We live in a historic country house, with a large courtyard and surrounding greenery, in an oasis of peace, but with the possibility of animating the days with music and outings. The closest city is Asti, rich in medieval art and more. Turin is an hour's drive away.

Montemagno (Asti) is located in the heart of Monferrato, a winegrowing landscape of hills of UNESCO heritage.
We will have the opportunity to make excursions in the area, see medieval villages, make visits to wineries and taste typical local foods.
