Romantic farmhouse in Monferrato wine district

A beautifully restored farmhouse ('cascina') in the middle of Monferrato wine district, the house is conveniently located in the middle of North West Italy: Milan (the most lively and modern Italian city, with extraordinary monuments and unsurpassed shopping opportunities), Genoa (with its Riviera, Portofino, Cinque Terre, the popular Aquarium), Turin and the nearby Alps are easily reached by highways or railway in one two hours. Our 'cascina' is a typical 18th century Piedmont farmhouse, surrounded by a wineyard (Dolcetto, Cortese, Barbera). The house has been recently restored and is fully furnished with all modern comforts. Its location makes it an ideal starting point for trekking, cycling, horse riding, visiting historical castles, manors wine cellars ('cantine') and renowned restaurants. The Gavi area can be reached in 20 minutes by car, as well as the Serravalle Outlet where you can find at very convenient prices the best in Italian fashion (Prada, Dolce e Gabbana, Armani, etc.) Starting from may 2012 a beautifully built swimming pool, hydromassage area included, is available to our guests. This pool is shared with the rest of the family.
