Casa Rosa: comfort, peace and spectacular views

A large living room perfectly furnished. Two comfortable bedrooms. A large panoramic terrace, covered and shady, where you can dine in late spring or summer evenings. A lovely house, in a private village dating back to 1200, with a large country garden, old trees , orchard, organic vegetable garden and a panoramic swimming pool open to guests. All around , an estate of 114 acres of meadows and woods . To get to the property you need to drive through about 600 meters dirt road (unpaved). The house is spacious , well furnished and very comfortable and the interiors are striking, starting from the wide, bright living room overlooking the terrace. Two spacious bedrooms and a comfortable bathroom complete the accommodation. You have access to the whole house and to the terrace, to the garden and (from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.) to my private swimming pool. In season, ask the keeper for some fresh bio vegetables from the vegetable garden, or for some grapes from the old vineyard, or pick a juicy fruit directly from the tree. We keep the pool open normally on sunny days of April and October, and every day from May to September. The water is warm enough for swimming from mid-June to about the end of September. Orso and Violeta are resident keepers, and you can refer to them daily. Orso speaks Italian, some French, some German, and even if you speak English he will be able to interact with you. I am often but not always at La Costa. If I am there, I will be happy to meet you. In the house, you will find a Guest book containing all the information you need about restaurants, wineries, markets, castles and places to visit. This private village is very old and tiny (only five buildings, including the resident keepers' home and my home, the first one to be built, as a watch tower, in the 13th Century). Wonderful view on the surrounding valleys and the Pianura Padana. On clear days you can see the Alps. Less than one and a half hour by car from Milan and just forty minutes from Piacenza. Silence and nature combined with pleasant restaurants and old castles in the surroundings. Nearby you can go for great walks, bike and horse ride, or you can play golf: two golf courses within 15 and 20 minutes drive. In the property you can find 2 mountain bikes, free use for the guests. - For home cleaning during longer stays, please make direct arrangements with Orso and Violeta. - Two mountain bikes are available for free. A BBQ is available for free. - On the dirt road, please go slowly and use a low gear ( first or second gear) otherwise le wheels will slip. If you use a low gear and climb slowly you will have no problem, unless you are driving a very low car like a Ferrari.
