The Location
Villa Gotta is an absolute treasure - tucked between the attractive hilltop villages of Vignale Monferrato and Fubine.The house is totally secluded, sits in its own private forest but easily accesible from the road whose drive takes one up past former vineyards to the impressively renovated and attractively restored house. The villa sits at the top of a hill with spectacular views of Vignale, San Lorenzo and Cuccaro. The Monferrato wine region is perfectly located equi-distant between the major cities of Milan, Turin and Genoa. Piemonte is world famous for its magnificent wines and is widely regarded as the food capital of Italy and visitors will engage in gastronomic delights especially in the truffle season - mid to end October. The robust reds of Barolo and Barberesco are widely available , the town of Barolo being some 40 minutes away. The beaches of the Italian Riviera are within an hours drive as are the famous ski resorts in the Italian Alps. Piemonte is the undiscovered Tuscany and the discerning visitor who appreciates stunning scenery, welcoming people and fine wine and cuisine, will return again and again.
