The Property — B&B Boja Fauss
B&B Boja Fauss is a small, family-run 3-star bed and breakfast in Cuneo's historic centre, a few steps from Piazza Galimberti. The décor is simple and traditional, with tiled floors, wooden furniture, and a clean, no-fuss feel. It suits travellers who want a good-value base for exploring Piedmont rather than a boutique design statement. Standing in the lobby you smell fresh coffee from the breakfast room and hear the owner giving directions to the best local bakers.
Chronicles of Cuneo
Cuneo was founded in 1198 by refugees from the Lombard league who sought a defensible plateau between the Gesso and Stura rivers. Its name means 'wedge', reflecting the shape of the original settlement. The city was a key Savoy military stronghold, and its architecture shows a grid-plan of porticoed streets and baroque churches, largely unaltered after the 19th century. Today Cuneo is a lively provincial capital known for its Sunday market, artisanal food producers, and as the gateway to the Maritime Alps.
Best Time to Visit
Full Cuneo guide →Best months
May, June, September – warm days, little rain, and the summer peak crowds haven't arrived or have already left. The surrounding countryside is green and the local markets are full of seasonal produce.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak for Italian summer holidays. Cuneo fills with tourists headed to the Maritime Alps and local festivals (Festa del Cuneo in July). Hotel prices rise 20-30% and advance booking is essential.
Budget shoulder season
April and October offer mild weather, lower prices (often 15-25% less than July), and fewer visitors. Many restaurants and attractions still operate fully, and the autumn colours in the hills are impressive.
Weather & packing
Cuneo sits at nearly 500m altitude, so summer evenings can be cool even when daytime hits 30°C. Pack a light jacket or jumper for evenings, and always carry a compact umbrella – afternoon thunderstorms are common in July.

Your Perfect Room
