About this property

Casa Sonny: cottage in magical garden 3km from the historic center of Asti

A cottage, rich in history and unique details, an enchanted garden, a labyrinth of colors and scents: nestled in the beautiful Unesco hills of the Langhe-Monferrato, but 3km from the historic center of Asti, this is a perfect starting point for a tour food and wine and culture. Peace, relaxation, walks in the park, genuine breakfast with organic orchard products. We will be available for suggestions or, upon request, to offer you an experience to discover the territory.

We are 3 km from Asti, 50 from Turin, 30 from Alba.

Casa Sonny is a 70sqm cottage furnished with antiques and works of art. Around, the large and varied garden, rich in every tree essence and historical evidence, is ready to make you feel part of this ancient world, a little dreamy and all to explore. There are fruit and ornamental trees, flowers and shrubs of all kinds, stone seats and tables, pergolas, a synergistic vegetable garden.
For those who wish, upon request, it is possible to experience drawing and watercolor.
There are board games, freesbies, bowls for children.
Casa Sonny consists of:
- a bedroom with a double bed and two large windows: one overlooks the patio / garden, the other overlooks the hill.
- a second bedroom with a French bed and two ogival windows overlooking the vineyards.
- a 30sqm lounge / kitchen, complete with dishwasher and various useful appliances (juicer, toaster, microwave, mixer, juicer etc ...), with a comfortable double sofa bed. For HD television we have SKY. In the fridge and in the pantry you will find products for breakfast or snack (milk, butter, organic jam of our production, yogurt, cereals, juices, biscuits or homemade cake, in addition to the inevitable Piedmontese hazelnuts!). Brochures, maps and books of Asti and its surroundings.
- a bathroom with shower Washing machine.

You will have at your disposal, for your exclusive use, the large patio covered by the wisteria and jasmine pergola, in front of the cottage entrance, with a recycled wood table, iron chairs, deck chairs, rocking chair. Above the cottage there is also a private path that leads to a meadow with a large fig in the middle and plum trees.
Of course you can walk in the park / orchard (common area) and stop to pick hazelnuts or other seasonal fruits.

We live in the main house, next to Casa Sonny and another cottage (Casa Pimpa). We will be happy to give you any suggestions or, on request, to organize for you tours to discover the medieval castles, the Romanico del Monferrato, a very precious unicum of warm colors sculptures, of Piedmontese Baroque, soft and sober as our hills and the typical snacks "sinoire", small dinners from late afternoon.
Or, we will be invisible ... :-)

Other things to highlight:

Here there is no pool, but only relaxation, peace and lots and lots of green.
The cottage is inserted in the main house, a typical former Piedmontese farmhouse, and next to another cottage (Casa Pimpa), which we also rent for short periods, all completely independent of each other.
The entrance is independent and hidden: that is, you can enter and exit without anyone seeing or disturbing you. To access it, a narrow and steep stone staircase with a wrought-iron handrail, or a short path in the grove of pine, larch and bamboo, and stone steps.
The areas in common are the parking lot (under a cool wooden roof) and the park with the orchard and vegetable garden.
Heating in Casa Sonny is via a bio pellet heating stove: it is modern and with a beautiful design, and it works very well: however, it must be charged every day (once a day, normally in the morning). We can do it without problems, or if you prefer, you can do it yourself.
IMPORTANT: Tourist tax to be delivered by hand: 2 euros per day per guest for a maximum of 4 days. After 4 days you won't pay anymore. Exempt children under 10 years. The receipt will be issued.
Documents will be required.

Nice and quiet place to be
We enjoyed our stay very much. The personal reception by Valentina is a bonus, as is the many treats she had placed in the house. The countryside is beautifully rural and quiet. The location gave us every change to explore Piëmonte. Many thanks to Valentina for making us feel welcome in her house. Peter and Lucia

Lovely stay in the outskirts of Asti
The apartment was stylish with a special personal touch. The kitchen was well equiped. Everything is in place. Coffee, tea, spices, oil & vinegar were provided, and Valentina even surprised us with some local products in the fridge. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery and the quitness around. The apartment has a separate entrance and a lovely decorated and completely private terrace. Only the WiFi was sometimes weak and cell phone network is hardly available in the apartment. Also the TV is only accessible with an own Amazon Prime Account. The path to the appartment leads through the garden and has some unpaved paasages as well as steep stairs. This was not a problem to us, but others may find it difficult. Anyhow we can clearly recommend Casa Sonny. Valentina was a lovely host and always available for questions via smart phone.

Sehr persönliches Haus
Das Haus liegt abseits von Asti, in einer sehr ruhig Gegend. Die Ausstattung ist sehr persönlich mit Büchern und Bilder. Frau Valente war immer zu erreichen, hat uns bereits im Vorfeld mit Unterlagen versorgt und zu unserer Überraschung war der Kühlschrank bei der Ankunft gefüllt, danke! Einziges kleine Manko, das W-Lan ist sehr langsam. Mobilfunkempfang ist fast nicht gegeben (aber dafür kann der Gastgeber nichts). Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und sollten wir wieder einmal im Piemont Urlaub machen, werden wir sicher zuerst bei Frau Valente anfragen, danke für alles und LG, Fam. Fischer

Séjour magique
Casa Sonny est un lieu magique. Loin du tumulte, le temps est suspendu, la vie est d’une douceur qui n’a d’égal que la beauté des collines du Monferrato. La maison est magnifique, um voyage dans le temps, l’impression d’être transporté dans un palazzo d’époque. On y est si bien, on voudrait y rester pour toujours. Merci à Valentina pour son accueil chaleureux, ses suggestions de visites toujours très appréciées. À la Casa Sonny, Valentina a pensé à tout, il ne manque absolument rien, pour notre plus grand bonheur. Merci encore pour un séjour inoubliable.

La bella vita
Het huisje ligt slechts een paar km van het gezellige Asti maar de wereld lijkt hier stil te staan. Je hoort geen verkeer, alleen de natuur (tenzij de buurman zijn gras maait). Je kunt hier ongestoort genieten want er is ook geen mobiel bereik (alleen een beetje WIFI). Het huisje beschikt over meerdere terrassen waar je kunt zitten om bv te genieten van je ontbijt onder de pergola of van het uitzicht op het bovenste terras. Vanuit de woonkamer heb je ook zicht op de omliggende vallei. Het huisje is verder voorzien van alle gemakken en een heerlijk bed. In de buurt is genoeg te doen. Er zijn mooie steden om te bezoeken (Asti, Alba maar bv ook Turijn op 1 uur). De omgeving is fantastisch en er zijn volop wandelingen in de omgeving (check apps zoals komoot of alltrails). Bezoek ook eens een wijnkelder (cantina) en laat je alles uitleggen over de wijnteelt. Proeven kan natuurlijk ook (bv https://cantinamonpissan.it/). Maar je kunt natuurlijk ook heerlijk luieren rondom dit huisje. Je zult hier tijd tekort komen!

Stilvolle Wohnung, tolle Gastgeberin
Sehr schön eingerichtete Wohnung. In der Küche fehlt es praktisch an nichts. An den Fenstern sind günstigerweise durchweg Fliegengitter. Wir waren zwar nur zu zweit, konnten aber ganz selbstverständlich beide Schlafzimmer hergerichtet bekommen. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr sympathisch und gibt viele gute Tips zu Restaurants, Einkaufen, empfehlenswerten Besichtigungen/Ausflügen (auch unter Berücksichtigung unserer persönlichen Interessen), Veranstaltungen (das Palio von Asti fiel gerade in die Zeit unseres Aufenthalts), ... Die Kommunikation in ihrer Abwesenheit lief völlig problemlos per WhatsApp (auf Englisch). Jederzeit zu empfehlen. Allerdings sollte man mit dem Auto da sein, die Wohnung ist ein Stück außerhalb der Stadt. Dafür sind Parkplätze direkt am Haus vorhanden.

Traumurlaub
Mein Sohn und ich verbrachten neun wunderbare Tage in diesem zauberhaften Urlaubsdomizil. Das Häuschen nahm uns sofort gefangen mit seiner liebevollen, künstlerischen Ausstattung. Von Tag zu Tag konnten wir uns mehr erholen und die Seele baumeln lassen. Hier stimmt einfach alles:Wohnung, Landschaft, Kultur und vor allem die überaus freundliche Betreuung durch die Vermieterin Valentina. Der Abschied ist uns sehr schwer gefallen. Marianne Eberwein

Wunderbare Wohnung im wunderbaren Monferrato
Charmanter kann eine Ferienwohnung eigentlich nicht sein. Alles ist hier so, wie es sein soll, und wir haben uns zwischen den alten Möbeln und den vielen Büchern von Anfang an wie zu Hause gefühlt. Die Wohnung ist groß, die Betten komfortabel, alles ist mit sehr viel Geschmack eingerichtet, es gibt tausend kleine Details zu entdecken. Die Terrasse(n) und der Garten, der gerade zu blühen begann, bieten viele verschiedene Ecken zum Sitzen, mit Sonne oder Schatten für alle Tageszeiten; immer mit den schönen Blicken in die Landschaft. Valentina (die leider unterwegs war, die uns aber mit whatsapp-Nachrichten bei allen Fragen schnell weiterhalf) hatte alles für uns vorbereitet; Butter, Milch, Joghurt im Kühlschrank; eine Flasche Wein; Kaffee, Essig/Öl, Gewürze - einfach großartig. Das Haus ist ein perfekter Standort, um das Piemont in alle Himmelsrichtungen zu durchstreifen, alte Kirchen zu sammeln, Burgen und Schlösser zu besichtigen, durch verschlafene kleine Städte und Dörfer zu bummeln, ... und natürlich gut zu essen und zu trinken. GRAZIE, Valentina!!!

Wunderbare Tage im Piemont
Die Ferienwohnung liegt sehr idyllisch inmitten von Weinbergen und ist sehr ruhig. Sie ist sehr gut ausgestattet mit allem, was man so braucht. Valentina hat uns persönlich in Empfang genommen. Auch für unser Frühstück hat sie vorgesorgt. Als Ausgangspunkt für Touren im Piemont sehr gut geeignet. Allerdings sollte man mit einem Fahrzeug anreisen, da die Gegend sehr ländlich ist, und auch für die Einkäufe.

Wir waren verliebt. Am liebsten wären wir geblieben.
Es war alles da was man brauchte. Valentina war immer zu erreichen. Auch als wir uns ausgesperrt hatten. Für uns hatte sie Kaffee, Müslie, Marmelade, Milch, Brot bereitgestellt. Waschmaschine und Spülmaschinexwaren vorhanden. In unmittelbarer Nähe viele Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Das Haus liegt in traumhafter Lage mitten Obst-und Weinreben. Sehr ruhig. Alles was man im modernen Leben braucht war da. Sky Fernseh für diecFetnsehsüchtigen. In der Gegend kann man tolle Ausflüge machen. Auch in Zeiten Corona. Wir können Casa Sonny nur weiterempfehlen.
