A Weekend in Piedmont 〰️
We’ve fallen in love with the "Slow Living" philosophy of the Hemanaire Valley, and can't wait to share it with you. Our wedding festivities will be centered in this peaceful sanctuary.
There are two stunning properties within the valley, Casa Mana and Casa Hema. These sister hotels are only 1 minute apart and offer a perfect retreat for our wedding weekend.
Given we have a limited number of rooms available, we will reach out to you to share best options including nearby accommodations.
Casa Mana
The name "Mana," inspired by the Hawaiian word for "life force," reflects the very essence of this place.
Casa Hema
Inspired by the meaning of “Hema,” the Sesotho word for “to breathe,” this retreat invites you to rediscover life’s natural rhythm.
Hemanaire is in Cremolino, among the hills of the Ovadese in Alto Monferrato.
From Genoa: ~50 minutes
From Milan: ~75 minutes
The nearest railway stop is Prasco–Cremolino, but we recommend Ovada (only 10 minutes away), which is easier to reach from both Milan and Genoa.
Reaching Casa Hema & Casa Mana — Which house are you heading to?
The access road is the same; the two houses sit in different positions within the valley.
