Piedmont Barolo 17th C. Villa, pool, WiFi, matlagningskurser, vinturer

En timme från Torino, fly till de bukoliska kullarna i Piemonte. Denna vackra 1600-talsstensvilla ligger på 5. 6 hektar (600 tunnland) på 600 meters höjd nära den lilla byn Bonvicino och fyra miles från Dogliani, i hjärtat av Piemonte, Italien.

Villa San Lorenzo di Bonvicino är en perfekt bas för att utforska Piemonte-regionen. Njut av att promenera genom italienska bergsstäder och vingårdar, besök de välkända städerna Monforte D’Alba och Barolo (nio och 12 mil bort). Sitt på balkongen, smutta på morgonkaffe eller njut av ett glas vin vid solnedgången medan du tittar på det robusta och frodiga gröna bergslandskapet. Under klara dagar kan du njuta av en spektakulär utsikt över Alperna.

Jag köpte och renoverade Villa San Lorenzo eftersom jag ville ge en vacker oas för semesterfirare som söker läcker mat och vin, härliga vandringar, orörda byar och njuta av en långsammare takt. Villas renovering avslutades mellan 2008 och 2013, inklusive nya badrum, gourmetkockens kitche, sängar, sängkläder, antika möbler, brittisk satellit-TV, höghastighetsinternet, VVS, elektrisk. Moderna bekvämligheter kombineras med antiken i detta århundraden gamla bondgård. Inredning kombinerar komfort i linje med stilen i regionen och bevarandet av huset. Det finns sju sovrum (fem rum med queen size-sängar, 2 rum med val av två enkelsängar eller en queen size-säng). Sex moderna badrum med badkar / dusch, ett badrum med stor glasdusch och ett toalett från kockens kök.

Villan har ett stort kockskök med 6 gasbrännare, samt ett mindre fullt utrustat kök, två bostadsområden och ett stort mat- / vardagsrum med golv till takfönster. Fastigheten erbjuder privatliv, spektakulär utsikt i en vacker lugn miljö. Perfekt för en familj eller en grupp vänner.

Jag älskar att baka bröd och pizza så vi tilllade en vedeldad traditionell tegelugn för pizza och bröd 2007. Simma i 11-meterspoolen med utsikt över Murazzano. Ät middag vid stenbordet med utsikt över bergen i Alta Langa. Njut av matlagning i det underbara kockens kök, ät utomhus eller välj från en av regionens många läckra restauranger. Lokala köket erbjuder färska regionala rätter baserade på säsongens ingredienser.

Fastigheten är helt privat, inbäddat i Alta Langa-kullarna. Bara några minuter från stan (kaféer, restauranger, shopping, film) kommer du att känna dig lugnt avskilt från denna rymliga fastighet. Välj färska fikon, äpplen, körsbär och björnbär precis utanför din ytterdörr.

Gå direkt från huset för att se hökar, krigare, finkar, sparvar, kaniner, rådjur, räv, coyoter eller köra till en av de många promenaderna i närheten. Lokala vingårdar finns i överflöd med de internationellt hyllade Barolo- och Barbaresco-vinerna.

Den närbelägna staden Alba är känd som hem för den berömda vita tryffeln. BH är stolt över att vara hjärtat i Slow Food-rörelsen. Närliggande Cherasco är känd för sin berömda choklad, liksom att erbjuda ett kulturmuseum och film retrospektiv. Ridning och simning är bara några minuter bort. Dogliani erbjuder ett urval av kaféer där du kan prova hemlagad gelati, njuta av en cappuccino eller stanna till lunch eller middag.

Besök bondens marknad i en annan lokal stad varje veckodag. Ta en promenad eller åka till Bossolasco för att prova deras berömda choklad (inklusive en mängd varma chokladdrycker) och vyer som sträcker sig över hela regionen. Du kanske vill ta en resa till den italienska rivieran nära Savona på den liguriska kusten eller till Alperna för skidåkning eller vandring, båda cirka en timmes bilresa bort. Cinque Terre, Nice och Milan ligger ungefär två timmar bort. Alla sängkläder tillhandahålls. Daglig eller veckostädning tillgänglig mot extra kostnad.

Wow (Again)!!!

This was the second time I stayed at Villa San Lorenzo (the first time was in 2012). While I LOVED it the first time, Clay has done some renovations on the whole property, inside and out of the villa structure, including adding 3-ish stunning acres of Nebbiolo vines, and one of my friends said, "Every inch of this place is so well-thought out and perfect!" That kind of sums it up, but I must add that there is a fine line between "luxurious" and "precious," and VSL hits the mark with every detail, and at every turn! As before (I have also stayed at his other property near VSL, Villa Bracchi), Clay was there for us leading up to our stay, with restaurant/winery/activity suggestions and reservations, and he even set up an incredible welcome dinner for us at the villa (which is THE way to go when you've flown and driven for close to 24 hours to begin your vacation!), prepared and served by Rosaria and Angela. For any group that loves to cook, the kitchen is a dream, and you will want for nothing, in terms of kitchen equipment!! That includes prep, cooking and serving. For wine lovers, you may marvel like we did at the ridiculous number and variety of fine wine glasses!! The bedrooms and bathrooms are all well-appointed, so clean, and as comfortable as your own...my favorite way to start my every morning was to throw open the French doors in our bedroom to the sprawling balcony looking across to the hills with a warm cup of coffee!! I'm out of space! Just do it!

A Little Slice of Piedmont Paradise

I am a repeat customer for Villa San Lorenzo, having experienced the magic of this place on a few other occasions over the years. The house itself is at once luxurious and rustic, with comfortable beds, beautiful bathrooms, a real "gourmet" kitchen, and of course the amazing pool area overlooking a stunning valley in the hills above Barolo. Our hosts, Clay and Erica, couldn't have been more helpful whether it is restaurant recommendations, wineries to visit, cooking classes, truffle hunting (in season), etc. And while there may be less expensive houses in the area, this house is totally worth it as it comes with a real "curated" and "insider" experience that makes it all extra memorable. We enjoyed cooking in a couple days, as nearby Dogliani has great stores for everything from pasta, meat, veggies, bread, etc, plus a farmer's market too. And of course, the Langhe has become a treasure trove of top restaurants, from delicious, casual Trattorias to refined and elevated white tablecloth types of places. Can't wait for my next stay at Villa San Lorenzo! And... spoiler alert. Can't wait to taste Clay and Erica's own Nebbiolo wine from the vineyard on the property (released soon!).

Amazing Week at Villa San Lorenzo

Thank you to Clay and Erika for an amazing experience at Villa San Lorenzo. My husband and I invited 14 friends and family to join us on our 30 year wedding anniversary celebration. Clay was our initial contact prior to us arriving and helped organize dinners onsite and off property as well as amazing winery visits. Every suggestion was perfect. Erika was our contact while at the villa. She made sure we had all we needed during our stay. She gave us suggestions on the area and checked in on us daily. Our entire group is already looking forward to going back! The property is spectacular! Every one of our guest had an incredible room and could not stop talking about how beautiful the grounds where. No one wanted to leave. Clay and Erika helped us plan a trip of a lifetime! We will be forever grateful. Till next time!

Amazing birthday

While quite remote on adventurous streets, this property is a piece of heaven in the Langhe. A great place to stay with friends - so comfortable you wouldn't even venture out. The pool is great and there's plenty of space. Just beware there is no aircon if it's very hot outside - but it cools down pleasantly over night

Amazing Villa San Lorenzo

We stayed the second time at San Lorenzo. The surroundings are picturesque. From the terrace and pool area you have a spectacular view to the mountains and hills around - it‘s breathtaking. Imagine a beautiful summer evening with a sunset, light summer breeze, a homemade pizza from the pizza oven and a glass of wine in your hand. It‘s exactly that - pure bliss! The villa is VERY spacious. The professional kitchen is equipped with everything you need. We cooked and prepared every meal ourselves and therefore used it a lot. The fact that it has enough space for several people to prepare, cook, and do the dishes at the same time is amazing - it gives you a real „Italian Family Home“ feel. Every guest room looks different and has its own charm. It would be hard to decide which one I like the most. They are all decorated so beautifully and you immediately feel at home. You also have everything you need like shampoo, shower gel, soap, hair dryer, towels etc. The dining area and lounge area is massive! We were a large group of friends and we always had a place to seclude ourselves if we wanted to (inside and outside) There are also a great selection of games and books available. Clay is amazing! He is not only extremely responsive (over whatsapp) but super attentive to detail. He wants to offer his guests the best experience ever and he absolutely lives up to his standards!

Breathtaking Villa in the Center of Wine Country

My husband and I rented the villa for a weeklong stay to celebrate a milestone Birthday with friends. The villa is truly breathtaking which ample space, large bedrooms and attached bathrooms for each room. The kitchen is a cooks dream and the outdoor space was superb with plenty of room for lawn games, reading, pool lounging and outdoor dining. The region is spectacular and the villa is situated close to numerous adorable towns. Clay and his team were exceptional and made our stay both memorable and stress free. I cannot wait to come back!

My third visit to Villa Lorenzo - Better than ever

Not only is this located in one of the most beautiful and charming places in the world, Villa San Lorenzo is a destination in itself. I love it so much that I have brought 3 different groups of friends here to enjoy the local wine and gastronomy as well as the paradise that is this home. It's hard to believe that the pictures do not do this place justice. Each room is a suite - making a week here a bargain! The kitchen is perfection and so well stocked for groups who are all about cooking, eating and drinking. The pool is epic. Waking up the the birds chirping every morning and no other sounds is magical. It feels remote, but is so easy to get everywhere from this location. Close to Barolo, but also so convenient for discovering the Alta Langa. I can't recommend it enough!

Great Times at Villa San Lorenzo!

Our group of 14 had such a wonderful time that I can't add anything that hasn't been said before. In Villa San Lorenzo, our host Clay McLachlan has shared his passion for this stunning corner of the world, his love for its wines, food and people, and his joy in sharing that with his guests. One brief anecdote exemplifies this. He had made dinner reservations for our group at a local Michelin Guide restaurant called Guido. The reservations were inexplicably messed up by the restaurant., which declared upon our arrival that there was no record of our booking (despite having reconfirmed just the day before). Though we were in the middle of nowhere late at night with no viable dining alternatives, complete disaster was averted because the restaurant fortunately happened to be affiliated with an osteria nearby which was able to accommodate us. Clay was so mortified about this that he drove a half-hour to the osteria, checked on our well-being, apologized for the mix-up and stated that he had comped our dinner. (We were so appreciative of his generous gesture that we declined.)

Wonderful stay !

We were 7 adults and 7 kids to stay in Villa San Lorenzo during two weeks in August. The house is terrific, very convenient for large groups in the middle of a vineyard with breathtaking views and no neighborhood but close to Dogliani. Facilities are great, all rooms are different, fully equipped and well decorated. The kitchen allowed several cooking sessions for our large group. Kids enjoyed the pool. Clay and Erika have been perfect hosts and advised us on what to do in this beautiful region. We also highly recommend the pizza party. This was more than just pizza :) Would definitely stay again !

A week at the top of the world.

We were lucky enough to spend a week at Villa San Lorenza. Clay was a thorough and attentive host. He made our every wish come true. From chef dinners, to a winery visit, and truffle hunting outing. As well as a pizza night that Clay and Erica prepared, Which was our favorite of all our dinners. The villa is beautiful and accommodated 6 couples perfectly. This was the fourth trip to a villa overseas for our traveling group and in many ways I enjoyed it the most. Nine of us in our group rode bikes and Clay set up a connection to obtain and deliver the bikes directly to the villa. We all had a wonderful time and we made a new friend. Thank you Clay!!!

A hidden treasure

We spent 4 weeks in July in Villa San Lorenzo with our family and friends and we were all very happy there. The villa is very private, surrounded by woods and a vineyard, no immediate neighbours. The only noise you can hear are the sounds of nature and the bells of small churches in and around Bonvicino. The views are amazing, including towers of Murazzano, high mountains far away and starry skies above at night. Despite its quiet surroundings, the villa is actually only a short drive away from the pearls of Langhe area - Barolo vineyards, Monforte d’Alba, Sierralunga d’Alba, La Morra, Bra, Alba etc. The villa itself is rustic and modern at the same time. It is an old farmhouse, sensitively renovated to maintain the rustic character and to meet the expectations of guests who are used to modern facilities. The rooms are furnished and decorated with great sense of style. Especially noteworthy are the huge and comfy lounge on the upper floor of the main building and the baths in the bedrooms! The kitchen meets all the needs you have when cooking to a crowd of 16 people - there is enough room, the stove is huge and all the facilities you might need for cooking are there. The pizza oven is a bonus - we tried it out and had the best pizza ever! The pool outside is wonderful, big and deep enough to enjoy, cleaned regularly. The garden offers fresh herbs for cooking and a beautiful sight. The hosts, Clay and Erica are just amazing - helpful, attentive and ready to offer solutions to any practical issues. Clay’s pizza-making skills guarantee an exceptional experience! Also, his knowledge of local food, wines and sights is extremely helpful. We would highly recommend the property to those who appreciate privacy and enjoy being in the middle of nature. The large property gives a perfect possibility to stay with a large family or a group of friends.

Paradise in the Italian Countryside

This is a lovely property. It is even more beautiful than the website pictures. The owner arranged for everything, including a pizza feast, wine storytelling and wine tasting. The cook's kitchen had everything you could ever need. We had a quiet and relaxing stay. There was something for everyone here - our kids loved the pool and looking for lizards and trying out all the local gelati places. The grown ups loved the wine and food, and the picturesque setting to imbibe. I would recommend all of the activities suggested by the owner. I hope to return someday soon!

Clay’s property is perfect for large groups. We were 5 couples of friends coming to Piedmont’s to eat and drink good wine and we were not disappointed. We also had our bicycles and we got our good shares of hills, the location of the house is perfect to leave on day trips and tour around Barolo’s many villages. Clay was very helpful if we had any questions or needed any recommandations. I can say without a doubt that we will be back to Clay’s house in the future. Thank you Clay!

Fantastic hosts, stunning property (even better than the photos).

Our hosts could not have been more accommodating, after a very delayed flight travelling with small children we’d missed our restaurant reservation. Clay and Erica could not have been more amazing. They went into the town, brought back food and cooked for us!!! Unreal! The property is heavenly, perched on a hilltop overlooking a hill town in Piedmont. The accommodation is stylish, sumptuous - faultless!

Beautiful and comfortable

The villa is beautiful and comfortable. We were there in Nov, but I imagine it would be even better at times when you can use the outdoors. The bedrooms are separated in different areas making it ideal for several families. Kitchen is equipped for cooking classes, and has everything a chef could ask for. Beds are comfortable with high end sheets. Wifi is better than most. Owner is extremely helpful and responsive. He organized a fun truffle hunt for us, and gave multiple recommendations that enhanced out overall stay immensely. Highly recommend!

Absolutely wonderful

The property is first class. Beautiful rooms and facilities especially the kitchen. Clay the owner was extrmely helpful and recommended things to see and do which we would have never been able to do without his expert local knowledge. His recomendations for wine tasting and restaurants was always spot on. He is well known locally and so we had a genuinely warm reception everywhere. The truffle hunt was great fun and we found two truffles which we enjoyed with our dinner.If you are booking San Lorenzo take advantage of his local knowlede in all things related to wine and food. You wont go wrong. I would highly recommend this place. No caveats.

We were dazzled to say the least.....

Our experience at Villa San Lorenzo di Bonvicino was extraordinary in different ways, the aggragate of which I rate as the best villa rental experiences I’ve had in 15 trips to Italy spanning 28 years. As the organizer for the gathering of 4 couples for a one week and our first stay in the Piedmonte region, my goals were to achieve the following: 1) Become intimate with the food & wine of the region; 2) Gain insight to the region’s history; 3) Understand why the Borolo wine & region is so special; 4) Find a villa that was comfortably spacious with excellent cooking facilities and 5) Arrange for 2 cooking lessons focused on preparing dishes special to the Piedmonte Region that would provide “takeaways” to add to dishes I like to prepare at home. Each of the 5 Stars awarded with this review is well deserved for exceeding expectations in each of the five goals outlined above. All of this would not have been possible without the welcome and active engagement of our host Clay McLachlan. Simply put, Clay is magnificently plugged into the Piedemont community! His referrals to restaurants and wine merchants, etc. were spot on. I’d asked Clay if he could locate a “Storyteller” who would come in one evening for a maximum one hour presentation that would be reflective of the region. He responded amazingly with Sandro M. who provided a wonderful perspective of the history and nature of the Piedmont region as we sat around an open fire at sunset while sampling different wines and cheese. Goals 1, 2 & 3 were superbly accomplished when melding Sandro’s presentation with the knowledge and insight we gained while visiting various towns and vineyards of the region. Truly one of the highlights of our stay. The two cooking lesson experiences were special in their own way. Night #1 featured 3 fresh pasta dishes from scratch i.e. Ravioli, Tajarin and Gnochi. The session was interspersed with tastes of different wines coupled with local salami & cheeses. Most importantly night #1 provided two of the couples, who had not been to Italy, excellent “takeaways” to bring home to their family and friends. Night #2 featured Chef Marco (from Osteria Battaglino in Dogliani) showed us how to prepare amazing stuffed roasted onions (fortina cheese, sausage onion & herbs), slow roasted veal with herb & handmade mayonnaise dipping sauce, Uovo In Sfoglia (egg, pastry, fonduta cheese) and roasted rabbit on spit (prepared in kitchen’s stunning wood oven).
