Description

Elegant Country Villa with Potential for Hospitality in UNESCO Monferrato


A Refined Blend of Tradition & Modern Comfort, Just Minutes from Canelli


Wake up to panoramic vineyard views, sip wine on your terrace as the sun sets behind the hills, and enjoy the peace and privacy of your own corner of Unesco Heritage countryside—just 4 km from the charming town of Canelli.

This recently renovated villa is more than just a home: it’s an invitation to experience the best of Piedmont. With 679 sq m of space, a beautifully landscaped 870 sq m garden, and room to add an infinity pool overlooking the rolling vineyards, this is the perfect retreat for anyone who dreams of Italian countryside living—with the added potential for hospitality or rental income.

Where Charm Meets Comfort

Step through the gates into a private, fenced estate that instantly feels like home. With parking for six cars and two separate entrances, the property is cleverly designed to offer both family intimacy and guest privacy.

Inside, the villa blends traditional Piedmontese charm—think Luserna stone, terracotta floors, and exposed wood beams—with the comforts of modern living like underfloor and radiant heating. A true labor of love, the home has been restored with attention to every detail.

The Living Experience

Ground Floor: Charm, Character & Unexpected Surprises

The entrance welcomes you from either the courtyard or the street, leading you into a beautifully restored home where tradition meets modern comfort. Just beneath your feet, a magical wine cellar awaits—accessible via stairs from the entryway. Its brushed brick vaulted ceilings, original well, and timeless ambiance make it the perfect space for storing your finest bottles or hosting unforgettable wine tastings.

As you continue through the corridor, you’ll find a serene bedroom on your left with its own private bathroom and views of the courtyard—ideal for guests or family members seeking privacy.

Further along, the villa opens into a striking living room with terracotta floors and a cozy fireplace, perfect for curling up with a book or sharing stories with friends. One of the most unique details here is the original staircase to the wine cellar, which has been covered with glass, allowing you to glimpse the cellar below, like a hidden treasure beneath your feet.

There’s a separate dining room with beautiful oak wood floors—warm, refined, and ideal for entertaining. A guest bathroom is conveniently located nearby, and just beyond that, a versatile sitting room that can also serve as a home office or reading nook.

Finally, the ground floor opens up into a beautifully appointed eat-in kitchen—perfect for long, laughter-filled dinners with friends and family. To the side, a discreet laundry room keeps everything practical, organized, and out of sight.

First Floor: Space, Light & Views

Climb the elegant Luserna stone staircase and be greeted by natural light flooding in through large windows. On the left, a spacious studio opens onto a panoramic terrace—a peaceful place for morning coffee, remote work, or simply soaking in the vineyard views.

To the right, a generous bedroom with a walk-in closet, a stylish bathroom, and an additional room ideal as a nursery, yoga space, or guest bedroom. Every space invites relaxation and connection to the natural beauty outside.

Second Floor: Character & Potential

The second floor feels like a private hideaway, suspended above the living space below. Here, you’ll find a long storage room—ripe for transformation into additional bedrooms, a fitness area, or even a cozy artist’s retreat. The layout allows flexibility to suit your lifestyle and vision.

A Unique Opportunity for Living or Hosting

The villa includes a second, partially renovated wing of 279 sq m, with two bedrooms, a bathroom, a living room, and a kitchen. With a separate entrance, it’s the ideal setup for a holiday rental, guest house, or multi-generational living. Let your guests enjoy the beauty of Monferrato while you preserve your privacy.

Location: Between Vines & Villages

Just 5 minutes from the historic town of Canelli, you’re surrounded by world-class wine estates, cozy trattorias, and local artisan shops. Explore the famous Underground Cathedrals, enjoy a glass of Asti Spumante, or take a short drive to Alba for truffle season or to Acqui Terme for a spa day.

You’re just over an hour from both Turin and Genoa, and within easy reach of Milan—yet wrapped in the peace of the rolling hills and vineyards that make this region a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Why You’ll Love It

Whether you’re dreaming of a serene family home, a countryside escape with room to host, or a boutique hospitality project, this villa offers unmatched charm, privacy, and potential. Add a pool, harvest your own grapes, or simply enjoy the quiet beauty of Piedmont.

This is more than a property. It’s a lifestyle—and it’s waiting for you.
