An impressive and authentic family home with a beautiful garden, where you can spend hours in complete privacy. We stayed there with two families and children aged between 5 and 15. There's a lovely swimming pool where you can have lots of fun, beautiful spacious bedrooms with separate bathrooms, and a beautiful view of the surroundings. A charming village with a forno and a bar is within walking distance. The charming towns of Acqui Therme, Nieve, and Alba are easily accessible by car. More experienced cyclists will enjoy the beautiful cycling routes over hills and through vineyards. Unfortunately, the restaurant within walking distance was closed all week. One evening, we enjoyed dinner with Ann and her husband in the garden. The food and drinks were delicious.

The property is beautiful and spacious for our group of 8. The views are lovely. The kitchen is well equipped and the property manager couldn’t have been more helpful. Because it is very rural, there are limited places to eat and grocery shop nearby. The main restaurant was shut for the next 4 months as was the local pasta shop. The down side is that we had to drive a lot. However the lanscape Is stunning

Annette’s villa is in a beautiful location overlooking a valley below. The rooms are very comfortable, the kitchen is supplied with all of the amenities to enjoy home cooked meals, and the grounds and pool are terrific to enjoy. Would highly recommend the meals prepared by Ann (the caretaker). We had a wonderful time and would surely return.

Wonderful and spacious house with very well equipped kitchen and large and comfortable bedrooms.
Terrific mountain view, perfect outdoor areas and a superb pool.
Nice short walk to Castino, a charming small town with most of what you need.
6.0 / 10.0
Our family (six adults) spent two wonderful weeks at Casa Annunziata recently.
Like other reviewers we found the house was very clean and comfortable with several alfresco eating areas and an excellent outdoor pool area that we took full advantage of.
After we ignored the directions provided (don’t use google maps!) Ann, the property manager patiently guided us to the house - literally stayed on the phone and gave us bend by bend instructions, and then provided a comprehensive intro to the house and grounds.
We had requested some food and wine be purchased for our first evening and as a result there was great quality food and wine waiting (special thanks for the wine, Joseph!)
We really appreciated the tranquility of the house location amongst the hazelnut groves and it’s proximity to historic Castino with lovely local walks nearby.
Also appreciated the recommendations about local markets, restaurants, wine tastings etc. Of particular note were visits to Barolo, la Morra and Cortemelia - don’t miss la Corte de Cannobia for the best hazelnuts and icecream! and local visits to Francesco Scanavino and the Camo Museo a Cielo.
Like previous guests we highly recommend the home dining service provided by Ann and Joseph which was a real qhighlight of our holiday.
Many thanks Annette for sharing your property!

While the pictures of the property are breathtaking, they do no justice to reality. Everything was beyond expectations and our time in Castino was magical.
The property owner and on local manager ensured everything was in order and made our stay totally comfortable and relaxing.

Fantastic property managers. We had two dinners with vine and food. We recommend strongly to book this. Ann and Joseph were the best.
The house, garden and poolarea was very nice.

Excellent property in a great quiet rural location but only 10 mins walk from Castino with its cafe/bar, deli and pasta shop. Perfect for a relaxing getaway with our family and friends. Lots to see in the area - we only scratched the surface. Pool was lovely and much enjoyed, and a real bonus in the summer heat. Communications with Annette and Ann were excellent, and we were made to feel very welcome - with recommendations for places to visit and eat. A real highlight was the evening meal cooked by Joseph and Ann - which was delicious and highly recommended. A fantastic holiday enjoyed by all of us.

Lovely house, well-equipped and easily accommodating 10-12p. Ideal for 3 fams as the rooms on levels 1 and 2 have opposite bedrooms. Great pool on a nice 3-level garden with more than enough space. On the mezzanine level a fine terrass overlooking the hilly environment. We would certainly recommend the property!
10.0 / 10.0
Our group of 8 thoroughly enjoyed our stay and certainly would highly recommend. The house & pool area were a needed recluse after a week in busy cities to the south.
Highlight was a fantastic six-course meal with wine pairings prepared by Ann and Joseph! This made a "big" birthday even more special.
Also, I would recommend using their wine service as well. After a couple of e-mails with Joseph about what kind of wine we liked, we arrived at the and were greeted with all of the wine we ordered, which would have been impossible to duplicate from a store or wineries.
Our group likes to cook and we were very happy with the kitchen and amenities.
We enjoyed the stroll through hazelnut orchards to the village of Castino (do it at night and catch the fireflies!), where we visited the deli, coffee shop and yes, the ATM! Also caught an interesting match of fistball one night against another village in a street next to Santa Margherita.
Overall fantastic experience and a great base camp to explore Alba, Barolo, Barbaresco and other small Langhe towns, as well as the Italian Riviera.
10.0 / 10.0
Great house with an amazing view. Only “drawback” is it is slightly secluded. 15 minute drive to the grocery store. But that is also it’s charm, just be aware. We had 7 adults and the house worked perfectly for us. We took advantage of having Ann and her husband cook for us while there. Incredible meal! More than worth it. Highly recommend this amazing house!
