Home description
Sympathetically restored and modernised farmhouse on edge of village. It is bathed in sunlight. It is quiet and peaceful. Large size rooms with an extensive covered portico surrounds the house on three sides. There is one restaurant a short walk away and many excellent restaurants in the villages and town of Acqui Terme nearby.
The house should appeal to wine and food lovers and those wanting to be off the beaten track yet go somewhere that is easily accessible to all amenities. The village is in the heart of the wine growing district of Piedmont. Vineyards abound and most local producers are willing to let you taste and buy directly from them.
