The Situation: This 200 year old west-facing farmhouse is set in a peaceful, sunny location on a gentle hill and surrounded by vineyards. The property measures approximately 3000 sq m (0.75 acre) and includes a small vineyard. It is just a short drive away from the busy market town of Nizza Monferrato, a centre of the wine trade with excellent restaurants and shopping facilities, a hospital, schools etc. In the direction of Alessandria the autostrada can be reached by car in 20 minutes. The international airports of Milan, Turin and Genoa are within an hours drive away.

The house: The antique building is a brick construction with plastered exterior, and the roof is tiled traditionally "alla Marsigliese". The house is in very good condition and does not need further renovation.
