It seems the 'quiet money' of Piemonte comes out to play on Sundays, and to a bar in Nizza Monferrato of all places. Also, the tradition of the "passeggiata" is alive and well, and what a pleasure it is.

It's the simple things and the recognition that make everything worthwhile. 🙃

Away from traffic and completely private,Villa Menaluna is an idyllic country house tucked into a quiet hillside in the UNESCO region of Piedmont.

The forecasted week of rain never showed up - instead, we’ve been treated to gloriously sunny days and golden early evenings. Tonight, Nizza Monferrato was absolutely buzzing with the annual festival. It was such a joy to see the historic streets alive with families and friends, all soaking in the atmosphere with street food, live music, and, of course, plenty of wine!

I took a little detour on the way back—just a short drive from Villa Menaluna—and was rewarded with yet another breathtaking view near the incredible . Even the simplest errands, like picking up a pizza from Cascina Vecchia Ristorante Pizzeria Camere, feel magical when this is your drive home. ❤️

Doing final checks at Villa Menaluna this evening ahead of guests arriving this week. Always lovely to drive back to our new home in Mombaruzzo with the sunset seeing me off 😌

Rocchetta Palafea really does look beautiful at dusk. If you’re staying at the house this year make sure you take a walk up to the tower and enjoy the sunset views.

Villa Menaluna is at the end of a secluded winding track lined with tall trees and greenery, making your arrival always that little bit special. You really do feel like you're entering a secret world saved just for you😊

At this time of year the trees are bare but the first signs of spring are starting to appear with the arrival of a million butter-yellow primroses dotting the hillsides like delicate jewels. Almost impossible to capture in a photograph - you need to seem them first-hand.

It always reminds of the diamond mine in Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs as the tiny blooms twinkle in the sunlight amongst the bare brown earth and winter-beaten foliage.

Despite the cold when it comes, I never get bored seeing the outline of our village silhouetted against the snow-capped Alps in the distance.

We want Villa Menaluna to feel instantly comfortable to our guests, as if returning to the home of a favourite friend or relative. So we've done our best to shun mass-produced items and instead you’ll find an eclectic mix of vintage furniture and up-cycled pieces alongside practical modern conveniences to make your stay comfortable and easy.

In keeping with our ethos, over the years we’ve gathered interesting items from the many excellent antique markets across Piedmont and southern France, and included family furnishings from our own former homes in the Cotswolds and London, many of which have been in our family for over 100 years. All possibly of no huge monetary value to anyone, but of great sentimental importance to us, and it’s so warming to know that these pieces are again being enjoyed in a new house, with a new life ahead of them.
