La Fornace - Suite

Independent apartment in a 19th century charming farm, surrounded by 2.000 trees, and much nature, and baby hares. We are located in Alessandria, at only 2 kilometers (5 minutes) from the town central square, and 1h away from Milan, Turin, and Genoa. From the motorway, it takes between 6 to 9 minutes to reach us. The 2 large bedrooms apartment, along its 85 square meters, comfortably hosts 4 guests. It is equipped with a comfortable living room, 2 bedrooms, and 1 bathroom. The king-size bedroom, set on the corner of the farm, enjoys the view and the light from two sides. One window is exposed to the forest, while the other one to the 19th century furnace where bricks were hand made. The twin bedroom, also set on the corner of the farm, and again with double view and light, hosts two very large and comfortable single beds. One window is exposed to the furnace, while the other one to the courtyard of the farm. The cosy living room is equipped with the needed for tea and instant coffee, WiFi, and a good music system. The bathroom comes with a bath (no shower) and bidet. The apartment is set in a 19th century farm in the immediate proximity of the town, and it's surrounded by a 25 thousand square meters forest composed of 12 different kinds of threes, among which the white Maple, the local Walnut, the Neapolitan Alder, and the red Oak. As our guests, you will be able to visit the 19th century furnace, used until the years after the Second World War to produce bricks and tails. You can wonder in the woods, and enjoy the diversity of the 12 different species of trees that surround the farm. Or you can stroll down the paths that run along the fields, enjoying the farming, the nearby river and absorbing the greens. In case you are interested in vegetable gardens, you are most welcome to visit ours, and appreciate the season's treaties. Once you are comfortably set, we are happy to leave you in peace, have your privacy, and enjoy the place ! However, in case you need assistance, we are not far. Also, we won't keep secrets in case you wish to have recommendations about places where to indulge into the exquisite local cuisine, and wine tasting. In its proximity (3 minutes by car) you have access to supermarkets, discounts, Mediaworld, a shopping center and health care centers. For recommendations related to local cuisine, wineries, and specialties, just ask. Being farmers, we have a good network of friends related to wine and food, and we would know how to address you well ! The farm is located at the outskirts of Alessandria. While some background noise from the town is inevitable due to its vicinity, you will be surrounded by trees and nature. Very close to our premises you have the chance to visit the heliport of the National Health Service in action, and, in case you do like helicopters, you might be lucky to see one taking off or landing every now and then. Bus line no. 3 stops at less than 100 meters from the farm, and it takes you to the city centre (less than 10 minutes) and to the railway station. Depending on how fast you walk, you can reach the city centre on foot (20 to 30 minutes). In the surroundings, you can enjoy the Monferrato hills, covered by vines and rich in colour, uncontaminated nature, and dense woods of chestnut, oak and beech trees.
