About this property

Casa Aiva, in the vineyards on the hills, Pinerolo

Comfortable flat in the hills among the vineyards, with lovely views.
Tranquillity and nature, comfort and modernity. Cultural and gastronomic visits, outdoor activities, sports, mountain walks, all seasons. 40 km from Turin.
June to August, adults only. Swimming pool shared with a possible guest couple in the cottage Ciabutin on the same property. Families with children only if both accommodations are rented: Casa Aiva and the Ciabutin.

Casa Aiva is part of the big house we have been living in since 2010, when this place fascinated us with its hilltop location, enchanting view and the profound sense of well-being it conveys.
Aiva means Water, like the precious spring on the property, but it also stands for Air - clean (we are 500 metres above sea level); Enchantment - of a panorama stretching from Turin to the Cuneo area; Holiday - relaxing, in contact with nature and in a sustainable environment; Agriculture - with wine, jams and honey.

The furnishings are well cared for and biocompatible with ecological materials that respect the environment and health. It enjoys absolute privacy and an independent entrance.
It consists of a bedroom, large bathroom, equipped kitchen, living room and veranda dining room. It can accommodate up to 5 persons (+ 1 infant - up to 1 year old).
The bedroom consists of a large double bed with wooden slats and latex mattress and two armchair beds, which can also be placed in the living room, as required.
The living room is equipped with a double sofa bed and satellite TV.
The bathroom is furnished in chestnut wood and equipped with a shower with a glass shower stall, washbasin, bidet and toilet.
If you like to cook... here you will find good equipment: 5-burner cooker, electric oven, microwave, kettle.
The dining room has a large table, but it is also possible to eat on the patio outside, under the pergola.
Barbecue is available.
The flat does not have air conditioning, as the summer days, even the hottest ones, are always pleasantly breezy and the climate quite dry, a condition that keeps mosquitoes quite far away (the bedroom has a mosquito net anyway).

Ideal location for spending your summer evenings in the garden, enjoying the wonderful view over the plain and the surrounding nature.
Very large, fenced garden for your exclusive use, with no danger to children.

For the winter period, in addition to the independent heating system, the flat is equipped in the living room with a pellet stove, which is also connected to the bedroom.

View: garden, plain, hills and mountains, from Turin to Cuneo.
Orientation/exposure: south and west
Altitude: 500m. slm

Satellite TV, wi-fi
Children's high chair.
Private outdoor parking.
Bicycle shelter (on request).
Possibility of recharging bikes and electric cars (extra charge).

We suggest you take advantage of all seasons for a walk in the surroundings and to enjoy the silence and relaxation of the area. Between September and October, you could participate in the grape harvest in our vineyard.

From June to August the house is reserved for adults only, to ensure a relaxing atmosphere, and you can use the swimming pool, shared with possible guests of the 'Ciabutin', a cottage in the vineyard that accommodates a maximum of 2 people.

The pool is partially heated by a solar coil system.
Roman staircase with jacuzzi. Daily cleaning and maintenance.
Safety enclosure with fence and gate.
Pool dimensions: Width: 6m; Length: 12m; Depth: minimum: 1; maximum: 2.5m.
Outdoor shower, located in pool area, heated by solar panel.
Sun loungers and parasol.

Here you can taste red wine from the estate's vineyard and many local products.

We have an agreement with the restaurant "Il Punto a Capo" in San Secondo di Pinerolo and with the association "Made in Pinerolo".

The house is not available for parties or New Year's Eve.

We live in the house next door and are available for any information, but we respect the privacy of our guests.
If you wish, we will be happy to help you get to know the area, to suggest places to visit and activities to do according to your preferences. If you love food and typical products, we will be happy to recommend the best restaurants to suit your tastes!
We have an elderly dog, his name is Leo, and we always take care that he does not disturb our guests (during the day he normally stays in his garden).

There are certain values that have always been fundamental for us and that concern eco-sustainability, care for the land and quality products, preferably organic.

Here at Casa Aiva we have been able to turn some of our attention to the environment and health into reality:
photovoltaic system for the production of electricity
solar thermal plant for the production of hot water;
electric charging facilities for guests' bicycles and cars;
rainwater and spring water collection tank;
coat cladding;
furnishings in natural materials;
organic cultivation of the vineyard and orchard.

We also have many relationships with producers in the area and offer our guests the opportunity to buy good, genuine, quality products directly from them.

Here you can enjoy the richness of nature and reawaken your five senses, often drowsy from the hustle and bustle of everyday life: sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste will benefit in every season from the pleasant sensations transmitted by Casa Aiva.

Great place to stay
Great place - clean and adequate kitchen utensils for 5 of us. Maybe a dishwasher would have been nice to have but not essential! We managed with our 12 yr old on a single sofa bed with us in the double bed main bedroom. And a teenager and adult in a double sofa bed and single bed in the living room. One point to note is the advert and price is for 4 people so it’s extra for a 5th person. Bathroom (spacious clean and lovely with washing machine) - only the one bathroom but we managed. Pool is lovely - temperature was always fine. Lovely mountain views - it is much cooler in the evenings. Drove to Turin markets a few times and Pinerolo market. Also did some energetic mountain walks locally. Convenient for supermarkets too so easy enough to shop. Had some tasty meals in the local restaurant (fish speciality) too. Very detailed informative folder by the owners in places to visit etc which we found very useful. Al in all, an excellent relaxing place to stay.

Calme, propre, accueil chaleureux
Nous avons passé deux nuits très agréables dans cette location avec nos 3 enfants. L'appartement correspondait parfaitement à la description. La propriété était propre et bien entretenue et nous disposions de tout l'équipement nécessaire. Barbara la propriétaire nous a accueilli très sympathiquement avec des petits présents et des conseils pour les visites et les restaurants très utiles. Nous avons visité Turin qui se trouve à 50 minutes de route et les villages environnants. Nous recommandons cette propriété pour tous ceux qui souhaitent visiter Turin et ses environs sans être en pleine ville.

Why they chose this property

Here our guests feel at home and can enjoy natures’ richness. The five senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste often obscured by daily life will be awakened. Every season offers a different pleasant sensation that you can maximize at Casa Aiva.
We are happy to share with the guests the positive sensations which this place has given us and continues offering from the first time we arrived here.

What makes this property unique

Come to experience every season at Casa Aiva!
In autumn the colors of the hills and the mountains will surround you, you could wander in search of mushrooms in the nearby woods, gathering chestnuts, apples and persimmons, relax by listening to the tinkling of sheep which graze on our meadows.
Even winter has its own charm. At Casa Aiva you could listen to the silence of nature that slowly falls asleep, you’ll watch the sun rise to the east and then enjoy its warm rays while below - in the plains - everything is shrouded in fog.
You also could easily reach the many ski slopes, enjoy the typical dishes in a pleasant retreat after a snowshoe hike and then relax in the heat of the stove in the living room, drinking a hot tea, a glass of our red wine or an excellent digestive of this region.
In springtime, since March, you could watch the awakening of nature, you’ll see flourish the five different varieties of our camellias, the magnolia put the first flowers of pink and fuchsia, soon followed by the green leaves. you’ll warm up to the rays of the sun warmer, stretch your legs and take relaxing walks among the markets and fairs in the spring and its thousands of flowers and colors.
The summer is pleasant because you will live intensely sunny days and agreeable weather of these parts, feel the sun getting stronger, but never suffer the extreme heat because here in the hills it is always slightly breezy. You could choose between a mountain bike ride, a hike in mountain lakes and breathtaking mountain peaks, a village festival in the name of culinary delights, dances and traditional games... have you never heard of square bowls?
And then, a dip in the pool, to relax and enjoy the sun setting behind the hill. Eating on the patio, watching the plains gradually light of so many lights and who knows... watch the fireworks organized by the various villages below. And lie in the field watching the fireflies flying around and shooting stars in the sky.
