Chapel of San Rocco Located at the end of the Roata on the old road to Bagnasco, rectangular in shape, with the altar wall in the shape of a semicircle. Capacity for 100 people and with paintings of modest value dated 1591 depicting the Virgin with the child, the saints Roch, Sebastian, John the Baptist and another unidentified saint. The Brothers went there in procession for three consecutive Sundays after Easter. Mass is celebrated there on the day of San Rocco (August 16) and once people reached it with the Corpus Domini procession. The custom of blessing the herds on the occasion of the feast of the Patron was introduced by the Provost Martini. Also in this case, alms and a quest for chestnuts constitute the funds for its maintenance.

Chapel of Santa Lucia Also at the Villa, on a hillock towards Ceva, is the rectangular Chapel of Santa Lucia, which can seat 60 people. The Holy Mass was celebrated on the day of San Grato, 9 September and on the Sunday after Easter, when the Brothers of the company of the Disciplinanti went there in procession. Rarely was it officiated there on St. Lucia's day as, being in December, it was not always possible to reach this chapel in the open countryside due to the presence of snow. In the shelter of the entrance there is a portico. It contains a fresco painted around 1840 depicting the Virgin, Santa Lucia and San Grato.
