Piedmonte at its best.

Mariangela’s lovely home became our home away from home quickly and easily. It was warm, inviting and so peaceful. The perfect final leg of our trip. The community of Castino was delightful. The people were friendly and welcoming. We were the only strangers in town yet we felt right at home. The apartment was clean and well appointed. And Roberta was delightful, greeted us warmly, and helped us with our every need. Mariangela and Roberta communicated with us promptly when we had questions or needs. Thank you so much for a delightful week.We look forward to returning.

Home base

Great property in a cute village! Easy access to vineyards and Alba. We spent three weeks, using this as our home away from home. It was the perfect place to relax (it was so quiet!) and the garden was fantastic! The location in Alta Lange was perfect. It was rather warm in Alba, but perfect when we went “home”. Roberta and Mariangela were amazing hosts, and a pleasure to work with!

Sweet Stay at Hibiscus of Gautier

Mariangela and Roberta are wonderful hosts of this adorable, well stocked apartment. We spent six nights here and enjoyed the beautiful garden and all it offered, including the BBQ! Morning coffees on the balcony before we ventured out to explore the area are one of our favourite memories of our time in Castino.

An absolute gem!

Wonderfully restored property in old part of Castino…. Beautifully presented with everything that you need to stay for 1 day to many more! Added bonus of a secret garden for your personal use with table & chairs plus sun loungers. Communication with the owners was perfect and they were very helpful on places to visit & eat in the area. Spent 3 nights here , walking and visiting the truffle festival in Alba (worth a visit if on!) . We can definitely recommend this property and hope to be back as there is so much to see and do in the area! Thank you so much!

Wonderful stay in historic apartment with magical garden

Situated in a quiet medieval village, this cozy, comfortable place offered us a much needed respite. Everything you need and more was provided by our kind, thoughtful hosts. We asked for tour suggestions, which they promptly provided; information and recommendations were perfect for us. We were met with a warm greeting and given a quick tour of the place. All was perfect and we will back if ever in the region again. Highly recommend! Thank you Roberta and Mariangela for sharing your place and for such warm hospitality.

Enchanting Paradise

Our family of 3 (2 adults and 17 YO son), stayed in this beautiful little house mid-July for 2 nights. The house is thoughtfully and beautifully renovated and located on a quiet street in a beautiful little village that is a perfect jumping off point for exploring this area. The backyard is a paradise of tranquility and beauty. The owners were the warmest, most charming people you could imagine. We definitely hope to be back one day. Thank you for such a lovely stay and for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Een zeer typische karaktervolle woning met gesloten tuin gelegen in de Langhestreek van Piëmonte, liefdevol onderhouden door 2 zussen. Op 30 km van de middeleeuwse provinciehoofdstad Alba, burchten en kerkjes, met wijnranken glooiende hellingen; terecht beschermd Unesco-landschap. In Castino op 100 meter van de 'casa' een 'vriendelijke kruidenierszaak inclusief brood'. Zeer vriendelijke charmante uitbaatsters en toffe bewoners. Naast Alba prachtige pittoreske oude dorpen in de valleien (de 'Langhe-valle') en hoger op de hellingen (de 'alta Langhe) zoals Neive, Mango, Barbaresco, Monteforte d'Alba, Sinio, Diano di Alba, Serralunga Valle, Grinzane Cavour, Bossolasco, Murazzano, Roddi én natuurlijk Barolo met zijn typische wijnen én museumwijnkasteel in de middeleeuwen eigendom van de rijke en machtige familie Faletti. Met andere woorden: tijd te kort om je bezoekdoelen rond te krijgen. Een auto is wel nodig. Ook ideaal voor gepassioneerde fietsers !

Wir waren das zweite Mal zu Gast bei Mariangela und Roberta in ihrer Ferienwohnung Hibiskus von Gautier.Wieder wurden wir herzlichst empfangen, und in der Wohnung fanden wir alles vor, was man für ein erstes leckeres Essen benötigt. Danke dafür!Alle Räume sind gemütlich eingerichtet und super sauber, die Küche sehr gut ausgestattet. Und das große Bett lädt zum Träumen ein. Bleibt noch der schöne Garten zu erwähnen, der mit viel Liebe gepflegt wird.Das Dorfleben in Castino hat uns sofort wieder begeistert, besonders das lebendige Treiben in der Bar und die beiden freundlichen Damen im Alimentari. Auch wenn man kaum italienisch spricht.Ein herzliches Dankeschön an unsere beiden Gastgeberinnen.

Très agréable

La maison est très conviviale. Quand on est arrivé, elle était chauffée, ce qui est très appréciable. Roberta, nous a donné des adresses pour dîner, sortir. Le jardin est agréable, l'accueil est chaleureux. La maison est très propre, il y a tout ce qu'il faut pour cuisiner, elle est très fonctionnelle !! Il y a un plaid dans l'armoire en cas de besoin, mais il fait très bon (nul besoin). En revanche, mon mari est grand (1m88), le lit était juste pour lui, une personne plus grande aurait du mal à dormir. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter. Nous recommandons les yeux fermés.

Zauberhaftes Dorfhaus

Erst einmal vielen Dank an die Gastgeberin Mariangela. Mariangela ist sehr herzlich und hat uns sogar mit Leckereien versorgt. Die Unterkunft ist urig gemütlich für 2 Personen. Kleiner Kritikpunkt: Für uns fehlten bequeme Sitzgelegenheiten ( statt Sofa z.B. 2 Sessel ). In der Küche ist alles vorhanden, was man für einen Urlaubsaufenthalt benötigt. Das Schlafzimmer hat sehr gute Matratzen und wir haben auch, Dank der Ruhe, sehr gut geschlafen. Der Ort strahlt Gemütlichkeit aus und die kleine Trattoria del Peso in der Nähe, ist sehr gut und bequem zu Fuß zu erreichen. Der Garten ist ein verwunschenes kleines Refugium. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können diese Unterkunft bestens empfehlen.

Idylle für 2

Sehr freundlicher Check-In durch Roberta. Wir wurden mit einem wunderschönen Blumenstrauß begrüßt, auch eine Flasche Spumante war kaltgestellt und selbst für das erste Abendessen war gesorgt - dies alles hatten wir Mariangela zu verdanken. Im Ferienhaus selbst fehlt es an nichts, alles ist sauber, schönes Bad und gute Betten. Der Garten eine Idylle, das Dorf und seine Bewohner, die wir in der Trattoria, in der Bar oder im Alimentari trafen, sind uns ans Herz gewachsen. Kleine Einschränkungen : Mückengitter wären schön und etwas bequemeres Mobiliar im Garten. Für mehr als zwei Personen wäre uns das Haus allerdings zu klein.

Heiße Nächte ;-)

Wir können die Lobeshymnen zur Unterkunft und den sehr freundlichen Vermietern nur zustimmen. Jedoch hätten wir auch Verbesserungsvorschläge und Anregungen. Wer wie wir im August seinen Urlaub im schönen Castino verbringt muss mit großer Hitze und Stechmücken rechnen. Leider hat die Unterkunft weder Klimaanlage noch Fliegenschutzgitter an den Fenstern. Das führte für uns zu schlaflosen Nächten. Die Zimmer erscheinen auf den Fotos größer als sie tatsächlich sind. Mehr als 2 Personen dort unterzubringen dürfte ganz schön eng werden. Für uns wäre das jedenfalls nichts. Die Einrichtung ist charmant und dem liebevollen Charme des kleinen Häuschens entsprechend. Bequem geht anders. Wir hatten zum Glück unsere Lafuma Liegen mitgebracht um im Garten entspannen zu können.

Ferien in einem schönen Dorfhaus

Das Häuschen ist ganz entzückend und für zwei Personen hervorragend ausgestattet. In dem kleinen Garten haben wir uns gerne aufgehalten. Das Dorf hat alles, um Urlauberherzen zu erfreuen: Restaurant, Alimentari, Pasta fresca und natürlich auch eine Bar. Ca. einen Kilometer vom Dorfkern entfernt kann man die ausgezeichneten Haselnüsse der Familie Scavin im Hofladen kaufen. Die Restauranttipps der Vermieterinnen waren Gold wert. Das Städtchen Alba haben wir sehr genossen. Wir können dieses Wohlfühlhaus nur weiterempfehlen. Angelika und Horst Mertmann
