The Professor's Home

Best points about the property:

" It was our family home for over a century; now we rent it out as temporary residence to guests looking for a viable alternative to hotels and B&B. The 2100 sq ft house can accommodate up to twelve people, and you can book it from one to four weeks. A very good butcher's and grocer's shop is at two minutes walk, and all services (supermarket, railway station, two banks and so on) are only 3 miles from the house. Its central geographical position makes it a great starting point for half-a-day and one-day excursions as well as for longer trips: Asti, Alba and Turin are close by, Genoa and Milan are easily reached by road or by rail (1.5 to 2 hrs.); Florence, Venice, Rome, Cinque Terre are a bit further away and you can visit one of them in two days. The 2006 Turin Olimpic Games sky trails and sky slopes are little over an hour away by car. Those wishing to take a deeper plunge into real country life can take part in the seasonal activities, such as fruit picking, grape and hazelnut harvest, wine-making, or help tend to the vegetable garden. Kids, too, can have a wonderful time at the house: they can play inside (see the “Puppet Show Room” in the photo gallery section) and outside, and have fun in the sandbox, the twin swing and the above-ground swimming pool we set up during the good season.  We live in Asti and are always at hand to provide tips and advice to help our guests make the most of their stay!  "
