Beautiful fully restored authentic Italian villa with B&B and/or Restaurant possibilities
Restored around 2005 and has just undergone a major update, this home overflows with charm and style. Old red brick, stone floors and the current owner's own character form this wonderful Piedmont home and business.
The location is excellent, you're in a classically-Italian hilltop town with a church, town hall, amazing castle, restaurant/cafe and a bakery that sells everything and views toward the Alps. The house is in a totally private setting with quiet surroundings and neighbours. It is a small town that stages events all through the year with local weekly markets, cafes and restaurants just 10 minutes away.
There are two houses connected by a first-floor terrace on an acre of land with beautiful gardens.
The main house was previously run as a successful eight bedroom Bed & Breakfast with a full-service restaurant on the ground floor, which could easily be reopened as a commercial investment or used as a private residence. On the ground floor there are 2 beautiful en-suite bedrooms with an original stone entrance to what used to be a large restaurant area and a large wine-tasting room, which the current owners now use for simple entertaining. These two rooms are stunning. Adjacent to this is a professional kitchen and food store. All of this, and all the furniture in the B&B section of the property, is included in the price.
The next level up is three large bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a large kitchen, with access to the rear garden, a wash room, and a family room. Above this is an apartment with three bedrooms, a living room/kitchen and two bathrooms.
The custodian's house has two large rooms on the ground floor, two bedrooms on the first floor and a bathroom.
On the side of the house are a huge covered terrace and a balcony along the front of the main house. There's a garden at the rear of the property and an entrance from the road behind. The area in front of the house is beautiful. There's a large garden space and ample room for a pool.
The area is calm, stunning, convenient and perfect for business or a wonderful place to live.
Astigiano is a territory of gentle hills located between the plains of Turin and Alessandria. It is the natural extension of the Langhe, which surround it from the south. These hills are a land of great wines and gentle landscapes ranging from rows of vines to villages perched on high hills.
