WELCOME TO CASA DELLA VOLPE IN CASTAGNOLE DELLE LANZE

Nestled among the rolling hills of the beautiful Piemonte wine region, Casa della Volpe (the fox house) is a villa offering breathtaking views of the countryside. The villa rests on a working vineyard. This cascina has ample room for one or two families, or friends travelling together and looking for their own private paradise from which to explore the area.

The villa is light and open with large windows that provide broad, sweeping views in every direction. It has four bedrooms that can accommodate 8 guests.

If you need more space, you should also consider our villa Sorella Della Volpe ( Sister of the fox) on the other side of the valley. Perfect combination for larger family gatherings.

ABOUT THE PLACE

The farm is situated in a peaceful, rural area, set back from the road and neighbors, providing privacy and serenity. The house offers a spectacular 270-degree panoramic view. As far as the eye can see, there are valleys and rolling hills lined with wine rows and hazelnut trees.

From the main terrace, you can see the surrounding villages of Priocca, Govone and San Martino Alfiei with their characteristic hilltop castles. On clear days, the majestic Alps can be seen in the distance, creating a stunning backdrop for your stay.

LOCATION

The property is off the main road, but only a 5-minute drive to more traveled roadways, which give you quick access to all your site-seeing destinations.

If you like privacy and nature’s solitude, you will appreciate the splendid isolation: few neighbors, minimal traffic, and only the sound of chirping birds and the occasional tractor working the vineyards.

NEIGHBORHOOD (walking/bicycling distance)

The old village of Castagnole Delle Lanze is within walking distanc from the house. Castagnole was recently voted Borghi più belli d'Italia " The most beatutiful villages of Italy". In the old city you will find a beautiful park with a small tower were you can enjoy spectacular views of The Alps or sample local wines, restaurants and bars. There is a good opportunity to explore the surrounding area on charming roads or paths in this hilly neighborhood abound, which is very popular for bicycle tourists.

You will be living amid the vineyards, surrounded by hazelnut and fruit trees. In addition, the area is home to the best black and white truffles in the world, so in the fall you might see truffle hunters out looking for culinary gold. In fact, excellent culinary experiences are waiting for you at every turn. Castagnole is also know as the City of Wine because of its location boarding three of the most important wine regions Italy has to offer; Monferrato, Langhe and Roero.

Weekly markets in Castagnole Delle Lance and neighboring villages offer locally grown produce and other food items for you to enjoy. Wine festivals and truffle festivals are also common.

WITHIN 30 MINUTES DRIVE

The farm is situated in between the cities of Alba, Asti and Nizza, taking aproximetly 15 minutes by car to reach. Famous destinations such as Barbaresco, Neive, Nizza, Cannelli, Bra and Barolo are also a short drive away (15-25 minutes).

1-2 HOURS DRIVE

• 1.5 hours to the Alps for downhill skiing or mountain hiking
• 1 hour south to Genova and the Italian Riviera or north to Turin
• 1.5 to Milano
• 2-3-hour drive to Nice, France


CASA DELLA VOLPE

The farm sits on approximately 25 acres and grows lovely Barbera grapes that are harvested in September/October. This is a working vineyard so you will see farmers working in the fields. Additionally, cherry, plum, apricot, hazelnut and apple trees are abundant, accessible to guests for picking when in season.

For outdoor recreation, enjoy our beautiful infinity pool (5X11 meters), built in June 2019 with a surrounding stone deck for sunbathing, reading or maybe a nap in the hammock? For outdoor dining, a pergola overlooking the pool includes a grill area, ideal for enjoying meals al fresco. The entire entrance area of the house, along with the pergola, is tiled with smooth, light tiles, creating a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

The fields are also teeming with wildlife: lots of birds and occasionally dear, rabbit or fox can be seen from the porch.

The views from the house and pool are stunning. There is a spacious open terrace on the ground floor with stairs descending to the pool area. Here you can enjoy gorgeous sunsets and starry nights while relaxing in comfortable lounge chairs.

In addition to the common terrace, each of the four bedrooms on the second floor opens onto its own private balcony, providing peaceful spots to unwind and take in the views.

Great Visit to Piedmont
My wife and I came and stayed along with two other couples for 3 nights in late September 23. Michael was extremely helpful providing us with ideas for what to do during our trip and answering any questions we had. He connected us with a local chef to do a cooking class and dinner at the house that was a great time. The house was a perfect size for our group and close to everything in the region via car. The views from the house are amazing. We had a great time and highly recommend staying here.

Vacation with adult children and grandchildren
My husband and I together with our three adult children, girlfriends and grandchildren (8 adults and 2 small children) had a fantastic stay at Casa del Volpe. This house is situated in the most beautiful surroundings and there are plenty of things to do, hanging around in the pool, wine tasting, visiting small Italian villages with fantastic restaurants, I.e you have everything around the corner. The landlord as well as house manager are extremely helpful and respond very quickly should you have any questions. We will definitely return to Casa del Volpe

Perfect week in Piemonte
My family and I stayed a week at Casa della Volpe in early July - really perfect in every way. The pictures are spot on, but it’s still better in real life. Michael was a great host and Diana (who met us at the house) was amazing - my wife and two of our kids ended up arriving a full day before the rest of us got there with the car, and Diana drove them herself to the market to stock up until we got there. Very much above and beyond! The house itself was beautiful, clean, well-stocked, and comfortable. We spent a ton of time by the pool (great to have in the summer heat) and ate outside on the patio every day so we could look out over the vineyards, sunflower fields, and hazelnut orchards. Only regret is that we only stayed a week! Definitely hope to come back again. 10/10.

Above Expectations
The entire stay was wonderful and stress free. Communication was top notch. Directions were wonderful and it was listed on Google maps. We have been to several VRBO’s in Italy and this is the first one that exceeded our expectations and the pictures were spot on. Great location to explore Borolo and Barbaresco wine country. Fernanda, the chef that was recommended was lovely and her cooking class was great. Everything worked as it should. The A/C was more than adequate even on the 100 degree days that we had on the first few days of our stay. The house was clean and tidy. There are 2 bedrooms with on suite bathrooms, the other 2 share a downstairs full bath. All 4 bedrooms are upstairs. We were 3 couples and it worked out great. Pool is clean and loungers were in good nick. Overall a wonderful stay and a property we will come back to in the future.

Villa Volpe -Sept 2023
Casa Volpe was everything we expected and more!!! The updated yet charming and rustic villa was exactly as described and a welcome retreat to relax after a day of visiting the near by towns in the Piedmont area. It honestly felt like you were far away from everything because of the vast views but just minutes from town with lots of privacy and amenities! The caretaker Diana was very helpful with restaurants, wine bars, villages and cities of interest to see. If we ever had a question she was quick to respond. The pool area was very relaxing and the outdoor bbq and patio area ambience is perfect for dinners! The flies can be annoying this time of year so thankful we bought some organic bug repellent. Inside, lots of candles at the dining table was a perfect romantic touch to enjoy dinners and wine. We stayed in the upstairs first bedroom to the left and the mattress was extremely comfortable. Also loved the ceiling fans and ability to open the screened windows to take in all of the sounds at night. Over the last few days of our stay cows showed up and I loved their bells…just like beautiful chimes music to our ears!!! Our trip in late September turned into be harvest season, and it was a special treat to see the grapes in their full beauty and all the farmers out in the fields harvesting! Just drive slow…lots of big tractors!!! Also, since it was harvest time, we got to meet our host Michael and he was very gracious, and spent some time with us explaining about his vine

Peaceful retreat
We were lucky enough to stay here for five nights. Each morning we woke up to fog rolling through the vineyard that slowly revealed the amazing views through out the day. The home was as pictured, well appointed with items we needed for cooking and relaxing. Everything was quite comfortable. Michael and Diana were both so pleasant and communicative through the entire process. Dreaming of a return trip in the warmer months to make use of the beautiful pool!
