The villa, is self contained and adjoins the owners home who will be in residence during your stay. On the ground floor there is a fully fitted kitchen with dishwasher and a lounge with open fire and dining area. Upstairs there are 3 double bedrooms(2 with balconies), playroom, bathroom and separate shower room (each has a WC). Guests have their own terrace, deck and balconies to enjoy the fabulous views across the valley. You also have your own outdoor eating area. Barbeque and table tennis table available. Either a self catering or catered holiday. If you'd like a night off, we can cook dinner for you (25 euros for 4 courses incl. cheese & wine). You choose from the menu the previous evening. The vineyard which surrounds the house, produces about 1000 bottles of Barbera red wine a year on site and there are opportunities to help with production if you'd like to.

Notes: Children are welcome but because the house has balconies and the garden, a pond, a well, steps and decking built out from the hillside, very young children do need a high degree of supervision to assure their safety. The bathroom and shower room are on the first floor, so it is essential that any guest can manage stairs. We ask that smokers only do so outside, either on the balcony or the terrace. The playroom on the first floor, has two children's beds in it, but you do have to go through this room to reach one of the double bedrooms and both the bathroom and shower room. We have books, games and puzzles for both kids and adults and a full sized table tennis table.

Reviews for this holiday house rental in Asti, Italy

Asti holiday house rental rating 55/5
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
gap  Chester-le-Street
Review Submitted: March 11, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2007
The description of this villa does not do it justice. We have thoroughly enjoyed several peaceful holidays there. The villa has beautiful views overlooking the valley with the Alps in the distance. It is situated in an ideal location for touring around Italy's best wine producting regions. The owners are charming hosts and provide beautifully cooked evening meals with their own wine on request.

If you want to recharge your batteries I thoroughly recommend this villa and region.

A Piece of Piedmont Paradise
gemiem  by the beach, ca, usa
Review Submitted: October 3, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
Wow! What a special place and a fabulous time we all had.
Our host Diane and Brian were the perfect host. From the
fabulous dinner Diane prepared (her baked peaches are the best) to the perfect wine Brian picked. With help from directions to recommendations, their there to help.
The ‘villa’ is clean, very spacious, decorated lovely with a warm homey effect. It is equipped with ‘everything’ you could possibly need and more. The home is located up a windy road (a car is a must) but the view is unparallel.
The town of Canelli offers great bi-weekly open market shopping to prepare wonderful meals in your well-stocked kitchen. Along with some great restaurants and wine cave tours.
It was a prefect location to venture out to discovery the Piedmont, Asti, and Alba area. We left this location to go to Tuscany, I much preferred this area (less commercialized-
Tourist). We are already talking about our return. I would highly recommend this retreat.Thanks

Italian Paradise
Gez & Lise  SUTTON COLDFIELD
Review Submitted: September 4, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We enjoyed the most perfect holiday on our first visit to this property and are sure that we shall be returning for years to come.
The house is typically Italian and is located on a steep hillside in a tranquil setting. The views are spectacular and on a clear day The Alps can be clearly seen in the distance.
The accomodation is very spacious, beautifully clean and everything is provided to make you feel at home.
A car is essential as even the walk into Cannelli would be challenging!
The town is sufficiently large to boast several excellent restaurants and two market days per week.
Dianne is always available to answer questions and to make recommendations for places to eat, but if you never left the property she could, on request, provide the most wonderful food to compete with the best of the local restaurants.
We are keen to recommend this property and have already booked for next year.

A little gem.

Review Submitted: March 2, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2007
I have revisited this exquisite villa over a period of 4 years and never fail to enjoy its peace and tranquility. The surrounding countryside equals that of Tuscany but without the hoards of tourists. The villa is equipped with every modern convenience within the beautiful old villa.
Dianne is the perfect Hostess in every way. She creates ingenious Italian meals if the guests so wish. She provides an inspiring menu catering for everyone's needs. The vineyards produces delicious wine for wnich both Brian and Dianne must be proud.

A car is essential as there as so many interesting towns and villages in the surrounding area to visit. Dianne is always there to offer advice and guide you to whatever village, town or city you wish to visit.

This is a perfect retreat 'away from the madding crowds' and I would highly recommend this property. It is indeed, a little gem.
