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.

An oasis of relaxation
Beautiful accommodation, you feel immediately comfortable and at home upon arrival. A lovingly designed garden with herbs, grapes, and vegetables. We had wonderful, relaxing days.

Relaxing days in a beautiful location
We had the smaller of the two rental holiday apartments for two and were absolutely thrilled. The apartment (Cantina) is beautifully furnished, fully equipped, and absolutely clean. The two landlords had left us a bottle of wine as a welcome gift, and we were also very pleased with the basic supplies of spices, vinegar, oil, dish soap, and toilet paper. The landlords (non-rentable unit) were also on-site with their family (larger vacation apartment), so the whole house was occupied. However, that was not a problem, as each unit has its own terrace and otherwise the large garden with many small niches offers enough opportunities to enjoy peace and quiet undisturbed.
Rainer and Kerstin, the two landlords, are exceptionally charming and gave us tips for excursions, restaurants, etc. They understood how to achieve a healthy balance between being there for you and letting you enjoy your peace.
The natural pond is also very beautiful, and we enjoyed swimming a few laps there for refreshment after our hikes.
All in all, really recommended for people who love nature, enjoy hiking, and want to take trips to the nearby villages or cities like Alba, Asti, or Cuneo. For your wonderful hospitality, dear Kerstin and dear Rainer, thank you once again. We really felt very comfortable in your little Piedmont paradise!
We would love to come back!

«Casa Mugiot, Cantina» achieves a holiday rating of 5 (rating scale: 1 to 5) at 8 submitted reviews.
Die Vermieter (nicht mietbare Einheit) waren mit Ihrer Familie (größere Ferienwohnung) ebenfalls vor Ort, so dass das ganze Haus belegt war. Das war aber kein Problem, da jede Einheit über eine eigene Terasse verfügt und ansonsten der große Garten mit vielen kleinen Nischen genug Möglichkeiten bietet, für sich und ungestört die Ruhe genießen zu können.
Rainer und Kerstin, die beiden Vermieter, sind ausgenommen bezaubernd und haben uns Tipps für Ausflüge, Restaurants etc. gegeben. Sie haben es verstanden, die gesunde Mischung, zwischen wir sind für euch da und lassen euch eure Ruhe genießen, hinzubekommen.
Der Naturteich ist ebenfalls sehr schön und wir sind dort nach unseren Wanderungen gerne ein paar Runden zur Erfrischung geschwommen.
Alles in allem wirklich, empfehlenswert für Menschen, die die Natur lieben, gerne wandern und von dort aus Ausflüge in die nahgelegenen Dörfer bzw. die Städte wie Alba, Asti oder auch Cuneo machen wollen.
Für eure tolle Gastfreundschaft, liebe Kerstin und lieber Rainer, noch einmal herzlichen Dank. Wir haben uns wirklich sehr wohl gefühlt in eurem kleinen piemontinischen Paradies!
Wir kommen gerne wieder!
Bernd & Christiane
Für jeden der echte Erholung sucht .... ist dies das Paradies!
Das waren ja zu viele Suchkriterien und wir waren immer teilig enttäuscht… bis wir Casa Mugiot und ihre idyllische Lage entdekten.
Das größtes Problem jetzt ist die Wahl zwischen den 2 FeWo’s: Cantina oder Bellavista.
- Die Cantina hat ein Schlafzimmer (und auch ein gutes Schlafcouch wo unseren Sohn seine eigene « Privatecke » hat). Die mehrere großen Fenster geben auf einer wunderbaren Terrasse unter den Glyzinen und Weintrauben.
- Die Bellavista hat 2 Schlafzimmer, eine großzügige Terrasse und bietet eine herrliche Aussicht über die Alta Langa Hügeln.
Die beide Wohnungen würden mit Passion und Liebe restauriert und die alte Materialen und Möbel sorgen für ein authentische Ambiente: für die Cantina, alte Terrakotta-Bodenfliesen und Gewölbedecke und für die Bellavista ein schönes Parket aus Massivholz und überall warme Farben. Die beide Wohnungen haben eine schöne Küche, Badezimmer und gemütliche Wohn- und Schalfzimmer.
Die Region lässt keine Wünsche offen: die ruhige Stadt Alba mit ihren vielen Eiskonditoren (Gelateria’s), Weinkeller (cantina’s), tolle Trattoria’s ist nur 20’ entfernt! Die Großstadt Torino, mit ihrem historischen Zentrum und weltberühmten Museen erreicht man in ca. nur eine Stunde.
Während es dieses Jahr in ganz Europa unerträglich heiß ist, genießt man in diesem verborgenen Tal von einer angenehmen Wärme und ein gut isoliertes Haus (Außenwände sind 60 cm dick).
Last but not least: der Riesegroßen Blumengarten verfügt über einen Schwimmteich ?♀️.
Ein Naturpool ohne Chemikalien, ohne Chlore, nur Wasser, das durch die Pflanzen gereinigt wird.… das Ideal für die Haut (keine Allergien) und ein echtes Traum für Kinder und Naturliebhaber.
Das sehr schöne Grundstück hat eine herrliche Vegetation, einen Badeteich und zahlreiche Rückzugs- und Ruhemöglichkeiten.
Die Aussicht von der Terrasse ist unschlagbar schön, dort zu sitzen, das Frühstück zu genießen, die Ruhe, einfach herrlich.
Wer gerne aktivier sein möchte hat in der Umgebung viele Möglichkeiten zum wandern und biken.
Wir sind restlos begeistert und können alles hier nur loben, wir werden sicher weitere Urlaube hier verbringen.
