👋 Ciao amici! Happy Tuesday and welcome to all the new subscribers! WOW. I’m so happy you are here.

This week, we’re heading north—to a region that doesn’t always get the spotlight but absolutely deserves it: Piedmont. Nestled at the foot of the Alps and bordering France and Switzerland, Piedmont is a dream for anyone seeking sophistication, natural beauty, and the slower rhythms of authentic Italian living. I think many are searching for this very thing!

What makes Piedmont so special?

  • Wine lovers, rejoice—this is Barolo and Barbaresco country. The Langhe hills are lined with vineyards, charming stone villages, and Michelin-star restaurants.

  • Elegant towns like Turin (think Paris-meets-Milan), Asti, and Alba combine history with modern flair—perfect for those who want culture and calm. (Sign me up!)

  • A four-season lifestyle: Alpine skiing in winter, hiking and truffle hunting in fall, wine festivals in spring, and lakeside escapes in summer.

  • Property perks: Gorgeous farmhouses, historic villas, and affordable countryside homes—often with stunning views of rolling hills and snow-capped mountains.

If you're dreaming of a quieter, more refined slice of Italy—without the heavy price tag—Piedmont may just steal your heart. 💕

I’ve curated a few standout homes from the region this week. Whether you’re imagining yourself sipping Barolo on your future terrace or investing in a place with long-term rental appeal, these listings are full of potential.

Let’s go house hunting! Grab your favorite wine or a cup of coffee (depending on when you see this) and enjoy!

Andiamo! 👇
