Nestled at the foot of the Monferrato hills, Borgo Ramezzana is 1 hour's drive from Turin. This historic farmhouse with outdoor swimming pool was totally renovated using eco-friendly techniques. The Country House offers elegant rooms with tiled floors and flat-screen satellite TV. Each room provides a private bathroom with bathrobe and slippers, and all feature a balcony with pool or Monferrato hill views. Breakfast is served in the restaurant of Borgo Ramezzana Country House, which specializes in local dishes. All meals are prepared from ingredients grown on the estate. The original building features a corner tower that dates back to the 12th century. Interiors boast vaulted ceilings, wooden beams, terracotta floors, and stone stairs. The energy to run the property is made using geothermal heat, biomasses, and solar panels. The swimming pool is surrounded by a sun terrace with loungers and parasols. Guests can book massages and beauty treatments at reception. The Borgo lies 0.6 mi outside Trino National Park, a popular site for horse-riding and trekking.
