About Us

nidìn was born from a simple wish: to keep a family home alive and full of shared experiences.

The house in Sardigliano has belonged to Gian Luca’s family for generations. His grandparents lived here, his parents cared for it, and he was born within these walls. For many years, it was also a shop – a place with open doors and people constantly passing through.

When it was time to decide its future, selling it didn’t feel right, and neither did renting it anonymously.

So together, Raffaella and Gian Luca chose to transform it into something that honors the past while welcoming new memories.

Raffaella grew up in a large family, where no one needed an invitation and tables were filled with food and conversation. She was raised in a home defined by hospitality. For her, welcoming with warmth and care is a natural instinct.

Her greatest joy is hearing guests say they slept deeply and felt truly cared for.

In fact, nidìn is inspired by la casa dei nonni – that feeling of warmth, safety, and being extra spoiled, that grandparents give their grandchildren. You’ll sense it in the small details: scented linens and towels, antique family furniture, photographs on the doors, homemade breakfast treats
prepared by a local home bakery in memory of Gian Luca’s mother, who loved to bake.

nidìn, a name that reads the same both ways, is your little nest in the hills: a place to rest, explore from, and feel at home.

Family owned.
Family run.
Full of history.

What they say about us

Anna – Armenia

A special stay; we felt right at home

We had such a pleasant stay that we decided to extend it by a few days. The apartment is truly beautiful—well-kept, cozy, and very comfortable. Raffaella was exceptional: always available, helpful, and attentive to our every need.

She brought us fresh, high-quality breakfast products and even left a small, fragrant gift with a lovely handwritten note. It was a delightful surprise that showed just how much care she puts into looking after her guests. We felt truly pampered and had a wonderful time.

The location is very convenient, too; we took the opportunity to go shopping at the local outlet stores, and the apartment served as a perfect base for getting around. We would happily return and highly recommend it!

Alessandra – Italy

Excellent hospitality! Easy access, incredibly helpful hosts, and tasty treats left for our breakfast. We were very satisfied and highly recommend it!

Pamela – France

We had a wonderful stay. The accommodation was absolutely perfect: spotless, very comfortable, and tastefully furnished. You feel right at home immediately.

The breakfast was plentiful, varied, and delicious—a real highlight that made our stay even more enjoyable.

The location is ideal: just minutes from the Serravalle Designer Outlet, yet situated in a charming, quiet, and picturesque village.

A heartfelt thank you to the hosts for their warm welcome, kindness, and attention to the smallest details. We recommend this place without hesitation and would gladly return. An experience that undoubtedly deserves a 10/10.

Nabil – France

Attentive hosts, impeccably clean accommodation, quiet and private: a perfect stay.

We had an excellent stay at Nidin’s place. The hosts are very attentive, helpful, and thoughtful, while remaining discreet. The accommodation is impeccably clean, perfectly maintained, and very comfortable. We particularly appreciated the peace and privacy of the setting, which made us feel right at home.

Everything was exactly as described and designed with the traveler’s well-being in mind. We highly recommend this property and would not hesitate to return on a future trip to Italy.

Bohuslav – Germany

A wonderful Airbnb—one of the best we’ve ever booked. If the location works for you (we visited the wineries in Gavi), don’t hesitate to book it.

The apartment is spacious, spotless, and perfectly equipped; there was even a complimentary breakfast waiting for us in the fridge. Communication was flawless, and check-in was a breeze thanks to the access codes.

It would be nice to have a couple of larger tea mugs in the kitchen, but otherwise, we had everything we needed! I would happily stay here again anytime.

Sara Carchedi – Italy

My girlfriend and I unfortunately only stayed one night at Gian Luca’s place—a wonderful little house fully equipped with everything you could need.

Upon arrival, we found an impeccable breakfast basket waiting for us on the table, complete with focaccia and ham in the fridge! We’ve never experienced such treatment before; Gian Luca and Raffaella really know how to pamper their guests!

We really appreciated the cold drinks in the fridge, but especially the thoughtful touch of providing soy milk alongside regular milk—my girlfriend is truly grateful for that.

We will definitely be back, hopefully to stay a few more nights!
Communication via message was excellent, too—responses were immediate.
I have nothing else to say other than to offer more compliments!
