Piemonte
& Monferrato

Ancient vines, truffle forests, and the quiet luxury of a landscape that asks nothing of you.

The Region

The Luxury
of Doing Nothing

La Casa di Aldo stands at 380 metres on a hilltop in the Alto Monferrato, in the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage landscape. Around it, a full 360-degree view: terraced vineyards, the rolling Monferrato hills, and the Alps along the far horizon.

It is a base from which to explore a place where the seasons still dictate the rhythm of life, and where luxury is measured not in opulence, but in the hours spent watching the light shift over the valley.

Local
Knowledge

We are not guides, and we will not fill your days for you. But we know this corner of Piemonte well, and we are glad to point you toward the places we love: the family osteria worth the drive, the winemaker who will open a cellar, the market morning, the road with the best view. Where you go from there is yours.
