La Luna e lo Stagno - Suite di Vigna

A beautifully restored Piemontese farmhouse high on a hill, overlooking the nearby village, the Alps and surrounding vineyards. An easy walk to the village and within a few kilometers of hundreds of cantinas large and small producing Italy's best wines. A perfect place to enjoy a truly authentic Italian country experience. This is a true country house...thick ivy-covered brick walls and heavy tile roof. While we enjoy almost all modern amenities, you'll still feel like you're living in a time past. More than two cars passing in a day counts as heavy traffic for us! The setting is ideal...walking distance to the village offering all services and restaurants, but secluded on a ridge top with no immediate neighbors. There are beautiful views of the Alps, vineyards and nearby villages in every direction, and many local routes for runners, walkers and trekkers of any ability. In good weather an outdoor covered terrace adjacent to the guest room offers fantastic views, lounging and a full-function kitchenette. Its a great space for relaxing, entertaining or cooking up a quick meal. Additional outdoor terraces on the ground floor, front and back, as well as a large cantina. In summer months we have a small dunk pool for cooling off and plenty of places to relax in the warm sun. We can offer you plenty of recommendations for restaurants and wine producers. In a ten minute walk you can visit a number of good producers and some excellent cantinas, Within a short drive you can be in some some of the most famous wine producing villages in Italy....Barolo, La Morra....and truffle capital of Italy, Alba. And a little further afield are the stunning sights of the Alps, Torino or the coast. The closest train connection is Asti with great connections on main lines in all directions. The station is a 15 minute drive. There is local bus service to Asti and other neighboring towns. If you need a lift to or from the station let us know and we'll do our best to help you out On-call taxi service is available in our village and of course at the station.
