A short walk from the center of Bardineto, an inland village in the Bormida Valley known for its excellent potatoes and porcini mushrooms, stands a cluster of four or five mushroom-shaped wooden houses, reminiscent of those in the famous cartoon by French cartoonist Peyo. In reality, they are the remains of a unique project dating back to the 1960s by Mario de Bernardi, a passionate enthusiast of construction and mushrooms, a local specialty. The small houses, built among centuries-old chestnut, beech, and birch trees, were not designed to be dedicated to the mythical blue inhabitants, but rather to mushrooms, whose appearance they resemble. The village houses were originally private homes and were rented out for a time as vacation rentals, so they are equipped with furniture and accessories such as a barbecue, oven, and firewood storage room.

A beautiful spot. Be sure to climb a few more meters, and the view over the coast will open up. The small peak above the picnic area is also definitely worth climbing on clear days. It's a quarter of an hour to the top (just follow one of the trails), and you'll have a view all the way to the Alps.

Great view over the sea and land

A wonderful path in the woods leads to the wonderful Monte Galero.

Crossroads of paths, you are spoiled for choice, you can still go up towards Monte Carmo or the Barbottina Forest, or go down on trails like Hiroshima or Oltrefinale

Incomparable view of the Tanaro Valley on one side, and the Ligurian Sea on the other
