Right in the heart of the Barolo zone, just minutes from Barolo, La Morra, Monforte d'Alba and Novello, Villa Ribota is a recently-renovated farmhouse set amongst the vines with its own swimming pool.

Sleeping 10 people in 5 big double bedrooms, the house also offers 4 modern bathrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen (refitted in early 2022), living/dining room, outside dining area, garden and pool area. It is the perfect home for families or groups of friends to enjoy everything the Langhe has to offer.

Alba (home of the White Truffle Fair) and Bra (the home of Slow Food) are each just 15 minutes away.

Not only are we out in the countryside, where you can breathe fresh air and escape the crowds, but we have also implemented a raft of new cleaning procedures to comply with local regulations and ensure that you have a healthy stay! We have also created a digital guidebook/house manual which guests will have access to as soon as they book. If you have any questions, please just ask.

The house is set among the vines outside the hilltop town of Novello, with views across the hills all the way to the Alps. It is immersed in the peace and quiet of the countryside, yet it is just a few minutes' drive from the Barolo area's famous towns, vineyards, wine bars and restaurants. You can follow trails through the vines which run directly from the villa to our nearest wineries, restaurants and local villages.
