This typical Monferrato farmhouse, dating back to 1800, is located in the historic centre of the charming municipality of Fubine Monferrato (AL). Access to the property is through a characteristic large wooden door with full opening for the driveway or through the pedestrian access door only. At the entrance, the brick vaulted ceiling and the cobblestones immediately introduce us into the magical atmosphere of the countryside, leading us into the large courtyard from which we access the three independent, renovated residential units. The first dwelling on the ground floor consists of an entrance hall on a pretty little room with a fireplace, a living room with a splendid frescoed vault, a very nice habitable kitchen, totally in brickwork, a bedroom, and a bathroom complete with shower stall. On the first floor there is an entrance hall, double living room with dining area and fireplace, kitchen, veranda, storage room, hallway, two bedrooms and bathroom. The third flat consists of entrance hall on living room with fireplace and barrel vaults, communicating with large kitchen, living room, bathroom with shower stall. On the first floor, hallway, double living room with exposed beams from which two large bedrooms can be obtained, another bedroom with terrace, bathroom. The property is completed by a large room on the other side of the courtyard, on the first floor, renovated, with exposed beams and which was originally the barn of the farmhouse. On the ground floor there is a garage and a large tavern with a characteristic bread and pizza oven. On the basement floor there is access to approximately 400 square metres of cellars with brick vaults. One of these cellars leads into the 'infernot', a small underground chamber, dug entirely by hand in the 'Pietra da Cantoni' (commonly known as 'tufo'). A characteristic of the infernot is the absence of light and natural ventilation, which allows these rooms to maintain a constant temperature and humidity throughout the year. They were and still are optimal environments for storing bottled wine. Most of the infernot originated in the 19th century and represent a continuation of the wine cellar. The three units have independent heating systems with independent boilers. Garden and land of 3000 sqm.
Fubine Monferrato is a municipality in Piedmont in the province of Alessandria, with more than a thousand inhabitants, situated on the last Monferrato hills overlooking the Tanaro plain. It is a village with a remarkable historical background behind it, from continuous struggles for possession, to revolts and famines. Fubine is one of only fourteen villages on the infernot circuit declared a UNESCO heritage site. It is the area with the highest concentration of infernots in the entire Monferrato region. In fact, there are about fifty officially registered, two of which, the Angeli infernot, are open for visits throughout the year. Two other places of interest in the municipality are Palazzo Bricherasio and the Spalto.
