Montaldo di Mondovì, hamlets and woods in the hills above Mondovì

On the heights south of Mondovì, where the hills give way to the mountains, Montaldo di Mondovì is a municipality with a main village and several hamlets scattered among woods and meadows, linked by mountain roads. The town hall stands at around 800 metres. Mondovì, with its hospital, schools and station, is the reference town for services.

For buyers, the choice of hamlet matters a great deal. Sun exposure, distance from the main road, snow clearance and internet coverage vary from one cluster to the next. Houses are mostly stone-built, sometimes in need of renovation, and climate zone F, the coldest, makes insulation and heating significant costs. Some homes are second homes.

In 2023 there were 535 residents, down 6.3% on 2011. The average age is 51.0 against 46.3 in the province of Cuneo, and over-65s make up 32.0%. Households have 1.90 people on average and foreign residents account for 7.7%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Montaldo is in seismic zone 3, like 141 of the 247 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration in the village of about 0.080 g. For a stone hamlet house, ask whether the walls and roof have been strengthened and whether there are permits for the work.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps cover the municipality, and the report links the address to its parcel. In an area of slopes and isolated hamlets, gradient and landslide hazard change from plot to plot, and the report reads them on the official maps.
