What we love

It is so hard to find a luxury catered chalet in Italy and this property is a stunning example of chic design meets rustic farmhouse......and what makes it even better is you can ski back to your front door.

Overview

Baita 1697 is a stone’s throw from the bottom of a cable car that carries you up to the heart of Sestriere's Milky Way, a ski area extending over 400km, which has been taken over by an English management company with the aim of making it the Aspen of Europe. The owners moved to the nearby Monferrato wine region of Italy to set up a school on a natural winery, and are bringing the benefit of their local knowledge in a number of ways. You can take the cable car (100m from the lodge) to the heart of the 400km of pisted slopes that cover Cesana, Claviere, Sansicario, Sauze d’Oulx and Sestriere (plus Montgenevre on the French side of the border); collectively known as The Milky Way.

The lodge is a 17th century Piedmontese farmhouse lovingly restored by an acclaimed interior designer to such great success that it was also featured in a edition of Architectural Digest Magazine. The old farmhouse sleeps up to 18, and sleeps 12 adults and six children across five master en-suites, a media room with a sofa fold out double bed and a children's dorm room. The bedrooms are fully furnished to a luxurious standard and feature custom made Egyptian cotton bed sheets and bathrooms with underfloor heating, top of the range fittings and salon standard hair dryers. Guests can enjoy a warm and cosy vibe combined with spectacular views of the mountain peaks.

Other features of the property are an International film/music library, extremely spacious communal living space with wood-burning open fire, media room with wood-burning open fire (convertible to double bedroom) and a mountain-view roof terrace with eight-person wooden hot tub. 

The Baita 1697 team will also be offering carefully selected, local, organic food; and natural wine from the Monferrato. As demands for clean and naturally sourced foods and wine is more often appreciated and even sought after in the modern day, the owners of Baita 1697 are incredibly excited to bring this lifestyle to their guests at Baita. The menu will remain honest and local to traditional Italian alpine cuisine, but with a modern and fresh twist, using locally sourced ingredients where possible. The free flow wines are organic, if not biodynamic and naturally produced in the cantina, using minimal intervention of chemicals/additives. Ready for an awesome ski holiday and apres-ski without the hangover?! All of this is within three minutes walk to the cable car and return ski access allows you to ski back to your front door.
