La Villa
Piemonte, Italy
A stylish & chic retreat
A hidden gem set in a stunning location surrounded by vineyards, rolling Piemontese countryside, and framed by the Alps beyond. In June 2014, these vineyards were awarded UNESCO heritage status.
Built in 1600, La Villa has been transformed into a stylish and chic retreat with a unique atmosphere - more like staying with friends than in a boutique hotel.

- we live in a Unesco Heritage location and our ethos is to be sympathetic to the environment -
We live amongst a Unesco Heritage location, which means that any new build must be sympathetic to the environment. For this reason, during new builds, we use all locally-sourced, natural and recovered materials, including brick, stone, terracotta roof tiles, timber as well as natural insulation materials. We also use local labour and all local artisans. We have helped a number of local artisans and furniture-restorers to gain an international reputation and clientele.
