Cocconato: Haus mit eigenem Garten in den Hügeln.

We were two couples, one from the UK and one from the USA meeting up for a relaxing holiday in the splendour of Piedmont. We had found this place completely accidentally through this website, and were a little nervous that it couldn't possibly be as lovely as the pictures. But we were VERY wrong! The pictures just cannot simply do justice to quite how amaxing this place is. The views across the valley from both the one bedrom and the enormous picture window in the lounge were spectacular.

The house was so clean, furnished to a good standard with every piece of kitchen equipment that we could need. Both bedrooms are doubles and were kingsize beds with wardrobe and drawers - plenty of room for us both. The kitchen is very modern, complete with dishwasher. Washing machine downstairs was also handy when we spilt red wine and/or pasta sauce over ourselves!

The garden was very lovely and not very overlooked. You can just sit there with a glass of wine and just take in the view!

The shower was also very good.

Cocconato itgself is a little gem of a place. You walk uphill into the town from Ca Ginota, but that does mean it's an easy roll home after a splendid meal in one of the beautiful restaurants of the town! We enjoyed day trips out to Asti, Alba, Turin and Barolo. All of them were about an hour or less in travel time. We had such a fantastic time here - mixing each day out with a following restful day in the beautiful house or garden.

Karen the host was just terrific and extremely attentive - she made brilliant suggestions for restaurants to visit, and even made us reservations at some. She was always on hand to answer any queries we had, and even left us a welcome bottle of fizz, pasta and jar of sauce for us too.

We are already booked for our next trip! It was superb. Cannot reccomend highly enough.

"The holidayhouse was lovely with an amazing view. Everything we needed was there, the house is comfortable and clean. The owners were very helpfull and went to a lot of effort to give us an enjoyable stay. Not only did they put a cot for our daughter, but the also brought toys. They made us feel very welcome."

I was looking for a quiet place and I found it. The view was stunning, very quiet and I could walk into Cocconata for the market or for dinner. I loved all interactions with the owners who brought me a microwave, upgraded the WIFI, brought me clean sheets weekly. If there was any issue they were available and made me feel very at home including a bottle of wine and pasta as a housewarming gift. Highly recommended.. Thank you

We totally enjoyed our week in this recently renovated small house. It's in a lively village in the northern Monferrato area of Piemonte. Beautiful view from the living/dining room down into the valley and across to villages and mountains. Comfortable, simple furnishings with just about everything we needed for our stay. Window screens in bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen; brand new bathroom; small but complete kitchen with fullsize fridge, dishwasher, stovetop and oven, plenty of cooking equipment.

In the village are several restaurants and good food shops. It's about a 20 minute drive down to Asti, and many interesting villages are close by. A lovely area, and not as visited as the part of Piemonte below Asti.

We spent our days exploring villages, finding Romanesque churches, castellos, beautiful drives, wonderful restaurants. There are marked walking trails through the vineyards; terrific local wines.

We loved our week, would certainly recommend it and hopefully will return some day!

Wir sagen Dankeschön für 10 wunderbare Tage in Ca'Ginota. Das Haus liegt in den Hügeln des Monferrato, mit einer phänomenalen Aussicht auf die Landschaft. Es mangelt an nichts, alles ist genau so , wie es beschrieben wird. Der Garten ist komplett umzäunt, perfekt für unsere Freyja.

Cocconato ist ein gemütliches, ursprüngliches Dorf, in Bar und Pizzeria kann man gemütlich verweilen, in einem kleinen Supermarkt einkaufen.

Wir haben auf unseren Ausflügen eine wunderschöne Gegend mit typisch italienischen Dörfern kennengelernt und viele historische Kathedralen angeschaut. Turin und Asti sind schnell zu erreichen.

Die Vermieter Karen und Ugo sind super nett, sehr aufmerksam und immer erreichbar.

Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!
