The surrounding landscape is characteristic of the Monferrato region, with sweet rolling hills, vineyards, small medieval villages and noble villas dotting the countryside.

An ideal setting for those who want to enjoy rural tranquillity without sacrificing major transport links.
This early 19th-century estate is an authentic example of historic Piedmontese architecture. It has undergone constant restoration to preserve its valuable period features, including some original frescoes, antique Piedmontese terracotta floors and big windows that flood the interior with natural light, giving the rooms a sense of transparency and lightness. Added to these are other delightful details such as the brick vaults of the cellars, the wooden ceilings on the upper floor and the discreet presence of period features such as a Napoleonic billiard table and perfectly preserved antique fireplaces.
The building is on four levels. On the ground floor are the entrance hall, a double living room with panoramic views, a dining room, an eat-in kitchen and bathrooms with laundry facilities. On the same level is the rare and invaluable frescoed private chapel, an architectural gem with a strong visual and symbolic impact. The first floor has a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, a second suite with a bathroom and a dressing room, a study, a games room with an antique billiard table and a fireplace, a gym and access to the panoramic loggia, where a relaxing spa area has been set up. On the second floor, a highly evocative space perfect as an independent guest area, there are two bedrooms, a kitchen and rustic-style relaxation areas with stone walls and wooden ceilings. Finally, the basement houses a very large cellar with brick vaults as well as two small rooms dedicated to wine storage and tasting. The villa is sold furnished with fine antique furniture and contemporary designer pieces.
Outside, the private park has been tastefully designed and landscaped, featuring a covered swimming pool, a solarium area with sun loungers and tables, and an area equipped with a barbecue and wood-burning oven, ideal for organising outdoor events. Next to the villa is a small plot of cultivated land, useful for those who wish to undertake small-scale agricultural production. The outdoor spaces are designed to offer maximum comfort and liveability throughout all seasons, with harmonious architectural solutions and traditional materials. In addition, the adjacent agricultural land can be used as a helipad.
