Villa Moscato

About this property

Nestled on the picturesque hill of Santo Stefano Belbo, Villa Moscato welcomes you to a peaceful retreat where the charm of the past meets the comforts of modern living. This historic 18th-century residence, once owned by the noble Ravone Anfossi family, offers a unique glimpse into the region's rich history. The villa is steeped in history, with its underground cellars echoing the grand architecture of the Canelli cathedrals, a testament to its significance in the area's rural economy.  

As you step inside, you will be struck by the inviting, homely atmosphere that defines this extraordinary space. The seven distinctive bedrooms, each inspired by the works of renowned writer Cesare Pavese, offer breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and vineyards. Every room tells its own story, with antique furniture and subtle touches that reflect the authenticity of this noble residence. The collection of photographic paintings and the library, brimming with both modern and ancient volumes, encourage a deeper connection to the region's culture and the literary legacy of Pavese.  

The villa's interiors seamlessly blend historical character and contemporary elegance, and each detail is thoughtfully curated to create a sense of personalised comfort. The functional furnishings meet the highest standards, but there's nothing here that feels like a typical hotel—instead, it's as though you've stepped into a private home with a deep connection to the past.  

The outdoor spaces of Villa Moscato are equally enchanting. The estate opens to lush vineyards and woodlands, offering a serene environment for relaxation or exploration. A courtyard, a refreshing swimming pool, and a fully equipped gym provide ample opportunities to unwind. For those seeking an immersive experience, the villa's location is ideal for discovering the region's culinary delights, rich artistic heritage, and the surrounding natural beauty.   

Whether you indulge in local food and wine, practice yoga, or simply enjoy the stunning landscapes, Villa Moscato promises a memorable stay filled with relaxation and inspiration.

This unesco World Heritage Site is a haven for wine lovers, with renowned wine estates nearby producing some of Italy's best Barbaresco, Barolo, and Moscato wines.
