Casale dell'Acero Rosso (House of the Red Maple) is an old farmhouse that has now become a dream residence thanks to fine contemporary renovation. This splendid property is set among the rolling, vineyard-covered hills above Canelli and enjoys absolute tranquillity with a 360 degree view over the surrounding countryside. The house has four suites, two on the ground floor and two on the first floor, as well as a studio apartment with a large terrace. All these solutions offer maximum privacy as each has its own fully-equipped kitchen. On the ground floor, the large open-plan area, divided into lounge with bar corner, dining room and a beautiful Italian-style kitchen, is able to comfortably accommodate guests for convivial moments and, finally, an unexpected gem: the large gym equipped for Pilates which can be used only if accompanied by a certified instructor, to be booked and paid for. The large level garden surrounding the house includes two pergolas, a large heated infinity pool, a poolside Jacuzzi tub and a solarium area equipped with deckchairs and sunbeds, and will give you the best moments of your holiday because all around are the rolling hills with rows of fine vines: Moscato, Barbera, Dolcetto, Freisa, Cortese and Chardonnay. The house is located just three kilometres from Canelli which has been, since 2014, part of the Unesco World Heritage Site of the vineyard landscapes of Piedmont: Langhe-Roero and Monferrato, an area that boasts exceptional landscapes and, above all, a wine production of extraordinary quality and renowned tradition.
