Castino

We did spend a wonderful week in Castino and just had the best time. We went with our whole family and the setting couldn‘t have been more perfect for us all. The house, courgeous garden and pool was perfect and fulfilled our needs in any aspect. We did some great excursions to Alba, had drinks in Neive, visited Aqui (some by bike!!) etc. A great area, with so many options and a perfect location in every way - will be back! Isabelle Gut

Special place

A wonderful hideaway with incredible views across the valley, while also having one or two conveniences helpfully on the doorstep. Village has a general store, newspaper shop, a couple of cafes, a lunchtime trattoria and a busy pizzeria, as well as a small delicatessen with some superb regional specialities. If you want more choice in shopping and dining, Alba is only half an hour away and has a delightful centre. Local housekeeper was extremely helpful with any small issues. Beautiful, unspoilt part of the country. It happened to be extremely hot while we were there, but the old stone kept the downstairs especially cool. Rambling layout would make especially good base for combined family holidays. A la prossima!

Anwesen an traumhafter Lage

Die Villa Suzanne ist ein einmaliges Anwesen mit zahlreichen Zimmern und Räumen, welche sehr stil- und liebevoll eingerichtet sind. Wenn man Ruhe und Erholung sucht, ist man hier genau richtig. Die Lage mit der tollen Aussicht über die typischen Hügeln des Piemonts und der riesige und sehr gut gepflegte Garten sind einfach nur fantastisch. Am geschmackvoll gestalteten sauberen Pool, umgeben von herrlich duftendem Lavendel und Rosmarin, kann man so richtig die Seele baumeln lassen und die herrliche Landschaft und Aussicht geniessen. Die Vermieterin Suzanne ist sehr freundlich, nett und bei Fragen jederzeit sehr hilfsbereit und telefonisch erreichbar. Die Haushälterin Ursula vor Ort ist ebenfalls sehr nett, zuvorkommend und auch jederzeit sehr hilfsbereit. Fazit: dieses wundervolle Anwesen mit allem Drum und Dran ist absolut weiterzuempfehlen. Suzanne, danke für Alles, es war wirklich wunderbar! Urs & Familie

Grosszügige Oase der Ruhe mit fantastischem Ausblick

Das Landgut ist geschmackvoll und hochwertig eingerichtet. Die Schlafzimmer sind grosszügig mit bequemen Betten und jedes mit viel Liebe zum versehen. Die Bäder sind in Ordnung. Die Küche hat viel Charme, ist vollwertig ausgestattet und bietet bei kühleren Abenden eine wunderbare Essgelegenheit. Besonders geschätzt haben wir den wunderschön angelegten Garten mit Palme und Zypressenhain sowie die verschiedenen Sitzplätzen -je nach Tageszeit. Daneben der traumshafte Pool, der sich harmonisch in die Ausseneinlage einfügt. Der Blick schweift auf die gegenüberliegenden Hügelzüge mit pitoresken Dörfern umgeben von Weinbergen und Haselnussplantagen. Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen und uns sofort wohlgefühlt.

Aanrader voor een grote familie of een vriendengroep

Rustig gelegen maar toch vlak bij het dorpje in een prachtige en boeiende streek. Veel mogelijkheden voor daguitstappen. Zeer mooie eigendom. Heel grote, verzorgde tuin met mooi zwembad, zonneterras met ligzetels, een open en een overdekt terras met tafels. Gerieflijke, enorm grote woning met 4 zeer ruime tweepersoonskamers, 3 badkamers, vergaderzaal, 2 keukens, 2 zitkamers, koele berging en wasplaats. Alle mogelijk comfort. Wasmachine, afwasmachine, koelkasten. Geen airco, maar de buitentemperatuur zakt er 's nachts voldoende om af te koelen. Vlotte communicatie met de eigenares en de dame en heer die het landgoed onderhouden. Een absolute aanrader!

About the host

Hosted by Susanne G.

We are a Swiss couple who immigrated in 1986 to Castino with our 2 little sons.
With time we opened a factory for preserves. More information you find here:
http://asp-it.secure-zone.net/v2/index.jsp?id=125/182/979&lng=en
Now the boys are grown up and we moved back to Switzerland.So we decided to give guests the possibility to stay in this wonderful property when we are away.

Why they chose this property

This house is our family home, which we have redone completely in 2007.We have many art details and a cured garden with 3 hectars of natural park. The internal, closed courtyard with the pool on the lower terrass offers a magic privacy, view and tranquility. The house is oriented to this gorgious courtyard with the open view of the Piedmontese hills to the south. You have direct access from the big living-kitchen to the courtyard and portico. In the kitchen and living room you have open fireplaces. The vicinity to the village (3 min walking distance coordinates 44.620325, 8.186085 on goggle maps and so also on this website ((location))is the location wrong) gives you the possibillity to hop to the bar for an espresso or to purchase your daily needs, fresh bread, local cheeses, etc. The property is however located in the countryside surrounded by nature and totally peaceful and quiet.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy your stay alone on a property of 3 hectars of natural park.
The truffle stronghold Alba is 20 km from Castino. The small, well-preserved town has a large market and great boutiques every Saturday. The villages of Barolo Monforte, La Morra and Barbaresco are 30 minutes away.
We would be happy to organise a truffle hunt with a dog for you. Marco the truffle hunter of La Morra will spend 2 hours with you and search for truffles which you can buy or eat in a restaurant.
