Description

Nestled in the heart of the Canelli hills, where the beauty of the landscape meets Piedmont’s winemaking tradition, this mid-19th-century rural farmhouse is a distinctive property preserving the charm of history while offering attractive development prospects in the hospitality sector. Operating as a high-quality accommodation facility since May 2020, the B&B has excellent reviews, a loyal repeat clientele and a high occupancy rate. It also offers tasting experiences in the property’s historic cellar, with sales of its own wines. An authentic property immersed in the tranquillity of the countryside and surrounded by a highly evocative landscape, it is ideal for anyone wishing to invest in a profitable hospitality business with significant additional potential in one of the most popular areas of the Asti Monferrato. The farmhouse has seven bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a bright approximately 55 sq m apartment sleeping four, with a panoramic terrace overlooking the property’s vineyards, as well as an additional two-room apartment for private use, ideal for providing separate living accommodation for those managing the business. The spacious breakfast room features exposed brick vaults and a spectacular fireplace dividing the bar area from the breakfast area. During the warmer months, breakfast is served outdoors beneath the large fir trees or in the “Blue House”, a charming wooden cottage with breathtaking views over the rows of vines. Surrounded by greenery and discreetly positioned, the property also features a striking 5 x 10 m swimming pool with a sun terrace and shower. The property is completed by 5 hectares of land in one contiguous parcel, including 2.3 hectares planted with four different grape varieties: Barbera, Moscato, Dolcetto and Cortese, producing four wines with branded labels. This asset strengthens the connection with the local area and opens up new opportunities for development in tourism, food and wine, and viticulture. The location in Canelli, a symbolic land of wine culture, makes the property particularly attractive to entrepreneurs, investors and hospitality professionals seeking an established business to continue or expand according to a new vision. This farmhouse is not merely a property, but a project rich in potential, in a place where history, hospitality and tradition can come together to create a unique experience in a region that tells of patient human labour, the wisdom of rural life and a profound connection with nature. A still-unspoilt corner of the world, where beauty is revealed in the orderly rows of vines, the tranquillity of the cultivated expanses and the harmony of the landscape.

Location: Canelli, Piedmont

Canelli is a town of approximately 10,000 inhabitants, nestled in the heart of Monferrato. Together with Nizza Monferrato, it is the second most important center in the province of Asti, both in terms of its productive and cultural significance and its population. In 2014, the town and its tradition linked to Asti Spumante, of which it is the beating heart, were included among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, recognizing the territory’s extraordinary historical and cultural value, together with the distinctive landscape surrounding it, shaped by expanses of vineyards tended and cultivated over the decades by local farmers. It was precisely in Canelli, through the processing of the Moscato Bianco grape, that the history of Italy’s great sparkling wines began, reaching excellence with Asti Spumante. Architectural jewels of this fascinating wine-producing world are the famous “Underground Cathedrals,” true masterpieces of oenological engineering and architecture. Associated with historic brands known throughout the world, such as Gancia, Coppo, Contratto and Bosca, these “cathedrals” are magnificent cellars featuring rooms with exposed, unplastered brick vaults that extend into the tuff caves excavated by humans beneath the town. Here, millions of bottles are left to ferment at a constant temperature, acquiring the aromas and flavors typical of the traditional-method sparkling wine. Canelli is also a convenient starting point for exploring the Langhe, Monferrato and Piedmont in general: it is half an hour from Alba and Asti, 15 minutes from Nizza Monferrato and 30 minutes from Acqui Terme. It is conveniently located for access to the airports of Turin, Milan and Genoa; in an hour and a half, one can reach the Ligurian coast as well as Piedmont’s ski resorts. Numerous events are held throughout the year, including Canelli, City of Wine, the Spring Festival, Stracanelli, the Regional Truffle Fair and the San Martin Fair, as well as the Palio of Asti, in which Canelli competes alongside several other towns in the area.
