enjoy the real Italian way of life. Here, you’re our guest, and we’re always on hand with personal attention and local tips whenever you need them.
A green oasis on the edge of the forest
The heart of our paradise is the extensive garden on the edge of the woods, where you’ll always find a spot to suit your mood. Dream away in the hammock, settle in with a good glass of wine on the comfortable lounge sofa, or find cool shade beneath the impressive old chestnut tree. There’s plenty of room in the garden to truly unwind. And, nestled among all that greenery, our lovely swimming pool glistens—the perfect place for a refreshing dip in the summer sun.
