Listing Description

Property reference:- A0141 : Home to a couple who are mostly offering their home to house/cat/chicken sitters, but may occasionally be able to house-swap in the late summer : Sleeps 7 in beds...but more floor space is available!

This English-speaking missionary family live near Rocchetta Tanaro, in the centre of the Piedmont Region of north-west Italy. This is a beautiful, rural area with wonderful countryside & vineyards; their home is about an 1.5 hour's drive from the Italian Riviera in Portofino and Camogli. About the same distance is the regal metropolis of Turin. But there are many lovely places to visit at short distances. The village centre is 5 minutes drive or 25min brisk walk. It is possible to swim in the nearby river. Public transport is not good so a car is necessary here.

ASTI, 25 minutes drive, has a colourful and vibrant open-air market and the area is world renowned for food and wine. Under 30 mins drive are the famous vineyards of Barolo and Barbaresco. .

Large, private, hedged garden with many plants in pots. This is a wonderfully peaceful garden with trees, nearby brook, fields and forest, hills & rolling countryside. Al fresco eating in the cool of the evening is a joy. They have a small & large barbecue for house swappers or house sitters to use, and plenty of seating areas.

LaRocca Vineyard Church meets in the family’s home, and services are in Italian, but often translated into English or German when necessary. The church closes in August for summer.
