Le Langhe Oltre La Siepe 8

Le Langhe oltre la Siepe (The Langhe beyond the Hedge)is the name of this unusual villa and it is also the best description of it: from whichever part you look, a unique, unmistakable hilly landscape stretches as far as the eye can see. Set in the hills of the Langhe, the villa is a magnificent balcony overlooking the panorama and the old borgo of Neive, which is 3 km away. Originally an old “ciabot” (a rural building characteristic of the Piedmontese vineyards), it was totally renovated in contemporary style in 2019 and today is equipped with the most modern technology and refined furnishings. A double-height living area, of considerable visual impact, contains a very large dining area and kitchen with island, a fireplace and an upright piano, while outside is the garden and swimming pool. The villa has three double bedrooms on the first floor, as well as an independent studio flat on the lower floor overlooking the pool. The wonderful swimming pool has sun throughout the day and is bounded by a high cypress hedge that provides full privacy but which, due to its particularity, allows you to enjoy a unique view. Neive, a town of great charm, elected as one of the most beautiful borghi in Italy, is included in the Unesco Site “Piedmont Vinicultural Landscape: Langhe-Roero and Monferrato” and is located along the “Romantic Road of the Langhe and Roero”. Numerous walking or cycling routes depart from it for many kilometres. There are innumerable wine cellars producing Barbaresco, Dolcetto, Moscato and Barbera wines, which can be tasted in many picturesque wine bars and wineries. All those who come to this region attracted by great wines, truffles, famous recipes and unforgettable flavours will also be enthralled by this rural landscape of recognized cultural value.

Park:
The garden is accessed from both the lower floor, through the numerous French windows from the dining area and from the independent studio flat, and from the balcony on the ground floor via the wisteria-covered iron staircase, and also from the vehicle entrance, defined by a gate, which branches off from the municipal road below the villa, 50 metres from the property. From this entrance, those with mobility difficulties can more easily access the property. The 400 sq m garden contains low plants like hydrangeas and is divided into three terraces that create small peaceful corners, while tall trees border the south-west part of the garden.Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.
