A former farmhouse with great views!

Casa Anna is located in the lovely, quiet village of Ponzano Monferrato, and was fully renovated in 2009 preserving original details like the brick ceilings and tufo features. It is beautifully situated in the vine clad hills.

On the ground floor there’s a spacious lounge with satellite TV and wood pellets burner, a dining room with a lovely vaulted brick ceiling and a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, washing machine and a large 5-burner SMEG cooker with oven. The kitchen has a vaulted brick ceiling and an exposed “tufo” stone wall and a small cantina (wine cellar). On the first floor are three spacious bedrooms, a spacious hall and two bathrooms. The third floor currently isn’t in use but can be converted to a living space the same size as the first floor. The house is semi-detached as the back of it is connected to the neighbor’s house.

For the real sun-lovers there is a large terrace on the first floor with a panoramic view of the surrounding hills and vineyards. The courtyard and gardens are completely enclosed, and there’s a covered terrace with a dining table for “all fresco” lunches and dinners, a large storage room (or garage) and a third bathroom. To catch more of a breeze on the edge there’s a small pergola covered by an old kiwi tree. Down from the courtyard there’s a grass terrace and at a lower level some ground with a plum and apricot tree.

The house is suitable both as a permanent or as a second home, with it’s enclosed and low maintenance garden and courtyard and the carabinieri as neighbours. The complete inventory is included in the asking price, so you can move right in and start enjoying ‘la dolce vita’!

The medieval city of Moncalvo – the smallest city of Italy – is five minutes away by car. The main piazza has lovely café’s with terraces and other facilities such as banks, shops, restaurants, a weekly market on Thursdays and every first Sunday of the month an antique market. Moncalvo also has a nice public swimming pool. In the valley between Ponzano and Moncalvo – a two minutes drive away – there are three supermarkets.. Cities such as Milan, Turin and Genoa are easy to reach by car or train.

At nearby Asti (30km) – renowned for it’s “Asti Spumante” dessert wine – every Wednesday and Saturday you can stroll over the huge market, do some shopping, sit on one of the many terraces or visit the cathedral.

In Ponzano you can visit “Santuario di Crea” (a UNESCO heritage site). “Santuario di Crea” is one of the nine Sacri Monti (holy mountains) in Northern Italy. Crea is called a holy mountain because there’s a monastery with 23 separate chapels scattered over the hill, dedicated to the mysteries of the rosary. The hill and surrounding area is part of the 47-hectare nature park of the Sacro Monte di Crea. Around the monastery and chapels are many picnic spots and tables. The park also has many hiking and mountain bike routes.
