We had a great stay in this nice, period house in Mombaldone. Lots of space inside and outside, with a nice pool area which was used a lot. The house/garden has lots of potential but could do with a little freshening up. Great communication with Madeline the owner.

Very large property, fully fenced in. So great to let your dog run around freely, as long as the dog behaves well and does not climb on furniture or jump into the pool. Our dog (24kg Mioritic) enjoyed it fully. No dogs at the neighborhood property (there is only 1), so no barking. Very nice pool, big enough to do some laps (ca. 12m long). House is very large, so on days with bad weather no problem since everybody can have an own room. TV, DVD, XBox games, so never boring. Some cleanliness issue initially until we found out that the dish washer upper compartment was defective (to be repaired soon), which the guests before us did not realize, so some dirty bowls and glasses. Just washing in the lower compartment is fine, but only 50% of the dish-load then.

We spent a week in the house and can only give our best recommendations for anyone that wants a peaceful and quiet area. It’s close to Aqcui Terme (15-20 min with car), a little narrow and curved road up to Roccaverano with some good restaurants, 1 hour++ to cities like Asti, Alba, and Barolo (a must go if you are into wine). The house has a great outside area and a great pool. Volleyball in the pool was a success for both the teenagers and the adults. The house was clean and had all we needed for a pleasant stay.

We stayed from Friday to Friday and used the grill every day together with the pool. The house has everything you need. There are some wineries within 35 min. by car. and you can bike to the closest village, there is even a Lidl 20 min by car from the house. There are some nice board games in the house. Carole made a guidebooklet that helped us a lot during our stay. We also contact each other via message for help. The house was overall clean, but in some corners, we could see quite some bugs, spiders, and insects. But I think that is related to the rural area and the time of the year. The bedsheets and towels were clean and ready for us. At night it was very cold but during the day the sun could heat everything nicely.
