Once again a wonderful stay at the base of Sacra di Sam Michele, the mediëval Annet which figured in The Name of the Rose. Barbara and her family gave us a warm welcome in the apartment full of treasures. And a filled cool box, wine, sweets and drinks! And just opposite the house a baker craftsperson with excellent bread and pastry. A place to love and to return to!

Hideaway in nature close to Turin’s beautiful centre

Our second stay in the tastefully decorated appartment of Barbara and family was again very relaxing and serene. The nature surrounding the estate and the proximity of Turin by train from Avigliana offer the best of both worlds: a quiet area far from the traffic and hectic city, but cultural highlights within easy reach. We loved the way we were again welcomed by the family and hope to return soon. Great hideaway for couples!

Prachtige locatie!

We vonden het huis prachtig, echt met stijl en heel sfeervol, groot met één slaapkamer in Venetiaanse stijl! Barbara, de gastvrouw had heerlijk eten en drinken neergegelegd zodat wij goed voorzien waren voor de eerste dag (en meer). M.a.w. kosten noch moeite bespaard om het naar onze zin te maken. Afgezien vd warmte (juli) hebben we genoten vd prachtige omgeving. Turijn is via het treinstation (8min. rijden) binnen een 1/2u bereikbaar wanneer de trein doorrijdt (1× moeten uitstappen, zoeken, 2 uur). Mooie stad, niet duur. Aanrader; Sacre Saint Michel en de PLAATS Susa is prachtig (niet treinstation of porta Susa, is in Turijn!) Wij hebben genoten!

Unter dem Heiligtum des Erzengels Michael

Barbara und ihre Familie tun alles, damit sich die Gäste wohlfühlen. Man wohnt in einem alten Herrenhaus, wird liebevoll mit Lebensmitteln versorgt. Das Susa-Tal, zu dem Avigliana gehört, ist recht zersiedelt, aber es ist nicht weit, und man ist in den Bergen, die den Wanderer und Biker in jeder Hinsicht herausfordern.

Zuhause in Italien

Die Ferienwohnung liegt sehr idyllisch. Sie schmiegt sich an einige Hänge. Von dort führt ein schöner Weg in 90 Minuten zur Sacra San Michele. Das ist ein sehr lohnenswerter Spaziergang. Der kleine Ort hat eine wunderbare Bio-Bäckerei, eine Käserei und eine nette Trattoria, die in weniger als 5 Minuten zu erreichen sind. Das Haus ist sehr schön und massiv gebaut. Wir haben alle hervorragend geschlafen. Die Einrichtung ist sehr liebevoll. Unsere Gastgeberin und ihre Familie wohnen im Gebäude nebenan. Alle haben sich rührend um uns gekümmert und wir möchten uns nochmal dafür bedanken. Obwohl wir den ganzen Garten nutzen durften, haben wir auch viel Zeit auf dem wunderbaren massiven Balkon verbracht und Nachts die schwärmenden Glühwürmchen beobachtet. Die strategische Lage ist hervorragend. Turin ist eine halbe Stunde mit dem entfernt. Etliche dramatische Spaziergänge in den Alpen liegen im Umkreis von einer Stunde. Wir haben es sogar geschafft einen Tag ans Mittelmeer zu fahren. Diese Ferienunterkunft ist eine hundertprozentige Empfehlung.

Second Time in Avigliana

As Family (3 Persons) we visited this Location for the 2nd time and we enjoyed it even more as the 1st time as we know the direct area better as before. The house and location (+ 2 new born goats) are truly appealing, beside that the hosts give you always a warm welcome and you strongly notice that taken care of their guests is their passion.

Response from VrboOwner on 29 Mar 2020
Beste Helga, we zijn blij dat ons welkom werd gewaardeerd. Het spijt ons dat je je verbeeldde dat er wijngaarden in de buurt van ons huis waren: zoals je kunt zien, zijn er veel kastanjebossen, maar om wijngaarden te vinden moet je de vallei in, of naar de Langhe of Roero ... Over de lelijke industriële gebieden, wij zijn het met u eens. In ons kleine en oude dorp werd in feite een comité geboren om ons nog steeds intacte territorium en de natuurlijke gebieden die ons nog steeds omringen te verdedigen tegen de agressie van cement, die we met onze inzet konden stoppen. Uw ernstige oordeel helpt ons om de weiden en bossen die ons nog steeds omringen te verdedigen. Met vriendschap! Barbara (Sorry voor niet perfecte vertaling ...)

Wunderbare Ruhe am Fuße der Sacra!

Die Wohnung ist wudnerbar in einem kleinen Örtchen gelegen. Der Biobäcker und die Käserei sind mit "Hausschuhen" erreichbar. Wir waren für eine Schreibeklausur da und konnte so den Platz und die Ruhe (unterbrochen nur von Kuh- oder Schafsglocken ;-) ) vor Ort sehr gut nutzen. Barbara und Paola, die beiden guten Seelen des Hauses haben zudem den Aufenthalt zu einem wunderbaren Erlebnis gemacht und zum Gelingen unserer Texte beigetragen. Ganz herzlichen Dank für all die Aufmerksamkeiten! Noch einige Worte zur Lage: Avigliana ist in 5 min erreicht (Auto / 15-20 min mit dem Rad), der Zug nach Turin geht ab Avigliana alle halbe Stunde nach Susa jede Stunde, an den Lago Grande ist man auch schnell geradelt (10-15 min) und wer einfach mal auf die Sacra di San Michele wandern möchte braucht nur aus der Haustür treten und ist im Grunde schon auf dem Weg. Wir freuen uns in jedem Fall auf das nächste Mal! Fam Cerny

Pictures don't do justice to this beautiful place!

I cannot adequately put into words the perfection that was our stay here. Barbara and her family are the most genuine, kind people, and you can tell they love what they do; Barbara has spared no detail in every room of the apartment, from flower petals in the ice cubes (!) to flowers, candies, and handwritten notes throughout the house. The home was built by a family member and includes a large Italian marble floor (so exquisite!). The kitchen was fully stocked with all we'd need to cook a meal after a long, tiring journey. Additionally, the family provided fresh eggs from the chickens and wine and pastries! truly, no detail was overlooked. The place has a zen-like quality, and for the first time on our trip, I was able to fully relax and take in the air; we sat on the balcony each night and drank wine and wrote in our journals. The property is surrounded by beauty -- a lovely garden at our disposal for herbs for cooking, trails and mountains/lakes, and a delightful restaurant less than 2 minutes walk from the home. On one morning, I was ill and not ready to drive the car, and so Barbara's son graciously offered to drive us into the town and became somewhat of a tour guide for us that day (MANY THANKS!). I have already said I will return to this place again in the future. Thank you, Barbara! What a special place you have.
