The farmhouse, called "Podere Palaretto", as we read on the marble epigraph placed on one of the facades, is located about two kilometers from the historic center of Neive.

Most of the rooms have a wood-burning fireplace, brick vaults and views of the surrounding vineyards and hazelnuts, a large bathroom and an outdoor relaxation area where you can sip a good glass of Nebbiolo.
