Piccolo Paradiso

We are Ton and Betty and in 2008 we bought a house in Castelnuovo Calcea . The former house has been thoroughly renovated by us and now consists of three bedrooms; three bathrooms; a modern kitchen and a large living room.

Around the house is a large terrace and a large lawn with a double swing and a sandbox. When you walk around the house you see a persimmon, a cherry tree, a fig, a cypress and a pomegranate and an old almond tree. Further down the slope we have planted a whole series of fruit trees: apple, pear, apricot, nut, almond, kiwi, peach and plum. A Chinese saying: 'If you want to be happy one night, you have to drink a bottle of wine, you want to be happy for a year, you have to get married, but if you want to be happy for a lifetime, you have to go gardening. We do it there, all three.

From the garden you have an overwhelming view of the vineyards and hills with a village on each hill. In clear weather you can see the Alps that surround Piemonte: the Swiss Alps in the north, the French Alps in the west with the mystical Monviso and the Ligurian Alps in the south between Piedmont and the Mediterranean Sea.

The Mediterranean beach is one and a half hours away; The mountains are two hours away; Turin is one hour away and in Milan you are within one and a half hours.

Piccolo Paradiso is not a house for lazy vacationers who want to lie around a swimming pool all day long. The house is the perfect starting point for a discovery tour through the region. You can also just read a book and drink a glass of wine in the large garden. And if you have green fingers you can let go in the garden; mowing grass, removing weeds, converting the compost heap and keeping the slope with the brushcutter.
A large barn has been built against the house. In the barn you will find the boiler, the geyser and the washing machine. There is also a water connection for the hose with which you can water the garden. All garden items (garden chairs, sun beds, garden table) are stored in this barn. This region (Monferrato) is known for its exquisite wines, its special dishes, its truffles, hazelnuts and chocolate.
In a radius of 10 km around the house are so many restaurants and winemakers that it is humanly impossible to visit them in a year.
