Locanda Occitana Lou Pitavin

“Congratulations to Lou Pitavin family! It was a wonderful time at your lovely place. The rooms are very clean, cosy, well decorated, spacious. The cook is delicious The garden, the river, the nature are surrounding the house. I was there in September 2020 and would like to come back as soon as possible. Many thanks to the kind team.”

“I went there for one night with friends on a tour along the Franco-Italian border. One night was way too short! Beautiful place in a cute village where they know how to attract tourists for sure...in a good way! The chalet is beautiful, nice grounds, amazing food, beautiful bedrooms. The breakfast room is rather small but you'll get over it :-) Everything is homemade and after a good start of the day with a full stomach, you can hit beautiful trails along the Occitan country.”

“The best food we had in the Maira valley - by a large margin! The menu changed everyday based on produce availability, and each and every single plate was a delight: succulent pork ribs, juicy roasted veal or chicken cacciatore that fell off the bones, a hearty minestrone, mushroom or orzo soup, zingy trout salad, you name it. The contorni changed each day and there was always an abundant choice of antipasti and pasta dishes to complement the secondi. To boot, Marco bakes the best polenta bread to soak up all the sauces, olive oil and butter! Breakfast was also great, and the prepared lunch package with the two small sandwiches and homemade cake were the best to fuel our hiking adventures in the region. The staff is incredibly friendly, and made excellent negronis and spritzes at their bar - this place really hit all the buttons and I cannot recommend it enough for anyone looking for a restaurant for dinner or a place to stay several nights.”
