Description
The old natural stone house has been lovingly renovated by us while maintaining the exterior aspect. The secluded location at the end of a road guarantees a quiet stay in an idyllic setting, with wide views of the Alta Langha.
The house was built on a saddle in a side valley of the Belbo and is sunny all day. The surrounding area is characterised by forest with interspersed vineyards. We have also placed special emphasis on the design of the garden, which invites you to linger with numerous rose, lavender and rosemary bushes as well as other flowering plants, a large pergola and a secluded panoramic terrace.
A pond, which was created by us according to ecological criteria, offers the opportunity to swim in addition to the many opportunities for observation.
You enter the Cantina flat at ground level on the front side of the house below the covered terrace of the Bellavista flat.
You enter a very spacious living and kitchen area with a sofa corner, a large dining area and the kitchen, which is very functionally separated from the dining area by a counter.
To the southwest, you enter through a large door window element onto the terrace shaded by wisteria.
Cantina has only one bedroom, but a sofa in the sofa corner, which can be converted into a sofa bed, offers one or two additional sleeping places (140 x 200).
The bathroom faces the back of the house.
Hot water is provided by solar panels, and a gas boiler takes over when the sun is not shining.
In cooler weather you can use a wood-burning stove, the firewood is available.
The nearest shopping facilities are in Manera, a district of Benevello (2.5 km). Here you will find a very good bakery, butcher's shop and an alimentari.
In about a quarter of an hour you can reach Alba with its lively medieval old town. In autumn (October), the famous truffle fair with numerous culinary offers takes place here.
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays are market day in Alba, and on Saturdays the entire pedestrian area is bustling with stalls.
The Langha is ideal for long hikes with beautiful views; hiking guides are available in the house. Cyclists are attracted by the landscape with challenging routes.
Beautiful towns in the surrounding area are waiting to be discovered, such as Saluzzo, Cuneo, Ceva, Mondovi or Asti. From Alba there are hourly direct train connections to Turin with its baroque city centre, the largest in Europe, and important museums.
The world-famous wine-growing areas of Barolo and Barbaresco are in the immediate vicinity, and a visit to such picturesque villages as Monforte, Cherasco, La Morra or Neive is well worthwhile.
Valuable tips, also for wine lovers, are provided by Signora Manzone, who will look after you in perfect German.

Natural paradise with tasteful apartment and great swimming pond
Great nature lovers, for many years we were looking for a vacation rental in Italy, not too far from the north, away from regions where there are more foreigners than Italians in the summer (Tuscany, etc), near an old town but still located in nature and with a beautiful pool.
These were too many search criteria and we were always somewhat disappointed... until we discovered Casa Mugiot and its idyllic location.
The biggest problem now is the choice between the 2 apartments: Cantina or Bellavista.
- The Cantina has one bedroom (and also a good sofa bed where our son has his own "private corner"). The several large windows open onto a wonderful terrace under the wisteria and grapevines.
- The Bellavista has 2 bedrooms, a spacious terrace, and offers a magnificent view over the Alta Langa hills.
Both apartments have been restored with passion and love, and the old materials and furniture provide an authentic ambiance: for the Cantina, old terracotta floor tiles and a vaulted ceiling, and for the Bellavista, beautiful solid wood flooring and warm colors throughout. Both apartments have a nice kitchen, bathroom, and cozy living and sleeping areas.
The region leaves nothing to be desired: the quiet town of Alba with its many ice cream shops (gelaterias), wine cellars (cantinas), and great trattorias is only 20 minutes away! The major city of Turin, with its historic center and world-famous museums, can be reached in just about one hour.
While it is unbearably hot throughout Europe this year, in this hidden valley you can enjoy a pleasant warmth and a well-insulated house (the exterior walls are 60 cm thick).
Last but not least: the enormous flower garden has a swimming pond ?♀️.
A natural pool without chemicals, without chlorine, just water that is purified by the plants... ideal for the skin (no allergies) and a real dream for children and nature lovers.

Holiday in Piedmont
A wonderful apartment, the house has been lovingly renovated and furnished with a lot of love and taste.
The beautiful property has a marvelous vegetation, a bathing pond and numerous retreat and relaxation options.
The view from the terrace is unbeatably beautiful, to sit there, enjoy breakfast, the peace, simply marvelous.
For those who like to be active, there are many opportunities for hiking and biking in the surrounding area.
We are completely thrilled and can only praise everything here, we will definitely spend more vacations here.
