Casa Serena is perched on a hillside in the vineyards near Milan as well as Turin ("Torino"). It is an inviting combination of classic Italian decor with a splash of retro fun. The terrace is a serene setting for breakfast or an evening wine, and each bedroom has it's own balcony perfect for your morning coffee. We love having visitors from around the world to enjoy a bit of 'la dolce vita'. If you are a seasoned traveler or new to Europe, we will do all we can to make your stay marvelous in our special corner of Italy... the Monferrato Region.
Hospitality is our priority, as part of your stay with us we will provide you breakfast each morning as well as a bottle of local wine in the evening. Celebrations and special requests are our favorite, please do not hesitate to ask. Casa Serena offers the right balance of privacy with service. A host will be downstairs and will provide you breakfast, fulfill special requests and answer questions about the area...otherwise will remain out of sight. Holiday with no worries.
In addition to the two large bedrooms elegantly furnished each including a private balcony, we have a small room with a twin bed for a child/single. Two people per room, however, if you are two persons and wish to reserve both bedrooms, please enter 3 guests to ensure both rooms are booked. Additionally, you are also welcomed to enjoy the large salon that opens onto the terrace to read a book, take in the view or maybe put a puzzle together.
Solonghello is a tiny village nestled on a hillside capitalizing on a gorgeous view and boasts it own castle. There are bakeries, coffee bars and restaurants scattered around the Monferrato area just waiting to be explored. If you would like to stay in one evening we can also offer an Italian dinner right at the villa. We have considerable information about local sights, wineries and restaurants for you to use while onsite. The host will gladly make suggestions as well as call in reservations for your group.
