| A delightful property -- beautifully appointed, very comfortable, in a simply gorgeous setting that serves as the perfect base for exploring Piemonte. John and Angela are incredible hosts -- helpful, accommodating, and always willing to provide recommendations and directions. This is absolutely my favorite VRBO property! The perfect Italian holiday. |

A perfectly appointed apartment in a gorgeous
setting...no detail has been overlooked and every choice
is appropriate to the setting, down to the linens and
kitchen gear. The villa has been meticulously restored
amid terraces and gardens designed to preserve the
views across the surrounding vineyards.
We enjoy cooking en suite as much as exploring the
many nearby trattoria and restaurants; the owners are
happy to recommend their favorites and help with
reservations and directions. Costigliole is a charming
village within walking distance and provides the basics;
the villa is close to larger Alba and Asti for more intense
shopping. Once a month nearby NIzza Monferato offers
a huge open air antique market that should not be
missed.
The location is an ideal launch point for exploring all of
Piemonte and Liguria. The finest of Piemonte's
winemakers are within a short drive. It's most tempting
though, just to enjoy the sun, breezes and views from
the terrace.
We've made several visits and are making plans for
another. |

| Wonderful apartment in a beautiful location! The apartment is modern , very comfortable and beautifully appointed. Great kitchen and a garden that is perfect for dining, reading or just enjoying views of the hills and the vineyards.This was one of the best places we've stayed! The town is small and there are many day trips which are easily accessible. Great spot! |

Wonderful apartment in one of Piedmont’s premier
locations. The accommodations rival any we have
seen in our 12 trips to Italy with comfortable
modern furniture, appliances and utensils for any
culinary ambitions, and one’s own private hideaway
overlooking the famous vineyards of Piedmont.
Three kilometers away is the historic village of
Costigliole d’Asti (a pleasant and easy walk) where
the ancient buildings house all the modern
necessities needed for an extended stay. Not to be
missed are seeing the fog rise from the vineyards at
sunrise (look out the window), the Saturday
morning market in Alba, wine tasting in Monforte
d’Alba, Grinzane Cavour, la Morra, and Barolo
(naturally), and attempting to find the best
restaurant in the tiny villages of the Langhe
(impossible, but fun trying). Ask John for
recommendations. So much to do so close by!
Doing nothing at all has much to recommend as
well. |
