One hour from Torino, escape into the bucolic hills of Piedmont. This beautiful 17th Century stone villa sits on 5.6 hectares (fourteen acres) at an altitude of 600 meters (2000 feet) near the small village of Bonvicino and four miles from Dogliani, in the heart of Piedmont, Italy.

Villa San Lorenzo is a unique location providing incredible views of the Italian Alps, lots of privacy, and it is the perfect base for exploring the Piemonte region.

The property is completely private, nestled in the Alta Langa hills. Just minutes from town (cafes, restaurants, shopping, cinema), you will feel peacefully secluded on this spacious property. During the Summer, guests can pick fresh tomatoes, zucchini, egg plants, figs, apples, cherries, and blackberries just outside your front door.

Enjoy walking through Italian hill towns and vineyards, visit the well-known towns of Monforte D’Alba and Barolo (nine and 12 miles away). Sit on the balcony, sipping your morning coffee or enjoying a glass of wine at sunset while gazing out at the rugged and lush green mountain landscape. On clear days, enjoy spectacular views of the Alps.

We purchased the villa in 2005 with the clear idea in mind to provide a beautiful oasis for vacationers seeking delicious food and wine, lovely hikes, authentic villages while enjoying a slower pace of life.

The villa’s renovation was completed between 2008 and 2023, including new bathrooms, a brand new gourmet chef’s kitchen and new beds, antique furnishings, air conditioning, high-speed internet, and a new pool surrounded by seasonal flowers and a vegetable garden.

Modern conveniences are combined with the antiquity of this centuries old farmhouse. Furnishings combine comfort in keeping with the style of the region and preservation of the house. There are 7 bedrooms (five bedrooms with King Size Beds, 1bedroom with a Queen Size Bed, and 1 bedroom with the choice of 2 Single Beds or 1 King Size Bed), each of the bedrooms have their own private bathroom. There are 8 modern bathrooms in total, 4 with a separate bath and shower, and 4 with only showers.

The villa includes a large chef’s kitchen with 6 gas burner stove, 1 large dining room off the kitchen with floor to ceiling windows and 1 large living room with comfortable sofas. The property offers privacy, spectacular views in a beautiful peaceful setting. Perfect for a family or a group of friends.

I love to bake bread and pizza so I added a wood-fired traditional brick oven for pizza and bread in 2007 and a brand new barbecue grill attach to the oven.

Guests are welcome to swim in the 11 x 5 meter (36 feet x 16.5 feet) swimming pool with a view of Murazzano and the Italian Alps or dine at the stone table overlooking the hills of the Alta Langa.

We are arrange cooking classes in the gorgeous chef’s kitchen, or we can help to hire a private chef who can prepare a fantastic local meal at the Villa. Local cuisine offers fresh regional dishes based on seasonal ingredients. For the evening out, we can provide guests with a selected list of the region's many delicious restaurants.

The nearby town of Alba (35 minutes) is known as the home of the famous white truffle. Bra prides itself on being the heart of the Slow Food movement. Nearby Cherasco is known for its famous chocolate, as well as offering a cultural museum and film retrospectives. Dogliani offers a choice of cafes and wine bars where you can sample homemade gelati, enjoy a cappuccino or the famous Dolcetto wine, called Dogliani like the town.

Visit the farmer’s market in a different local town each day of the week. Take a walk or drive to Bossolasco to sample their famous chocolates (including a variety of hot chocolate beverages) and views stretching over the entire region. You may want to take a trip to the Italian Riviera near Savona on the Ligurian Coast or to the Alps for skiing or hiking, both about an hour's drive away. Cinque Terre, Nice, and Milan are approximately two hours away.

All linens provided. Daily or weekly cleaning available at additional cost.
