Magical stay in Verduno
We booked Cascina as part of our three month European tour! We wanted to have a base from which to explore this area and all the lovely wine villages. We also wanted a break from campsites for a week and Margherita was great in ensuring our camper van would be safely parked.
The house is spacious, well equipped and comfortable with a lovely garden and good outside space. Although there is no air conditioning and it was hot Margherita provides fans for the upper and lower floors which were more than adequate
The house has underground parking for ordinary cars (ours too big) and a laundry room for guests to share. You do have to pay for washing which is unusual for self catering 5 star properties but was very useful for us.
We were able to visit some lovely wine villages including Barolo and La Morra however Margherita also left a selection from her own families vineyard in the house (cost very reasonable) for us to try
There was good WiFi which helped us keep in contact with family
You will need a car to stay here as there is little public transport nearby however from Bra you can get a train to Turin which we did easily
In Verduno there are a few restaurants and Margherita recommended one La Catina which we walked to on Sunday. The restaurant served good local food and excellent wine at reasonable cost
We had a lovely week and we’re sorry to leave however I’m sure we will return to this area to explore more and would have no hesitation in recommending this house.
Thank you Margherita for all your help
