Your Home Away From Home in Piedmont, Italy
Leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind and enjoy an escape in this charming Piedmont holiday home in the High Langhe (Alta Langa). Step back in time and immerse yourself in Italian life in a traditional rustic farmhouse tucked in hazelnut country which was built by hand, stone by stone, by local farmers who still work the land. The home is furnished comfortably with original rustic features.
The home is in a countryside setting but not remote. Being in the countryside, you may catch a glimpse of different birds, rabbits, deer or other wildlife.
Sit on the panoramic terrace as the sun sets in the distance with Monviso (the highest mountain in Piedmont) and hilltop villages peeking out across the valley. Read a book, relax and have an aperitivo sipping on wine from local vineyards. Enjoy cooking with fresh rosemary and sage from the garden.
And you will be spoilt for choice with eateries serving fresh local ingredients ranging from casual to Michelin star restaurants. Be sure to indulge in gastronomic experiences…after all, Piedmont is the home of the Slow Food Movement and the International Alba White Truffle Fair (from October to early December).
Discover the joy of slow travel as you linger for longer and truly absorb your surroundings, mingle with the locals and create special memories in Piedmont.

What Our Guests Say
We really liked your house a lot. It is comfortable, has enough space and is well treated and cosy. We stayed for two weeks with four adults. That’s convenient because the house has two bed and bathrooms. The spacious terrace with the sunbeds and barbeque is wonderfull and the view is stunning especially when the sun goes down. We followed Denise’s recommendations for trips to Alba, Asti, Barolo and Aqui Terme. Also the swimming pool in Torre Bormida was relaxing and nice; we went there with our bikes! 😄 Thanks a lot…! Kind regards, Dianne & Rob, Catherine & Hans – Netherlands
Everything was perfect. Thank you! Marianna – Italy

We are ready to come back. – Louis & Sylvie, France
