The accommodation was perfect for our needs. Peaceful, relaxing and with plenty to do around you from small villages to towns like Asti that provide that city feel and buzz if you want it. The facilities were outstanding with every thing you could possibly want for self catering or even home comforts. The bedroom with it's air conditioning ensured a good nights sleep assisted by the extremely comfortable bed and pillows. The lounge and kitchen area very comfortable and homely and extremely good quality satellite TV, DVD provision if needed. The grounds, stunning views, pool and surrounding countryside created a very relaxing environment. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners who were very welcoming and pleasurable to spend time with. There is plenty to do in the region and even with the extremely hot weather we were able to explore and visit some of the beautiful villages, towns and winery's then return and relax in and by the pool with a cool glass of wine or beer! The owners welcome pack, guide and recommendations on where to eat and visit sent to you before you arrive, is extremely comprehensive and means you can just arrive, relax and explore. We drove down from the UK and it can be done with one overnight stop and the journey was easy as AutoRoute almost all the way with stunning views through the Alps. of course you can fly to nearby airports and hire a car if you choose otherwise.
