From love to restoration: the secret history of Cascina Facelli from 1840 to today

From abandonment to rebirth: discover how Cascina Facelli came to life, one of the most fascinating residences in the Langhe. A story of love, passion, and authenticity.

It was 2015 when we first saw the farmhouse. An old building from 1840, hidden among the hills of the Alta Langa.
It was in ruins, forgotten by time and people. But for us, it was love at first sight. We didn’t see crumbling stones, but potential, beauty, future.

This is how Cascina Facelli was born: a life project, even before a hospitality project. A story we now share with those who choose to stay here.

The restoration lasted three years, carefully executed and respectful of the soul of the place.
We preserved everything that could be saved: stone, wood, original beams. Every design choice was made with care, taste, and respect for history.

• The suites have kept all their original details.
• We integrated modern design elements to offer comfort and style.
• Local materials: Langa stone and reclaimed wood.

Every room has a soul, a personality, and a story that tells of our love for this land.

During the work, every day brought a new discovery. Behind old walls, we found ancient objects, forgotten letters, farming tools. Every detail was a source of inspiration.

A few curiosities:

• Suite D’La Paja owes its name to the old barn that stored straw for the animals and the chicken coop.
• Suite Art hosts contemporary artworks, perfectly blending with the antique.

The garden was wild and overgrown; today it’s an oasis with aromatic herbs, flowers, and private corners.

The spring-water pool was a dream from the start; today it’s a reality.

These details are not random: they are conscious choices, made with passion, love, and care.
