VILLA WITH LUXURY POOL SURROUNDED BY VINEYARDS. The charming rustic look of the house has been important for us to persevere. The old brick walls and terracotta roof are symbolic of the local building style in Piemonte. The outside dining space under the pergola can accommodate 16 people. Enjoy your meals with great views over the pool and the blissful surroundings. On each side of the house your eyes can rest on the vineyards and hazelnut groves. In the evenings beautifully lit pergolas and pool create a great atmosphere. The pool is the ultimate in privacy and seclusion and the water offers a refreshing escape from the hot sun. Kickstart your day with a morning swim before sitting down with an espresso. Enjoy lazy days by the pool reading a book or your new magazines. With no nearby neighbors you can feel free to enjoy your favorite lounge music on the outdoor speakers, powered by a Sonos Amp and full outdoor Wi-Fi coverage for your convenience. You will find 8 sunbeds and a big collection of luxury towels for everyone. Wrap up your day with an aperitif in the poolside lounge located in the lush garden with roses and lavender.

ABOUT THE HOST. My name is Kent and I live in Oslo with my family. We simply love the Norwegian wintertime and we spend most weekends either downhill skiing, ski touring or cross-country skiing. The long-term passion for the Italian lifestyle brought us to Villa La Mura. This is where we love to spend the summertime with friends and family. The combination of a secluded patio and pool with the proximity to the nearby villages is just perfect for us. We really can’t imagine a better place for some quality slow-life.

IN THE HEART OF AN UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE. The house is placed between the historical towns of Alba and Asti. Surrounded by cultural landscape with vineyards all around. On top of the hills you find lovely villages with castles and churches. This magnificent scenery of the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato became an UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014. We often pop over to Costigliole d’Asti to visit the butcher or get some fresh bread from the bakery. The small town revolves around the large castle. Neive is in our opinion one of the most beautiful old towns in Italy. The small cobblestone streets take you through the center with magnificent views in all directions. There are two large churches and several restaurants and enotecas for gastronomic delights. Alba has the highest concentration of Michelin star restaurants in Italy, and you should check out the world-famous white truffles in the autumn. For wine lovers a trip to Barolo is a must. Set amongst the vineyards of Nebbiolo grapes, it is a perfect village for wine-tasting and a trip to the Wine Museum of Barolo.
