Forget the sense of time in this wonderful countryside retreat nestled in northwest Italy’s Piedmont region, equipped to the highest standards to ensure guests have the best time in a home away from home.

Villa Laretta is a superbly modern 2-storey villa sleeping up to 6 guests in 3 elegantly furnished bedrooms, conveniently placed on the upper floor for your comfort and privacy.

The villa’s discreet luxury style from inside and out allows for the perfect holiday, encouraging guests to succumb to total relaxation. Constructed with sun-bleached stone and complemented by a plush velvet sofa, the living room offers a stunning garden view through the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the pool and its terrace, and it’s equally inviting during the day as it is in the evening when the iridescent light illuminates the pool and stars appear on the night sky. Next to the living area, guests can find a spacious dining room and kitchen with vaulted terracotta ceilings and a dining table to enjoy glorious meals together. On this level, you can also find a private spa equipped with a hot tub, a Finish sauna and Turkish baths, ideal for romantic evenings or pampering rituals before dinner. The three bedrooms are all located upstairs to allow guests extra privacy and are designed with stylish materials in a pleasant harmony of warm colours, creating the right atmosphere for a well-deserved rest.

The garden allows for solitude and a symphony of sounds; wind rustles through the trees, water ripples through the pool, and birds sing from the nearby trees. On a hot day, the only way to cool down is to jump into the pool and take in the views of the surrounding countryside as you float on the water. Those wanting to read a book or work on their holiday tan have the entire terrace.

Around the villa, you can discover sleepy hilltop villages and rustic backcountry full of vineyards, dipping hills and plains designed for sunset strolls and visits to local wineries. Not only a paradise for nature lovers, the Piedmont region is also world-renowned for its delectable gastronomy, with regional specialities such as truffle, cheeses and various types of pasta being the main hits.

A wholesome stroll through the rich landscapes will take you to Monetu Roero, a small village with amenities such as restaurants and bars and scenic hiking areas with ancient ruins, bridges and vantage points.

Other towns just a stone’s throw away include Alba, Bra and Motta, all unique with food places, wine bars, bakeries and cute historical centres and palazzos to admire (and photograph).

If you’re looking for more hustle and bustle, visit Turin, once Italy’s capital city. With its grand boulevards, ambient cafés, ancient ruins and world-class museums, it’s a fantastic option for a day trip, ensuring everyone will find their own niche. 

• Please note that due to the villa’s location, hiring a car is recommended to explore the region comfortably.
