We could not have imagined a better place to stay in all of Italy than with Gianni and Maria Victoria. Everything was perfect, from a welcoming homemade pot of coffee upon our arrival, to the dinner and tasting reservations made for us to smooth our travel plans, to the absolutely beautiful location and grounds of the lodging itself. The thoughtful discussions on art, culture, and piloting were the cherry on top of an incredible visit. I could not recommend this very special location in Guarene more highly to travelers looking to experience Alba and Piemontese culture as the locals do.

We had a wonderful stay with Gianni and Maria Vittoria at their lovely home in Guarene. Firstly, Guarene was even better than we had anticipated - high up on a hill with the small winding streets and welcoming people. It is close to Alba, which was our favorite town to visit. The property has an amazing view of the surroundings from their beautiful garden - and the apartment, separate from the main house, was just right for the 4 of us. When we arrived, our hosts provided a basket of fresh fruit, bread, cheese and meat (as well as some wine!) for us to enjoy while we settled in. Gianni provided a tour of his art studio and the garden - and our kids loved it all! We also relied on them for recommendations for things to do and restaurants to go to - they didn't disappoint. When we had an issue with our next destination, they extended our stay with no issues. We were so lucky to have found this place in Guarene and are looking forward to going back to visit again soon!

We loved our stay in Guarene- our hosts were welcoming and so helpful arranging wine tasting, lovely dinners and pointing out local points of interest. We had fun walking into the village and meeting locals (also very friendly). The apartment was so comfy and in particular the bed was heavenly! We split out time maki the ng meals in the apartment and eating at the local eateries. Highly recommend!

We highly recommend staying with Gianni and Maria! They are wonderful hosts. They met us to check-in and show us around the property. They are available when needed, but otherwise are occupied with their daily projects. We enjoyed looking at Gianni's paintings and loved hearing about the rich history of the home and grounds. They made excellent suggestions for nearby restaurants and wine tasting options. They even helped us make dinner reservations.
The breakfast spread is very good, including their home made jam and fresh breakfast cakes. Maria even taught us how to make tasty coffee in a Bialetti pot.
As far as the accommodations go, I slept like a baby. It is quiet on their property and the new mattress was wonderful. The unit was clean and well appointed. The view out of the living room windows was beautiful, looking down the hillside and across the valley.
Driving was not a problem in this area of Italy and the property has on-site secured parking. The town of Alba is just a few minute drive away. La Morra is close by which had a nice wine tasting on the weekend of the Barola 2015 vintage. (Gianni's suggestion on a rainy day.)
We have rented many properties in the past, and this is the only one where we left feeling that we have new friends in another country. We give this property the highest recommendation possible and will gladly stay here again! Thank you for making your property available and for sharing your history with us. - April & Phil GA, USA
