Spend memorable summer days at this refurbished Italian farmhouse. It's uniquely split into separate suites, so it's ideal for big groups who want to maintain their own peace and quiet. Swim a few laps of the private pool in the morning, surrounded by the tall cypresses, colourful hedges and roses in the lush gardens. In the afternoon, have an alfresco lunch under the pergola in this fairytale setting, or head to the terrace for an even better vantage point. If you fancy a workout, there's even a pilates room, where you can work up a sweat, provided you arrange for an instructor to come along. The vineyard-covered hills above Canelli are renowned for producing world-class wine, and there’s no better time to sample a local vintage than when the sun starts to dip over Piedmont’s iconic hills. At night, unwind in the jacuzzi as stars fill the sky, before heading indoors to sleep soundly in one of the gorgeous wood-panelled bedrooms. We love the mix of rustic furnishings interspersed with modern kitchens and sleek bathrooms—you’ll be very comfortable here without sacrificing an iota of charm.
