About the owner
Looking for ancient farmhouses to restore and sell, my husband and I we run up into Casa Carlotta. It is a magic place, with sunsets not to be missed, that we immediately decided to keep as our country home. A peaceful and relaxing place where you never get bored: walks, horse riding, cycling, truffles hunting, tastings of excellent wines and cheeses of local production. Casa Carlotta is an ideal place where you can chill out and rest, in summer/spring surrounded by flowered gardens and in autumn /winter in front of a wood burning stove.This is the perfect place where everyone wish to take refuge in and we come here for many holidays in all the seasons.
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We came in the "Alto Monferrato" from the Liguria Region, pushed by our love for horses. This was a fantastic place to train our horses for international competitions. In this countryside is possible to ride for kms without find a paved road. Just hills, rivers, and valleys where is very easy to find fallow deers and pheasants crossing slowly the street without running away. We love to come to this paradise, surrounded by the nature and with lovely neighbours, loving to care for flowers -in particular roses- and to cultivate the kitchen garden - (so we can easily enjoy fresh vegetables).
Unique benefits of the property
Casa Carlotta is a peaceful and comfortable place, but, if you like, in 15 minutes you can reach the crowd of the town, in nearly half an hour the Ligurian Riviera or in one hour the most famous Italian shopping town, Milan.
We have a reserved part of the property (in the upper floors of the Barn) and when we are here we can more easily help our guests in theirs requests. The position of the entrances and of the gardens of the two properties allows a complete privacy.
