Calamandrana, Asti (province)

Romantic cottage with a Provencal soul
In the most authentic heart of Monferrato, among the silent hills of Calamandrana Alta, lies the romantic cottage with a rare charm, immersed in unspoiled nature where time seems to slow down and every detail invites you to breathe peace and quiet. The outdoor spaces evoke all the poetry of Provence: porches wrapped in the scent of lavender, wisteria and ancient roses, lovingly cared for green corners that seem to have come from a fairytale, shaded paths and poetic glimpses in which to be lulled by the music of the countryside. Here, every porch and every pergola become refuges for the soul, places to be lived slowly between a reading and the chirping of birds. The interiors instead tell the warmth of American country and the rustic elegance of English homes between lived woods, welcoming atmospheres, suggestive details and environments that immediately convey the sense of home. Each room holds a unique character made of soft light, natural materials and timeless harmony. The cottage, which is spread over two floors above ground and a basement, is divided into two connected units on both levels. The ground floor offers the country-style English kitchen, the dining room with the old wood-burning putagé, the welcoming living room with the indispensable fireplace, and the courtesy bathroom with an American flavor; on the first floor, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, including the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom. In the west wing with independent entrance, the ground floor offers a charming rustic kitchen, while on the first floor there are three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a functional laundry room. Each room is different from the others and wonderfully evocative, a kind of journey around the country world, thanks to the aesthetic sense, culture and sensitivity of the owners who restored and furnished it with all their love. Making the property even more magical are many splendid outbuildings: the delightful treehouse hidden in the greenery, the ice house that evokes the ancient habits of our great-grandparents, an authentic hypogeum carved under the panoramic external terrace, the wood-burning oven for summer dinners and the perfectly preserved cellar, which seems to have come from the pages of a book on the Monferrato countryside. Last but not least, the spectacular panoramic terrace on the front part of the house with breathtaking views of the countryside and the Valle Belbo. The property is completed by the double garage, the parking space for three cars, and the boiler room with an attached service room. A unique, poetic and emotional place where nature, beauty and memory meet creating an atmosphere impossible to forget.
