| Where We Are |
- We are in the picturesque town of Roccaverano which is situated at 800 meters
above sea level. We are far from traffic, noise and polluted air yet close to
fascinating towns such as Acqui Terme with its thermal spas, fabulous shops and
elegantly restored Center. We are twenty minutes from Acqui Terme.
- We are thirty minutes from the town of Canelli noted for its underground wine
cantinas known as "the underground cathedrals". We are a little more than an
hour from the city of Alba and its truffles and a little less than an hour from Asti
and its sparkling moscato wine.
- This area of Piedmont is the land of prized wines; amongst them you will find:
Barbera Dolcetto
Barolo Nebbiolo
Barbaresco Brachetto
Asti Spumante Moscato d'Asti
Cortese Malvasia
In Spring and Summer, many of the hills and terraces of Cascina Rosso, are covered
with wildflowers of so many different shades of pink, yellow, blue, violet as well as
tiny wild and rare orchids that thrive in the pure air of this part of the world.
Our guests often compare this area to the beauty of Tuscany and its fascinating history
and art. A difference between here and Tuscany is that Roccaverano and the
surrounding towns have not yet been "discovered" by crowds of tourists. As a result,
you have the unique opportunity to experience both the beauty of the nature of
this area as well as its fascinating medieval history in a close-up and personal way.

We came to live here because we dreamed of changing our
way of life
We wanted to live in a place surrounded by the beauty of Nature, where we
could get away from polluted air and water, noise and traffic; we wanted to
work with the land and become more self-sufficient and grow organic
vegetables. Our dream included sharing such an environment, as well as our
skills and the natural healing and relaxation techniques that we have been
practicing for many years.
We discovered Roccaverano where we bought a semi-abandoned group of
houses surrounded by 12 breathtaking hectares of land. We are sharing
Cascina Rosso, our Organic Farm and Agritourism, with guests who also love
clean air and water, peace and quiet and the incredible beauty of a natural
environment.

On many of the 12 hectares that surround Cascina Rosso, you will find private
paths when you want to stroll, jog or go trekking through the woods. There are
special places when you want to meditate, contemplate or do sit-ups. There
are open meadows for when you want to lay in the sun or pack a picnic lunch
and old shade trees to relax under when you want to enjoy the pleasure of
reading a good book, or watching the clouds roll by in the clear blue sky, or
doing absolutely nothing.

Roccaverano and the nearby hill towns are picturesque jewels that offer the
visitor a warm welcome, great food, and a look back at the traditions, art,
architecture, and timeless romantic beauty of a well preserved distant past.
Here, you can enjoy peaceful walks in nature, meditate or picnic undisturbed
on fields of wildflowers while looking out at the snow-topped Alps in the
distance and marvel at the colors that cover the sky during a Piedmont
sunset . During the cool summer nights, with the milky way above you and
stars that seem as big as apples in the unpolluted sky, the gentle harmony of
nightingale birds will sing you to sleep.
