Charming private countryhouse in the vineyards

Beautiful country house surrounded by charming vineyards and fruit trees in the Unesco region of Monferrato. A perfect place to enjoy family reunions, friends gathering, getaways to explore slow food and Langhe wines. Full privacy, no other hosts. We recently renovated the house while preserving its history of more than one hundred years. Three generations of winemakers lived here, built these walls and used the barrels still visible in the tuff cave rock cellar. The 3 floors house has 5 double rooms, 4 bathrooms, washing machine, a fully equipped kitchen (dishwasher, oven, microwave), a huge living room with a fireplace that we love to lighten up to warm up the cold winter nights. Netflix account included. One of the two dining rooms used to be the place where the winemakers were making the sweet and delicious Moscato Passito DOC of Strevi. During the summer you can enjoy some relax under the shade of the trees on the hammocks, use the barbecue, and if you're lucky eat some figs and peaches directly from our trees. You can use our bikes to go aroud. The main road is wonderful to jog or bike down, with amazing views at the top. The small pool is available from the beginning of June till the end of September. The renovation is still unfinished (laundry area), so we're offering accomodation at a special price. The whole house, with exclusive access (no other guests). We have 10 bikes (for kids and adults) available for you and your friends. For more than 10 persons, contact us and we will send you a special offer! We will welcome you and give you all the tips to enjoy the most of the many activities available in the area (including Lama walking!) The surroundings are the true reason to be here. The Monferrato area has been recently included in the UNESCO heritage, offering beautiful walks through the vineyards, the Roman spas in Acqui Terme, visits to the old charming castles with dungeons and towers, and of course wine and food tasting. There is one Michelin star restaurant in Acqui, plus a number of other excellent ones. Famous winemakers are all over the place, one excellent wine shop in Acqui with all of them. The area is also well known for its world famous white truffles, with two top restaurants a few minutes' drive from our place. Our valley is the home of the sweet wine Passito di Moscato di Strevi, a Slow Food Presidium. See the Slow Food foundation web for more details. For the fashion victims, one of the top designer malls in Italy is 45 minutes away with the very best of fashion (Armani, Aspesi, Bulgari, Prada...). But we are quite sure that once you see the vineyards, you will never think of going there ;-) It is an old countryhouse, so please don't expect the standards of a modern one, or of an hotel room. For instance most of the windows don't perfectly seal the room, apart from the ones we got changed. You have to pull hard to open a couple of them, especially if there is rain (the window wood frame expands). The house is perfectly fine for wintertime. We recently installed a new heating system and we'll pre-heat the house before your arrival.
