Description

Nestled in the picturesque hills of Asti’s Monferrato, between Scurzolengo and Portacomaro, this property preserves the character of an old Piedmontese country estate. Traditional architecture, authentic materials and a privileged location combine with spectacular views of the surrounding hills, extending as far as Monviso on clear days. Exposed stonework, brick vaults, historic cement tiles, genuine terracotta, wood and original details define the rooms, creating a warm atmosphere deeply rooted in local tradition. On the ground floor, the living area is arranged around a distinctive central interior staircase—an architectural feature of great expressive power that separates the salon from the kitchen while maintaining a visual connection and harmonious layout. The salon features exposed-brick vaults and cement-tile floors. The ceramic-clad kitchen island and exposed-brick ceiling give the room an authentic, timeless atmosphere. Large openings lead to the panoramic veranda, which naturally extends the living area and provides a privileged place to enjoy the landscape in every season. From here, views stretch across the hills, vineyards and fields of Monferrato. Along the northern side of the house there is also a generous area offering further potential uses and additional scope for enhancing the ground floor. The upper floor comprises four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The particularly charming master bedroom, with en-suite bathroom, faces west and enjoys unobstructed views of Monviso, which dominates the panorama, especially at sunset. The further habitable and versatile attic space can be adapted entirely to individual needs. The terrace offers picturesque views of the surrounding countryside and a pleasant sense of privacy. The spacious cellar, with an impressive barrel vault, is ideal for storing wine or hosting private tastings. The large garage provides comfort and practicality. The property also extends to the opposite side of the provincial road connecting Scurzolengo and Portacomaro. This increases the available area and creates further possibilities for using the outdoor spaces. The location combines peace and privacy with an immediate, authentic connection to the landscape, while also offering convenient access to nearby villages, services and the main centres of Monferrato. A property of rare character, where original materials, distinctive architecture, generous dimensions and views of Monviso embody the full authenticity of the Monferrato lifestyle.

Location: San Desiderio, Piedmont

At the heart of the Piedmontese hills lies Calliano Monferrato, a small village that preserves the most authentic spirit of Monferrato. Its landscape reflects the quintessential character of this UNESCO World Heritage area: gently rolling hills shaped by vineyards, historic farmsteads and panoramic roads opening onto broad, light-filled horizons. The village occupies a commanding position between the provinces of Asti and Alessandria, surrounded by a mosaic of vineyards, hazelnut groves and woodlands that mark the rhythm of the seasons. On clear days, views extend to the majestic silhouette of Monviso and the Alpine arc, offering spectacular vistas of rare beauty. Calliano Monferrato is also closely linked to Piedmont’s winemaking tradition. The surrounding hills form part of the production areas for renowned wines such as Barbera d’Asti and Grignolino del Monferrato Casalese, whose fragrances and flavours recount the agricultural and cultural history of this region. Despite its peaceful rural atmosphere, the village enjoys a strategically advantageous location: major cities such as Turin, Milan and Asti can be reached in less than an hour. Calliano is therefore ideal both as a permanent residence and as a countryside retreat for those seeking a close-to-nature lifestyle without giving up amenities and good transport connections. Surrounded by expansive landscapes, culinary and wine-making traditions, and an authentic pace of life that has endured, Calliano Monferrato is among Piedmont’s most fascinating places—a setting where landscape, history and rural culture coexist in perfect harmony.
