Description from owner
Description
The Professor's Home is located just outside Roatto d'Asti, a little village in the heart of Lower Monferrato, Piedmont, Italy. It was our family house for over a century; now we rent it out as temporary residence to guests looking for a viable and cheap alternative to hotels and B&B.
We can accommodate up to eleven people in 2100 sq ft, and we rent for one to four weeks.
The Professor's Home was built on top of a hill by our great grandfather between 1890 and 1920; it is a traditional Piedmontese farmhouse, which was refurbished and modernized over the years without overlooking the distinctive traits of country life: the hayloft, the big shed for the tools at the back, the large pavement for agricultural work at the front. The house is surrounded by a partially fenced 2.4 acres private property.
The thick brick walls keep the house cool even in the hottest summers, making air conditioning unnecessary; during the winter we use central heating and two fireplaces, one in the kitchen and one in the living room, finally you can use the wood-burning stove for heating as well as for cooking.
The house rests on a large cellar, that hosts our tiny wine production; many rooms are large, each of them measuring about 300 sq ft, with vintage furniture and windows screens.
Downstairs there is the living room, whose floor dates from the early twentieth century, with a fireplace, a Petrof upright piano and a vaulted ceiling featuring floral decorations; the kitchen, with a wood-burning stove and another fireplace; from the kitchen there is also the access area to the main bathroom, where the washing machine stands. The TV set with satellite dish and decoder is in the kitchen; it comes complete with a DVD/DivX player and a cassette recorder.
Upstairs there are a second bathroom and four bedrooms, two facing south and two facing north. Each of them sleeps two to four people.

“A Delightful Holiday in Piedmont”
This charming house in the village of Roatto provided a delightful week's holiday for us. The property, dating from the end of the 19th century, was full of charm and character and has been beautifully maintained by the owner. Our stay was very comfortable as the house is well furnished. The garden, with many fruit trees, vegetables and vines provided a perfect backdrop. The owner was very helpful; providing an extremely useful booklet to assist us during our stay. There were good walks in Roatto and a small shop. There is also an excellent wine maker in Roatto, Domenico Capello at La Montagnetta, who should be visited. Asti should be visited as should Turin.
