Enchanting Villa, Wonderful Sunset, Private Pool, WIFI,Dogs Allowed,FencedGarden
"Cascina Sant'Antonino" is a charming country house, recently completely renovated but with a smell of ancient manor house which fascinate; located in the splendid setting of the Alto Monferrato, UNESCO HUMAN HERITAGE,in the center of THE CASTLES ROAD and of THE WINE DISTRIC. Here you are in the middle of the nature, with beautiful flowered gardens, wonderful swimming pool and stunning views of Monviso Mountain and of the highest snowy Alpes (Monte Rosa and Cervino) with sunset not to be missed!! To reach the house there are about 300 mt of unpaved road and this give to the property even more privacy. At Cascina Sant’Antonino you can also enjoy an extraordinary view of the hills around: castles, vineyards and a pine forest where you can go to have a walk, with a final view that always astonished also the owners (that are used to see it). The Portico and the Veranda of the house are fully furnished as areas for 'alfresco' dining and rest. Next to the swimming pool, with a beige plastic liner to reflect the light blue color of the sky there is another nice living area with chairs and sofa under a wooden gazebo with sunbeds and parasol for those who are shade-loving. Others sitting areas under the portico and in the garden. Around the house there are green grass gardens with plants and flowers, where you can chill out and rest. Many walks by foot, bicycle (several mountain bike trails with own or rented bikes) or car, directly from the house to natural sites - lakes, pine-woods, little churches and castles. From mediaeval times on, the Ligurian nobility chose to settle, during their holidays, on the hills and in the Castles of the Alto Monferrato, where they found fresh air during the summer, good wine and food, and they could easily join the see in half an hour or the big town of the high Italy.
We can organize for you: - Typical Italian Aperitivo to have next to the pool, with local product such as wine, cheese, honey , focaccia all made at Km0. - Alfredo the owner can cook for you some tradicional recipes. - Truffle hunting or just Truffle eating with a owner's friend. - MTB tours and lessons - Unusual and interesting, you can live a very special day, playing with the bow, helped by Giulia, a bow World Champion, that lives in this area, with her dogs, owls and falcons!!! You can eat by her and his husband (her coach in this discipline).
At the house you will find a Info List of very nice Restaurants around the area.
Don’t forget we can suggest you unusual mountain bike trails…in the near pinewood , in the near Lavagnina’s Lakes area or in the wide area of the Natural Park of Capanne di Marcarolo.
You can enjoy antique markets, music, festival in every village as well as the thermal baths in the old Roman town of Acqui Terme.
The Ligurian Riviera, with Portofino, Camogli, Santa Margherita and the famous "5 Terre" is quite near, as the shopping centers of Serravalle Outlet.

Spacious and well functioning house that easily fits two families. Great and super clean pool, friendly and helpful host and spacious and quiet garden perfect for big and small children.Air-con, less mosquitos and more restaurants closer by would have been great, but nothing wasn’t as described by the host.
We loved our stay. Everything about the house was great. We loved the views, the partial remotness of it, the pool (really cooling on the hot days and bigger than we though), the walks. House is very comfortable and big - with many outside seating areas. Kitchen very well equipped. the owner was very helpful - always there to answer any of our questions or advise.

We are happy that you enjoyed and appreciated our home
A well engineering and beautiful custom villa in the foothills of Mornese! The host was very kind and understanding. We had four kids with us and this was the perfect property. Two local groceries in town make it a very convenient and well rounded stay. The pool was spacious and well kept as well with a salt water system to boot. Local wineries LA Zerba and others made for a special stay. We will be back. Thank you to Donata and her husband for their hospitality!

Super Location, Terrific Amenities, Great Hosts
The villa is extremely well maintained by Donata and Alfredo. They are warm, friendly and accommodating hosts. The views are spectacular, and from the villa it is an easy walk to Mornese. Wonderful hikes are just steps away, and you can cycle or mtn bike throughout the Piemonte region. Donata went out of her way to make us feel comfortable and is genuinely a gracious person. The rooms are thoughtfully decorated and the amenities have all the comforts of home. We would definitely return.

Wonderful villa in lovely surroundings
Dear Donata. Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely home this summer. We had an absolutely perfect stay and we would love to come back if we have the chance.
We were 2 families from Norway with 5 children and the house was just perfect for us.The house is even better than the pictures and you felt at home at once. The view is breathtaking and the poolarea felt like heaven. Pittoresk villages near by and not so far from the sea. Its just the perfect place for a perfect holiday :-)

Dear Stig,
your very nice review leaves us much proud of our house but over all, of guest like you!
your delight is our delight,and we really hope to have you again, here or in Casaleggio Boiro, in the house we'll publish on Owners Direct on November. Donata
Wir (4 Erwachsene und 2 Kinder) haben die Tage in Mornese sehr genossen. Das Haus und der Pool sind genau wie auf den Fotos - wunderbar zum Entspannen.Das Panorama ist ein Traum; durch die Lage kühlt es in der Nacht auch im August angenehm ab.Im Haus haben wir nichts vermisst, die 4 Schlafräume und die Küche haben für uns super funktioniert.Donata und Ihr Mann waren sehr angenehme Gastgeber.
Vi havde 10 overnatninger i dette hus. Donata (huset ejer) var meget imødekommende og en super vært. Hvis du vil have fred og ro og smukke omgivelser, så er dette hus lige hvad du søger. Der er hvad du skal bruge i huset, og pool området er helt perfekt til både børn og voksne. Huset ligger et stykke fra by og handlemulugheder, så bil er påkrævet. Kan varmt anbefale både hus og vært.
Wir waren eine Woche in dem Haus und haben es sehr genossen. Man ist mitten in der Natur und weit weg vom touristischen Trubel. Man kann toll joggen und es lohnt sich sein MTB mitzunehmen. Wir hatten unseren Labrador dabei, welcher sich auch sehr wohlgefühlt hat. PS, einmal haben wir für unseren Hund einen Tierarzt benötigt - der zuständige Tierarzt macht Hausbesuche und ist exzellent.
Vielen Dank Donata für die wunderschöne Zeit bei Euch. Wir haben die Ruhe, die Natur die wunderschöne Lage und das Haus sehr genossen.
Vielen Dank und Gruß

Chère,
Ce fut un plaisir pour nous d'avoir une belle famille comme la vôtre, c'était comme avoir des amis. Nous sommes heureux que vous ayez tous apprécié vos vacances ensemble
Es hat alles gepasst. Das Haus war wunderschön, alles liebevoll bis ins kleinste Detail hergerichtet. Es war sehr sauber. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett. Die Gegend war traumhaft. Obwohl das Haus einsam gelegen ist, kann man binnen kürzester Zeit Unternehmungen starten. Wir fahren auf jeden Fall wieder dorthin.

They loved the house and showed it by caring for it perfectly. the pool was always perfectly clean as if I had used the robot and also the house. I hope to have other families like them and, obviously, to can have them again in this property or in the other of Casaleggio Boiro.

They are right on the heat , it was the hottest week not only in Italy but in Europe, and the first year so hot since we renovated the house..the fans (there are one for each room ....) were not enough ... fortunately the pool could restore...

Un posto meraviglioso in cui soggiornare.
I am sad. Sad that we are returning to the UK. Sad that we are going back to work. But most of all, sad that I cannot make Donata and Alfredo an offer that they cannot refuse to sell their property to us! We have concluded that this holiday was like going home. But where everything about home was better than you remembered it. Holidays are a very personal thing but, we found the property to be a 'home from home'. The location is outstanding. Access to the national park with designated routes, exercise circuits, and water fountains, provided the perfect place walk our 'Alfie'. And the views, WOW!!
This was our first attempt at self catering in Italy and we were a little nervous. However we should not have worried. With a wonderful place to stay, local supermarkets, restaurants that use Facebook messenger and Google translate, this is a holiday destination that anyone could enjoy. We have already done the expensive all inclusive holiday thing. This is not that. This was how I could see us spending many lazy, luxurious days to come. We cannot wait to return!

it's me who says WAW: Jo' words are a romance.... a poetry!!
We understood that Jo and Neil felt at home from how they left it and I must say they are the couple that everyone would like to have as guests,
You understand how much they love each other ... and how much they love the things they do and choose. We have been honored that Jo and Neil have chosen us ... and very much in advance and we will be pleased to stay in touch, as friends do.
We were lucky to have them ....and the adorable Alfie, and we can not wait for them to come back.

Beautiful house in a lovely location
We were met by Donata who was very welcoming and helpful and showed us around the house and facilities.
This is a really beautiful house which has been decorated as a family home to very high standards. The house and kitchen is well stocked and has everything that you would need for self catering.
There is a good amount of outside space which is private and has great views looking down the valley. Great for relaxing by the pool which was warm in August.
It is well located for visiting the local areas inc Gavi, we had a lovely lunch at a local restaurant Bar Ristorante La Baracca, we also had a lovey evening drink at Villa Sparina in nearby Gavi and bought some amazing fresh pasta at La Casa Del Raviolo.
There is also some great Mountain biking routes in the hills behind the house and there is a good selection of supermarkets nearby in Ovada

About the host
Hosted by Donata Zaccaria
Ten years ago, my husband and I were looking for ancient farmhouses to restore and sell, and after many restorations we run up into this house, a magic place with sunsets not to be missed,and we immediately decided to keep as our country home,a peaceful and relaxing place where you never get bored, where to can host our many friends all the year long, and for big parties, Christmas, New Years' Eve and so on!! We came here from Liguria in 1992,pushed by our love for horses and animals. We love to come to this paradise!
Why they chose this property
These are peaceful and relaxing places where you never get bored:walks,horse riding,cycling, truffles hunting,tastings of excellent wines of local production.Cascina Sant’Antonino is an ideal place where you can chill out and rest, during summer/spring surrounded by flowered gardens and in autumn/winter in front of a beautiful fire place.This is the perfect place where everyone wish to take refuge in.All around there are just hills,rivers,and valleys where is very easy to find fallow deers and pheasants crossing slowly the street without running away. This is a peaceful and quiet place,according to all guests coming here,but,if you like,in 15min you can reach the crowd of the town, in 40min Ligurian Riviera, 1.30h the most famous Italian shopping town,Milan.
What makes this property unique
During the summer we use the near cottage inside the property(in a reserved and detached area in respect to the villa rented) and in this case we’ll be discreetly at your disposal for any request or info about things to do,tours, restaurants,ect.
