Villa Asti Is Almost Ready .. A status
The infinity pool is filled and most things are ready. The six bedrooms are made up, the kitchen is ready, and on a clear evening the view (above the clouds) from the terrace is everything we hoped it would be when we started this.
Thank you to all the local people who made this house beautiful and helped on the way. We are truly blessed.
Villa Asti is, for all practical purposes, 99% ready.
What remains — and we say this with bit of excitement and impatience that comes from being very nearly finished — is the last few 5-ish percent. The details that take disproportionate time and thought precisely because they matter: the right outdoor furniture for the lower terrace (provided by Bo-tikken Interior) , a few pieces of art that need to find their walls, lighting decisions that only become obvious once you have spent a few evenings watching where the shadows fall.
And the garden. 🌳
The garden is its own project, created by Silvia, and one we are approaching with the seriousness it deserves. The land around the villa is beautiful in a way that is largely the work of the Alta Langa itself — the hill, the view, the way the light moves across the valley — but a considered garden will make it more beautiful still. That work is underway, and we will write about it separately.

What this means for bookings
Villa Asti will be available for rental from summer 2026. The house itself is complete and immaculate. The grounds are presentable and becoming more so. By the time the first guests arrive, the garden will be well on its way.
We have deliberately kept the first season unhurried. A small number of weeks are available between June and September. If you are considering a group trip to Piemonte this summer — twelve guests, six bedrooms, an infinity pool overlooking the Alta Langa hills — this is a good moment to get in touch.
The last ten percent always takes the longest. We are nearly there.
