Wonderful tucked away old atmospheric stone house. Panoramic view. Great pool. Not much to do in the way of sightseeing, but Acqui Therme is nice and there a lots of wonderful walks to do. If you want to relax and love good food and wine (the Bennet supermarket 1o min by car has a fantastic offer of food and drinks), this is the right place to go to. Good and easy communications with the owner Ruth and the local caretaker Trevor. Only critical comments: The property would be even better with e.g. a table tennis and e.g. a complete set of badminton. Summary: We had a wonderful week!
This vacation home is absolutely perfect. A little out of the way but quiet and with a beautiful view. The decor is tasteful and the pool is great. It couldn’t be better!
You can go there with your eyes closed !! All was perfec!

Thank you Jessica, we are delighted that you and your family loved our house so much. Come again soon!
Ca’ Gione was everything we needed after a intense year. The tranquility, the wonderfull house breathing its history, the pool with the amazing view, and most of all the hearthwarming communication with the owners. It lifted us and our children. Although the temperatures were extreme, we enjoyed our week. Having lunch in the shade of the patio, watching the moon rise behind the hills from the bedroom, all the great restaurants in the area. A place to call home and return.
We had a great holiday here! This place ticks all the boxes - a beautiful quiet rural setting with great views (especially of the sun rising over the distant hills) yet only a fifteen minute walk to the nearby village of Montabone. Not much seems to happen there but that was fine by us - there’s a well-stocked and friendly village stores and deli, plus a very good restaurant ‘La Sosta’. Ruth had provided us with all the information we needed and we were met at the property by the very helpful Trevor and Jess - everything was ready for our arrival and the place was spotlessly clean. The house itself has been beautifully restored and furnished, and - provided you keep the shutters closed in the day - stays nice and cool. We had all our meals under the portico overlooking the vines and the valley below. Night time entertainment was provided by the ghiri, heard but not seen except for a couple of distant glimpses early in the morning, and we were lucky to see one rather lonely firefly - not usually still around in August! Apart from a couple of trips out, to Acqui Terme and Nizza Monferato, we were happy to do little but look at the view, dip in the pool, and have delicious meals - we really couldn’t have had a more relaxing holiday home and can highly recommend it to those looking for peace and quiet in a beautiful but under-rated part of Italy.
Wow - what a great job Ruth and Steven have done here. We enjoyed the most peaceful week ever and loved waking up looking at the beautiful vineyards in the valley everyday. The house is wonderful - has everything you need and refreshingly no TV or Wifi (if you are addicted I got 4G all through the house so no problems with checking emails etc). The bed was comfortable and the house has been renovated to a very high standard. The pool is ultra private and very refreshing in the Italian summer sun. My 11 year old decided he wanted to have a career in pool cleaning after fishing out the bugs daily! We literally cannot wait to come back here. It is wonderfully quiet. The local village is lovely - a lovely village shop and great views. We didn't eat in the village - we were very happy with the amazing produce from Bennett's super market and sitting and eating on the portico of the house every night. I would highly recommend the Piedmont Food and Wine Tour which is recommended in the house welcome book. We had an amazing day visiting 3 vineyards and tasting amazing wine. Was a fantastic day. But on the whole we were just happy staying at Ca' Giona. You will not be disappointed with this lovely house, the amazing views and the local area.
