Locanda La Posta

About

Locanda La Posta is a historic gem in the heart of Cavour, a small town in the Piedmont region of Italy. Dating back to the 17th century, the family-owned restaurant and hotel has long welcomed travellers, dignitaries and theatre performers, including Italy’s first Prime Minister, Count Camillo Benso di Cavour, and famed writer Edmondo De Amicis. The walls of the establishment still echo conversations of generations, and the locally sourced menu reflects the goldern tradition of Piedmontese cuisine passed down through five generations of the Genovesio family. Guests can enjoy the dining experience in a grand, centuries‑old hall that holds up to 250 people. The menu features classic regional dishes such as handmade agnolotti, tagliolini, hearty butter‑and‑sage sauces, and local mountain delicacies. The restaurant’s elegant décor, with antique chimneys and rich woodwork, provides a warm and inviting ambience for both lunch and dinner. For those wishing to stay overnight, the boutique hotel offers single, double and triple rooms, each named after notable historical figures who have stayed at Locanda La Posta. The rooms feature modern comforts such as internet access and a private garden terrace overlooking the Parco Naturale della Rocca di Cavour and the mountain of Monviso. Besides the culinary and accommodation experience, Locanda La Posta also provides an attentive catering service for weddings, anniversaries, and other celebrations. The team’s culinary expertise and elegant menu options make it a popular choice for those looking to host a memorable event in a historic setting.
