We had a wonderful stay at Casa La Pietra. We thoroughly enjoyed the swimming pool, table tennis and fussball, visiting local vineyards, Tenuta Antica, Acqui Terme, the ice cream shop in Cassinasco and Roccaverano has amazing views.
A wonderful place for a holiday - the grandchildren loved the pool, table tennis, table football, swings and the garden. Lovely outdoor eating area with large table next to the kitchen. Everything was exceptional. Jeska recommended a local chef, Cinzia, who cooked us an excellent meal one evening . David looks after the property and he was really helpful and welcoming and solved any issue that we had.

A Fantastic Fall Trip
Our stay at La Casa Pietra was fantastic. We shared this villa with another family and it was big enough to accommodate all of us without feeling cramped. The outdoor space was lovely and it was just warm enough to use the pool on one of the days. Our children had a great time exploring the area. We visited several vineyards and David was also kind enough to find a chef for us for a few nights. I would highly recommend the chef. Her food was delicious and it was great not having to prep, cook and clean up for a large party. We will come back again. I would highly recommend this villa.

Superb well equipped family villa
We chose this villa having read another review on HomeAway. The villa was perfect for our family group keen on eating, drinking and cooking. We cooked in most evenings and found the local markets at Acqui Terms and Asti excellent to source food, the kitchen was very well equipped and David's tips (which kept coming as he got to know us) were spot on. Even when Dad's turn came round David recommended a good pizza take-away! There was plenty to do for our adult group: we cycled, walked, played games and spend time around the beautiful pool. The villa was hot but the large fans kept the bedrooms aired. we would thoroughly recommend this villa.

Dear Frances
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you and your family to La Casa Pietra again some day.
We absolutely loved our stay at La Casa Pietra. My parents, and my family of four (two boys aged 6 & 8) had a great week exploring Piedmont and enjoying the pool amidst a very hot July.
The house is older but well kept. The shades and fans made it cool enough to sleep. The kitchen is very usable. And the bikes were good to get out on early in the morning before it got too hot (though the hills are steep!)
The owners were extremely responsive and helpful both before and during our stay - providing lots of useful advice for the region. They have a wonderful local family who manage the house and provide on-site cooking if desired. We paid for dinner one night which was delicious and Cinzia and Simone were an absolute delight to meet and chat with.
The location is definitely remote - Bubbio is a tiny sleepy village - so most destinations are 20 mins drive or more but we visited Barolo, Barbaresco, Alba and Asti on various day trips. Canelli over the hill is an interesting place to be near! Beware the roads are small, steep and winding in the region.
Would definitely recommend and would happily stay again.
Just returned from a lovely holiday in Casa Peitra with a group old friends. The perfect place for a reunion after many years. Here's what some of the guests said:
A comfortable and brilliantly equipped house perfect for large numbers with space for everyone, whether relaxing by the pool, reading in the shade or cooking in the brilliant kitchen. And for those who need to do the odd bit of work, fantastic wi-fi.

A thoroughly modernised beautiful old villa set in spectacular, surprisingly green, rural countryside. Stunning.
- Mitch
I arrived exhausted and just the sight and location of the villa, instantly lifted my spirits. Day one the joy set in. Every day brought more. I leave reluctantly but with the diary out working out when I can return.

I came for the Giro which passes near by and got inspired. The surrounding hills around Casa Pietra are spectacular for cycling. I took myself off most days and returned home fitter than ever before. A Fantastic holiday. Thank you Jeska and Kit.

I recently rented a house in Italy and would like to share my positive experiences. From the moment of arrival, we received a warm welcome from the owner, which immediately made a positive impression. The hospitable reception made us feel at home right away.
The vacation home is situated in a breathtaking location. Surrounded by the beautiful Italian countryside, we could enjoy picturesque views of the hills and charming villages in the vicinity. The tranquility and serenity of the location made it an ideal escape from the daily hustle and bustle.
There was a large and well-maintained swimming pool. It was a delight to take a refreshing dip on hot days and relax on the comfortable sun loungers by the poolside. The pool provided ample space for our group and was a great place to have fun and unwind together.
The vacation home itself was spacious and comfortable. The interior was tastefully decorated with attention to detail, and all the amenities we needed were available. The kitchen was well-equipped, allowing us to easily prepare meals and enjoy cozy dinners on the terrace. The overall experience of our stay in this rented house was absolutely positive. The warm welcome, stunning location, and large pool all contributed to an unforgettable vacation. I highly recommend this vacation home to anyone seeking a relaxing and enjoyable holiday in Italy.

Dear Rosalie
Thank you so much for writing such a kind and detailed review. It is so helpful to us and to future guests to get a full idea of our house and the area.
Kindest regards
Jeska
Thanks once again La Casa Pietra for a lovely stay!
My family of seven (ages range from 27 - 75) stayed for a week at this property and have much enjoyed the Villa and the surrounding countryside, seaside locations and the Italian Riveria.
The facilities in the Villa are plentyiful. The host has been very through in regards to;
* Kitting out the kitchen equipment for cooking.
* Fresh laundry, bath towels and beach towels are provided.
*BBQ
*Bikes, table tennis, swings and Trampoline for kids.
* Swimming pool.
* A downstairs bedroom. We found this particular useful as the eldest member of our party struggles to climb stairs.
It is like a home away from home.
In regards to location, you would need a car as there isn't much within walking distance. (There is a great Pizzeria about five minutes drive). Shopping, supermarkets and local shops are all easy assessable by car and not a long distance. We found Bennetts particularly useful which is a 20 minute drive.
Thank you also to David who checked us in seamlessly after our day of travel. And a great big thank you for always being on hand if need be and providing us with your knowledge. You are always a great help!
Can't wait to visit again.
All the best, The Doherty's.
Alt fungerede, dejlig ugenert beliggenhed rummelig villa som svarede til beskrivelsen. Dejlig have med god størrelse pool. Vi elskede den nye store “Napoleon Grill”.Vi benyttede tilbud om besøg af en lokal kok som tilberedte et udsøgt måltid som vi indtog på den rummelige overdækkede terrasse.3 familier 3generationer alle havde en god uge.

Thank you for your lovely review. Glad you liked teh BBQ - expensive but I think worth it. We have now added two outdoor fridges on to the terrace. Hope you may return someday. Many thanks and best regards. Kit & Jeska
Het is een zeer rustige en veilige plek.Het huis is werkelijk prachtig. Wij waren met een groep van 11 personen en dat ging prima. Rondom het huis is er veel plek om te zitten met een prachtige grote houten tafel met stoelen en tevens een enorme lounge set.De keuken is zeer goed ingericht. Bij de grote buitentafel staat een werkelijk fantastische barbecue waar we veel gebruik van gemaakt hebben.Bubbio is een leuk dorpje met alles wat nodig is: een bakker, een kleine supermarkt, een slager, bar (bar Macchi met fantastische cappuccino!), restaurants, etc.Enige nadeel: Bubbio ligt nogal ver van grote plaatsen zoals Asti. Het landschap is heuvelachtig met smalle en bochtige wegen waardoor je niet snel met de auto een grotere plaats bereikt.

Thank you for your lovely review and we are pleased you enjoyed your stay at La Casa Pietra. We know what you mean about some of the smaller back roads but like you we prefer these to the faster main roads. It can take a little longer but they are much prettier and hidden gems can be discovered. It's one of the reasons we love the area. Hope to host you again. Kit & Jeska
Très belle maison au cœur de la campagne. Agricole donc avec ses petites nuisances (tracteur dès 6h du matin). Dommage qu’il n’y ait pas de contact à notre arrivée pour expliquer les procédures.

Merci d'avoir laissé votre avis et nous sommes ravis que vous ayez trouvé la maison magnifique. Nous sommes désolés que vous ayez été dérangé par un tracteur. Malheureusement, comme il s'agit d'une zone agricole, cela arrive parfois, mais rarement aussi tôt !
Nous avions une personne locale pour accueillir nos hôtes, mais elle a malheureusement reçu un très mauvais diagnostic médical il y a quelques semaines et nous n'avons pas encore pu la remplacer. Nous avons donc mis en place un système d'auto-enregistrement, comme nous l'avons vu sur de nombreux autres hébergements VRBO. Nous avons également ajouté toutes les informations sur la maison dans le dossier d'instructions, mais suite à votre commentaire et à tout autre commentaire que nous pourrions recevoir, nous pourrions revoir la situation pour la saison prochaine.
En espérant que ces deux points mis à part, vous avez passé un excellent séjour à La Casa Pietra et que vous nous rendrez visite à nouveau.
Cordialement
Kit et Jeska
Heerlijk huis met grote tuinen zwembad, dichtbij het mooie plaatsje Bubbio. Wij waren er dit jaar voor de vierde keer op rij tezamen met onze kinderen en kleinkinderen. Een waar feest!
Vi havde et fint ophold, men stedet mangler helt klart aircondition, meget varmt indenfor på værelserne. Der var kun 4 solstole og ikke seks som på billedet. Værten var meget venlig og informativ og hjælpsom.

Kære T.,
Tak for din anmeldelse af La Casa Pietra, vi er glade for, at du havde et godt ophold, og at vores manager David var en stor hjælp. Vi er selvfølgelig bekymrede for, at du syntes, det var for varmt i huset. Som de fleste gamle huse i Italien har vi ikke aircondition - værelserne holdes kølige ved at holde skodder og vinduer lukkede om dagen og åbne om natten, når luften er køligere. Måske åbnede folk vinduerne eller skodderne i løbet af dagen? Dette ville gøre rummene varme, og varmen ville fortsætte ud på natten. Vi leverer stærke ventilatorer i alle soveværelser, som kan bruges om natten til at cirkulere den kølige luft.
Husets stenvægge er omkring 0,5 meter tykke, hvilket er med til at regulere temperaturen inde, men på trods af det kan det i de meget høje temperaturer, man har oplevet på det seneste, være en udfordring at holde sig kølig.
Vi gennemgår jævnligt ideen om at installere klimaanlæg, men med udvendig udluftning er enhederne meget skadelige for udseendet af det traditionelle stenhus og er dårlige for miljøet, hvilket kræver en del elforbrug.
Jeg beklager, at der kun var fire liggestole under dit ophold. Desværre havde de tidligere gæster knækket to liggestole, og det hurtigste, vi kunne få erstatninger, var i slutningen af ugen. Vi købte to ekstra, så der er nu otte, men det hjælper dig selvfølgelig ikke nu.
Jeg håber du nød dit ophold i alle andre henseender, og vi vil meget gerne byde dig velkommen tilbage i fremtiden med den fulde kompliment af liggestole!
Med venlig hilsen
Wir waren mit der ganzen Großfamilie im Landhaus in Bubbio und haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Die Besitzer haben an alles gedacht, damit man dort eine unbeschwerte Zeit verbringen kann. Wie im Inserat zu sehen, ist das Haus geräumig und stilvoll eingerichtet, die Küche perfekt ausgestattet und der Garten mit traumhafter Terrasse, Pool und Spielgeräten/Sitzgelegenheiten lässt keine Wünsche offen.
Bei Anfragen bekamen wir sofort kompetente Antwort und die nette Hausverwalterin hat alles erklärt, was man wissen muss.
Wir kommen gern wieder und empfehlen das schöne Ferienhaus.
Dit was de derde keer dat wij met onze kinderen en kleinkinderen gedurende twee weken in casa Pietra verbleven. Het voelt inmiddels als thuis. We houden van het huis en van de omgeving en raken niet uitgekeken in de Piëmonte. Het huis heeft alles wat je nodig hebt en de grote tuin met vele zitjes biedt voor een ieder mogelijkheid te rusten, spelen, lezen, kletsen, borrelen met elkaar of afzonderlijk.
En dan nog het fijne zwembad! Op enige afstand zijn David of Simone die kunnen helpen waar nodig. Simone en haar dochter Cinzia kunnen soms ook nog zorgen voor een fantastisch diner! Casa Pietra is een feest. We willen volgend jaar weer terug!
Mit 6 Erwachsenen - 1 Teenagerin und 2 Kleinkindern verbrachten wir 14 wunderbare Ferientage. Alle fühlten sich in der Casa Pietra wohl. Wir hatten genügend Platz im Haus und drumherum mit Pool und div. Spielen. Wurden grossartig willkommen geheissen und betreut von Simona - phantastisch bekocht von Cinzia und aus der Ferne informiert von David.
