Sleeping beneath hand-painted frescoes in a canopied four-poster bed, in a 16th-century villa once home to the Viceroy of Sardinia, is a fairly hard act to follow – yet this villa keeps delivering. Original vaulted ceilings, ornamental fireplaces, and inlaid floors speak to centuries of careful stewardship, while air-conditioned bedrooms and two kitchens mean comfort is never in question. Outside, a walled garden with a private pool, jasmine-covered pergola, and a wood oven for alfresco evenings sits in the Monferrato hills of Piedmont – one of Italy's most quietly beautiful corners.

Home truths
The villa has two flights of stairs between the ground and first floors with no lift, so you'll be navigating stairs regularly across the stay – particularly when moving between the sleeping and living areas.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair. Ask in advance to make sure everything is set up on arrival.
For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground floor bedroom and bathroom here.
The pool is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October, so if you're visiting outside those dates you won't be able to use it.
This is a historic home – some rooms have smaller windows as a result of the original 16th-century construction, which means certain spaces feel darker and more atmospheric than a modern villa would. It's part of the character, but worth bearing in mind if you prefer bright, airy interiors.
