Set in a commanding position with stunning views onto the Tanaro Valley and the gentle wine hills of the Barolo Langhe, a substantial historic property from the early 19th century with 3.5 hectares (8.64 acres) of surrounding land. The buildings, spreading horseshoe-like on three sides of a main courtyard, include a three-story residential section with distinctive features from the 1800s like vaulted ceilings and cotto floors, and several buildings comprising the farm section (deposits, stables, haybarns) which can nowadays be converted into additional habitable space. The habitable section measures currently over 700 square meters while the entire floorspace exceeds 1200 square meters. The availability of ample floorspace allows for many different uses of the property: as a prestigious private country residence, a country inn and resort, a venue for meetings and events, a company headquarters (for example for a winery).
