The Pellice Valley and the Waldensians
The area, in the words of Verticalife, “is an unspoiled jewel of the Cottian Alps less than an hour’s drive from Turin, where the plains give way to majestic mountains with peaks of more than 3,000 meters.”
During the hikes you will encounter “beautiful forests, rivers, waterfalls, mountain pastures, mountain huts and remote villages.” There is no shortage of stops to taste local cuisine and moments of pause to savor the delicious dishes of traditional Piedmontese mountain cuisine.
The Pellice Valley is the “homeland” of the Waldensians: it was the backdrop for the persecutions and struggles for freedom and affirmation of the Waldensian community. Coming to know the history of the Waldensians, one realizes that important historical and human events strongly connote this almost wild territory.
A place where harmony reigns
The guesthouse is part of the Waldensian Houses. It consists of four historic buildings that embrace the large, well-maintained private garden.
The kindness of the staff, cleanliness and tranquility are elements that distinguish the vacation home of the Waldensian Diaconia open to all and sundry from spring to fall.
The guesthouse accommodates members of the Waldensian Church in the context of church activities; welcomes individual and group travelers who come to the Pellice Valley for study purposes stemming from the historical, cultural and environmental interest in these fascinating places; and facilitates rejuvenating vacation and rest stays for all ages.
It is just the cozy place to return to in order to enjoy moments of relaxation after physical activity and to rethink the natural beauty and peculiarities of the area discovered during a day spent outdoors.
