Set in a medieval village in the Monferrato area, this historic residence has recently been renovated with great care, preserving and enhancing its strong architectural character.The house is arranged over several levels. The first floor accommodates the main living area, comprising a spacious living room, a kitchen with island and convivial dining area, a large veranda, one bathroom and two bedrooms. On the ground floor there are four bedrooms and four bathrooms, as well as a laundry room and service areas.The basement features a large cellar with original exposed-brick vaulted ceilings, further distinguished by two atmospheric tunnels carved into the tuff rock and a window overlooking the impressive medieval defensive walls, which once enclosed the oldest part of the village. The spacious attic, currently unused, offers the potential to create additional living or leisure areas.One of the most distinctive features of the property is the exposed-brick loggia, built above the medieval retaining wall and arranged over two levels, with a succession of large arches. The generous covered terraces can be accessed on the ground floor from the garden with swimming pool and from several bedrooms, while on the upper floor they connect directly with the kitchen and living room, creating a natural continuity between the interior and outdoor spaces and offering charming views over the village and the rolling hills of Monferrato.The renovation has carefully preserved and enhanced many of the property's original features, including exposed-brick walls, historic terracotta and wooden floors, vaulted rooms, reclaimed timber beams, the stone staircase with wrought-iron balustrade connecting the ground and first floors, the staircase leading down to the cellars, and a fine trompe-l'śil fresco. The works also included a redistribution of the interior spaces, the installation of new building systems and services, and new double-glazed windows and doors.The garden, set between the house and the top of the imposing medieval wall, features an in-ground swimming pool, sensitively integrated into its historic surroundings and enhanced in the evening by dedicated lighting.Thanks to the extensive restoration works, the property has the considerable advantage of being immediately ready for use while retaining a remarkable sense of character and individuality, making it ideal for those seeking an authentic historic residence.The property is accessible from the paved street running through the historic centre. Opposite the main residence is a private courtyard belonging to the property, providing private parking, together with a separate exposed-brick outbuilding. This attractive two-storey rustic building, which has already had its roof completely restored, is currently unused and could be converted into additional accommodation to create an independent guest house or annexe.
SITEWe are in the peaceful setting of southern Piedmont. The property is located approximately 20 km from the Alessandria Sud motorway exit and 17 km from the Felizzano exit, around 30 minutes from Asti and just over an hour’s drive from Turin. It is situated in the oldest part of Incisa Scapaccino, in the hamlet of Borgo Villa, set on the top of a hill, and lies within the Piedmont area included on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2014. Incisa Scapaccino is a well-served village, with schools, a bank, post office, pharmacy, supermarket and a number of other small shops and local businesses. Just 4 km away lies Nizza Monferrato, a charming small town well known among visitors for its open-air markets, particularly the weekly Friday market selling food, household goods and gardening products, and the monthly antiques market, held on the third Sunday of every month in the main square. Around 15 km away is Canelli, a town closely associated with wine production and famous for its historic wine cellars, known as the “Underground Cathedrals”. The gentle rolling hills of the area provide an ideal setting for a peaceful lifestyle, as well as for enjoyable walks and cycling routes.
