Golf, mountain biking, walking, wine, horse riding

The area is has quite a few golf courses, the oldest 36 hole golf course is located near Asti, approx. 40 min drive. If interested in Golf I can provide you with some links to all the golf courses in the area. The area is very suitable for walking, a lot of hills though! The whole area is wonderful to discover, not too many tourists and definitely no menus in English!! Piedmont is also famous for their wines therefore many cellars/stores dotted around the area. The hilly landscape, the cuisine, rendered varied by the range of culture and small farm holdings, and an enormous monumental heritage are things that entice one back again and again to this area. Each season here is extraordinary, starting from spring with its triumphant burst of colour offered by the vineyard dotted hillsides. Summer is mitigated by a breezy climate and preludes the glory of the harvest of a very tasty aromatic grape. Autumn heralds the appearance of the superb white truffle.

Generally the house is non smoking but as it is such a large house with outside terrace it is possible to smoke outside or near the fireplace without it staying in the house and without anyone having problems with this, there is a fireplace which can be used in winter. The house is new and is permanently aired. Preferably smoking outside! All windows and doors can be opened.
