A wonderful experience. The view is stunning, and the property is stunning. The rooms are clean and truly lovely, located right in the middle of town. The value for money is excellent. Dinner was divine, with delicious food and generous portions. Breakfast was equally as good. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful. I highly recommend it! If I ever return to this area, I'll definitely stay here again.

A fantastic end to the year, a splendid location and a truly enjoyable experience, with extremely comfortable, warm, and inviting rooms, a spa, and impeccable staff. An extra shout-out to Elisa, the owner, who, in addition to her professionalism, demonstrated great willingness in the past to grant us a vacation we booked but canceled the same day due to an unexpected car problem. Thank you for everything, and goodbye!

We visited Usseaux on our way back from a few days of cross-country skiing in the upper valley. The village is truly delightful and "alive," so well-kept, decorated throughout with murals and slates hanging on the walls (and even on the electrical panel doors of the houses!). We booked lunch at the La Placette restaurant (which also serves as a "scattered" hotel) next to the church, and this review is about this establishment. We were welcomed by a large red cat sleeping peacefully in the sun on the stone windowsill outside one of the restaurant's windows. Once inside, we were seated in a large, ancient room with a low vaulted ceiling, typical of the times when heat needed to be conserved and not lost in the winter. A beautiful log burned in the fireplace. We ordered different courses, but naturally, I'll share my own. First, I'll say that the portions are generous. For the appetizer, we had "Occitan Salad," a simple yet flavorful dish made with beetroot (called "la biarava" in the Piedmontese dialect of the plains) and local potatoes, seasoned with light garlic and anchovies (the latter was sparse). Certainly one of the few vegetables that grow at these altitudes, hence its uniqueness. The first course was a spectacular and delicious dish of Usseaux potato gnocchi with fondue. The gnocchi were truly well-made, soft yet firm (often one thing excludes the other), and the fondue was just right. For the second course, we had stewed sausage with taragna polenta. The sausage was excellent, tasty and not greasy: with the taragna polenta, which has its own unique natural creaminess, the combination was perfect. I (we) had a problem with the dessert, which was clearly not a perfect success, but after a friendly discussion, the chef brilliantly resolved the situation. For wine, a carafe of Dolcetto surprised us with its robustness. It seemed more like a Barbera... We'll definitely be back, in warmer weather, to try the other dishes on the menu. The price is fair, considering the quality of the offerings and the evocative beauty of the town.

A restaurant that earns your trust the moment you walk in. The service is warm, straightforward, and refreshingly unpretentious. The food is delicious, homemade, and crafted with quality ingredients. Even the restrooms are spotless and thoughtfully equipped, including a changing table. 😅 This is a place that truly respects its guests, in the little things and on the plate. A delightful surprise, and a spot I wholeheartedly recommend. 👍

A little gem in the mountains – impeccable stay and unforgettable cuisine. We spent two days in this accommodation surrounded by nature, and the experience was simply perfect. The property is meticulously maintained: a spotlessly clean room with a breathtaking view of the mountains. Relaxation reigns from the moment you arrive. The real highlight, however, is the restaurant. Every dish is a surprise, with local ingredients, authentic flavors, and impeccable presentation. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The only flaw was the hot tub, which didn't work. It's a shame. But we'll be back!

Possibly the best Gnochi in the world! A family run Trattoria that serves an food of exceptional quality in an authentic Italian Alpine village. The quality is above extraordinary and the ambiance is friendly and original. From the welcome to the service nothing is faked! Go and give it a try!
