If you are searching for your dream holiday home in an authentic, unspoilt part of Italy, look no further than Villa Monteu. This stylish villa can sleep up to 18 guests, so it is the ideal choice for those planning a trip with a large group of friends or extended family. On your holiday in Piedmont’s countryside, you can unwind and de-stress in the leafy surroundings and yet you can easily reach a wide range of villages and towns for days of shopping or dining out.
This seven-bedroom home has plenty of room for a big party, and with open-plan living areas and spacious bedrooms, everyone can enjoy a little privacy when they wish to. The house is set over three floors of a beautiful building comprising the traditional home and a sleek glass and steel extension. The villa was extensively renovated to the highest standard in 2020 and is now the perfect blend of old and new, with contemporary furnishings combined with antiques and a neutral colour palette.
On the ground floor, you will enter a vast dining area with a dining table seating 18 guests. This room has access to the garden and a well-equipped kitchen with all the appliances you need to prepare drinks, meals and snacks. On this floor, you will find three of the home’s bedrooms; two bedrooms can be set up as double or twin rooms and a room with bunk beds. All these bedrooms boast an en-suite bathroom, while one is set up to be disability-friendly.
On the first floor are two more flexible bedrooms with balconies and en-suite bathrooms. There is also a large living space with comfy sofas and a TV, and there is even a grand piano available, so if you have a musician in your group, you can all gather around the piano for drinks in the evening. Adjacent to the main living room is a smaller sitting room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the garden.
The remaining bedrooms are located on the second floor; there is one bedroom here with an en-suite bathroom and two bedrooms with access to a private bathroom.
Enveloping the house, there is a wonderful, oasis-like garden with lawns, florals and trees dotted around the 4000m2 of grounds. The kids will be thrilled to find a children’s play area, table football and a ping pong table in the garden, and an inviting private pool. While the children play, the adults can unwind on the sun loungers before you all dine together on the covered dining terrace.
Close to the home, you can immerse yourself in nature and enjoy walks and hikes through the countryside. While staying at the villa, you can book many experiences too, such as truffle hunting walks, guided bike rides and even hot air balloon rides over the incredible landscape, which has recently been awarded UNESCO World Heritage status.
In addition to the rural surroundings, you can reach numerous villages, towns and cities easily from the house. The closest village with a range of restaurants is just 3km away. A wider range of amenities, shops, eateries, and historic and cultural attractions can be discovered in the town of Alba, which is 18km away, and the wine city of Asti which is 32km away.
What you should know…
- One of the ground floor’s bedrooms is designed to be accessible for those with disabilities.
- Many of the bedrooms in the villa can be set up with double beds or twin beds, making this a flexible space which can be changed to suit the needs of your group.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa MonteuPiedmont is a truly beautiful region in the North of Italy which is a must-visit location for nature lovers and foodies alike. With stunning countryside, historic towns and a highly-regarded wine region on your doorstep, Villa Monteu is perfectly set for getting to know this unspoilt area.
The villa sits within a patchwork of fields and vineyards, close to a small village called Monteu Roero. Just minutes from the home, guests can access country lanes and hiking routes or take picnics with the scenic landscape. If you want to explore further, you can book bike tours, truffle hunting walks or even hot air balloon rides through the home owners. Horse riding, tennis and golf are also available within 20km of the villa, meaning lovers of the outdoors and sporting pursuits will be kept busy. As this area is known for its wine-making, you will also find vineyards and wineries dotted around the nearby hills. One fantastic wine estate you could visit is Battaglio which is 12km away, in the heart of Roero, famous for its wines and truffles. At the vineyard, you can sample the amazing wines and take a tour of the cellars and the grounds, which include the ruins of a medieval castle.
The local village offers a few lovely restaurants and bars, which are handy to have so close. When you need a more extensive range of amenities and eateries, you can visit plenty more villages, towns and lively cities within driving distance of the home.
The town of Alba is just 18km away and is a town which is known as the gourmet capital of Piedmont due in part to the delightful white truffles which are found in this area. Make sure you are hungry when you get to Alba, as the town has some spectacular cafes and restaurants serving truffles, rabbit, polenta and local wines, amongst many other things. If you are a Nutella or Ferrero Rocher fan, you will be happy to learn that the chocolate products are made here in Alba! Aside from gastronomy, there is lots more to see and do in Alba. Stroll around the historic streets and squares to find Roman gates, Medieval towers, ancient churches and the imposing Duomo di Alba cathedral.
From your base at Villa Monteu, you can also drive to the splendid wine city of Asti, which is 32km away or the Piedmontese capital of Turin, which is 48km away by car and is a city packed with museums and galleries.

The delicious cuisine, charming villages and wide-open natural spaces make this an ideal place for a holiday with children, and plenty keeps everyone happy and entertained.

We couldn't have asked for more.
Thanks a lot for a nice stay! We loved the house, so spacious and beautiful. We were a large group which was perfect, we all had our own rooms and bathrooms. Nice area with a few good restaurants within walking distance. We got to explore Piemonte by car, through beautiful landscape. The communication with the owners was great, they were always quick in their replies, always positive and helpful. We couldn't have asked for more.
Would recommend this house to anyone if you are looking for a nice and quiet area. Chilling by the pool on hot days was perfect! We stayed most evenings by the house cooking ourselves and grilling outside. Well equipped kitchen and super dining area outside, and inside. The house has all you need! Thanks for making our holiday such a memorable one. -
Great house!
Great house, just like the pictures or better! Peaceful environment. We were there during winter and enjoyed our family time in the house, lots of common spaces to share time together, but the rooms are well distributed to also offer some privacy when needed. The bedrooms are extremely comfortable and well-equipped, each one with its own bathroom! Cute towns and great restaurants in close proximity. Highly recommend this home for large groups! The communication was easy and we got great recommendations to enjoy good food and wine from the region!
