Villa in Alba: Bonvicino

Clay
Now that we are getting ready to leave Bonvicino tomorrow to go back home, I wanted to let you know that we had a great time here. My family very much enjoyed the lovely villa, the pool and the magnificent views on the surrounding hills.
I also want to let you know that Claudio did a great job in advising us on things to see and do, places to eat, wineries etc. He was a great and sympathetic help to us.
Best regards
Frank

We stayed at San Lorenzo last week of august. That week we had no neighbors in other rooms so we had the whole compound for us. Everything was really OK, the selfcoocking kitchen, large flatscreen TV, internet, well equiped bathroom and bedrooms, fully equiped laundry.
This is a great place, to just relax and enjoy the beautiful weather. Nearby Dogliani is a typical Italian town, not yet spoiled by mass tourism, and offering all modern comfort. The best wine region of Italy (with the famous Barolo and Barbaresco wines, and the capital of the white truffel) are only a few km away. Not a surprise that slow food was invented here
If you are looking for a charming, relaxing stay, looking for good food and start your local search for italy's best wines. The region is also a challenge for sportive mountainbikers and cyclists.
A car is required to get around
Closeby Turin is worth a visit, and you're only one hour drive from the spectacular ligurian cost.

The key word I would use to describe our stay is 'Familiarity'. Already, once you arrive, you feel that you are at home (and not just a holiday rental). Everything you need is provided for in more than just a minimal level. Clay and Tamar know the area so well that you start to understand the pace of life, and what makes this area tick. They showed us great places to eat and introduced us to interesting people. By the end of the stay, we felt like it was our home. This is when you want to return because it feels so familiar.
