Immersed in the green relaxation of an authentic farmhouse and convenient to services

The house is very comfortable and has all the amenities needed. The hosts Franca and Sergio are very helpful and have some good tips for trips. We played a lot of jeu de boulesin the front garden

We stayed here for two weeks with our children and loved it all. Nice big house, quiet environment, with lovely figue-trees. Casalborgone is nearby. Has a little supermarket with everything you need. There is a bakery as well, a pizzeria and some bars. But above all we loved the owners. Franca and Sergio, thanks for you lovely welcome.

We had a great stay! We loved: - Franca and Sergio very available and very welcoming - The location very peaceful among the hills of Piemont, and also very authentic - The house perfect for a few people (family): clean, large, well-equipped, beautiful - The small garden with games, ideal for our three daughters We definitely recommend!

We arrived too late but that was no problem. Franca is very kind and understanding. We were also offered local produced vegetables, grown by their own. She's available to help if necessary. Casalborgone is a lovely small town. It's a good environment to relax, to enjoy the tranquillity. From there, you can easily visit other small towns but also Torino and Asti (both a little further). The only comment that can perhaps be made is with regard to the mosquitoes, which were sometimes annoying: although there are perfect fly screens everywhere, it was sometimes difficult to keep them out (e.g. if you are with children and doors open and close regularly). To conclude : a very pleasant and relaxing stay!

A nice country house with great garden and lovely neighbors, including owls and cats. Great for walks and visiting small towns, some of them with stunning, old world architecture. The road from Casalborgone to the house is a bit narrow, but hardly any traffic. We loved the stay. Franca and husband Sergio are a wonderful couple with that Italian welcome. Great people and a great place.

We arrived at Casa San Guiseppe CASALBORGONE much later, hours later than arranged, two extremely tired and stressed Australians to be greeted by our patient and understanding hosts, Franca and Sergio. That was the start of two wonderful weeks in this charming village in Piemonte and the warmest hospitality ever. Franca and Sergio are extremely proud of their village and region in general and are splendid ambassadors for Piemonte. The house itself is steeped in family history, is remarkably well equipped for anyone who likes to shop locally, buy seasonal produce and prepare their own meals. The house was huge, capable of accommodating 6 people. Bedrooms are spacious, two separate bathrooms give flexibility and we appreciated free wifi and a tv that offered some programs in English. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed for preparing our own meals. Arriving at the end of September, we were treated to Piemonte enjoying an extended summer and found the back garden and paved area outside the kitchen were just the ticket to enjoy a leisurely lunch of roasted local pepperoni and melanzane ( all roasted in our oven) cheeses recommend by Franca and Sergio and purchased at the Monday market in CASALBORGONE. The friendly staff at the local PRONTO supermarket and Luisa and Alberto at AL RAVANIN specialty fruttivendolo soon got to know the Aussies who ventured out every day. My husband has Sicilian heritage, but speaks no Italian. I took Italian language classes ages ago and speak 'un poco'. Franca, like myself believes the best way to learn a language and a culture is to be daring and try, whether that is Italain or English. Perhaps other travellers might not like to stay the length of time that we did, but we live in a small Australain village and so tend to gravitate towards the 'village' atmosphere of somewhere such as CASALBORGONE. We found it an ideal base to make trips to Asti, Alba, Chivasso, Turin and Barbaresco. Franca and Sergio treated us to a guided walk around CASALBORGONE followed by a festival dinner featuring local products. How lucky we were to be there for that celebration!! The following Sunday they arranged to pick us up and take us for a 'Sunday drive' to point out significant landmarks. Again we were treated to Franca and Sergi's genuine Piemontese hospitality and generosity. We will be spreading the word about this little gem of a place and the extra-ordinary and genuine hospitality of hosts Franca and Sergio.

We had a lovely time at the holiday home of Franca. The spot is wonderful with great views from the house including on the snow capped Alps in the distance. The house was roomy, clean, well furnished and fully equipped. We received a very warm welcome on arrival with a detailed tour of the house and some home grown vegetables and local wine. As an example of the level of hospitality, when Franca noticed we were not familiar with the Italian way of making coffee she delivered a coffee maker the very next day to facilitate us. We can recommend staying at this home, also with children.
