Monastero di Vasco, hills of the Mondovì area
For people working in Mondovì, Monastero di Vasco is one of the hill villages where you can find a home a few minutes' drive away. The municipality lies in the Monregalese, the area around Mondovì, among woods, meadows and hazelnut groves, with its centre at about 500 metres and hamlets scattered along ridges and small valleys. The Cuneo plain and the Alps are visible from many spots, and the main road and the motorway towards Turin and Liguria pass near Mondovì.
The population has been fairly stable: 1,269 residents in 2023, according to Istat, the national statistics office, down 3.8% on 2011. The average age of 46.3 matches the 46.3 of the province of Cuneo, and over-65s are 24.9%, in line with 25.1%. Foreign residents are 3.6%. Declared incomes are in line with the provincial average.
Buyers find detached houses, small villas with gardens and farmsteads to restore in the hamlets. Winters are cold and sometimes snowy (climate zone E): insulation, the boiler and the windows make the difference to bills and the energy rating.
Monastero di Vasco is in seismic zone 3, like 140 other municipalities in the province, while 106 are in zone 4. The expected ground acceleration in the village is 0.077 g. In stone houses, ask about the roof, floors and how the walls are tied together.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps, so the report reaches the land parcel. On these hills, slope and landslide hazard change from one side to the other: the report checks them on the official maps for each address, together with flooding in the valley bottoms.
