Sometimes you want your holidays to be all about peace, quiet, and relaxation. This is the perfect home for that, far away from touristy hotspots, in a quiet rural location in Piedmont. You can live as the locals do here, and embrace the slower pace of life. This lovely home can be found just outside of Cortazzone, on a sunny hilltop. Drive five minutes into town to meander through the streets and grab a coffee in a cafe. Watch the world go by before picking up local produce for dinner and heading back to your home from home. Cook up a feast in the kitchen and dine together, then take a bottle of red out to the terrace. Sip wine as you watch the sun set over the meadows and vineyards that surround the home. If it turns chilly, move inside to sit by the fireplace – this is a home for simple pleasures. Though you’re nicely tucked away from the hustle and bustle here, you’re not too far from the action. Turin is just a fifty-six-minute drive away, so you can easily get your fix of city life. Make a day of it, and spend your time strolling along the boulevards lined with baroque buildings, admiring the architecture, and sampling some of the world-famous cuisine.
