Property Summary
Nestled on a hilltop in Montelupo Albese, in the heart of the Langhe region of Italy, Villa Tramonto Albese is a charming and thoughtfully restored holiday rental that offers guests an extraordinary retreat surrounded by one of the world's most celebrated wine landscapes. Once a modest ciabot, a small rural construction traditionally found among the vineyards, this property was historically known as "Little London" after an elderly London artist who retired here following the war to pursue his painting. Today, it has been lovingly transformed into a refined and welcoming villa that blends rustic character with modern comfort. The property enjoys a privileged panoramic position overlooking the Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato territories, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2014, where the iconic Barolo and Barbaresco wines are produced and where the Alpine arc, with its highest peaks clearly visible on the horizon, frames the landscape in breathtaking fashion.

Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the sun-drenched countryside of Ostuni, in the heart of the Itria Valley in Italy, Pigreco is an extraordinary vacation rental that captures the timeless soul of Apulian rural architecture. This remarkable property seamlessly blends the authentic charm of traditional dry stone trulli and lamie — the iconic conical-roofed huts and rural constructions of the Apulian peasant tradition — with thoughtful modern comforts, all set within approximately 13,500 square metres of lush, unspoiled land. The estate unfolds like a natural courtyard, where stone paths wind between fragrant lemon trees and Mediterranean scrub, connecting three independent bedroom suites surrounded by ancient olive trees and private outdoor areas. At the heart of the property lies a spectacular infinity pool, offering a serene focal point for relaxation, while generous parking is available immediately past the entrance gate, discreetly separated from the living areas by characteristic natural stone walls. Seamless Wi-Fi connectivity ensures you remain effortlessly connected throughout your stay, and the expansive grounds serve as a verdant yard that envelops the entire estate in privacy and natural beauty.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces at Pigreco are nothing short of breathtaking, offering a rich tapestry of carefully curated areas designed for relaxation, dining, and contemplation. The centrepiece of the exterior is a stunning rectangular infinity pool measuring 10 by 5 metres, with a constant depth of 1.50 metres, featuring both chlorine and salt purification systems and 5 circular steps for easy water access. The pool is non-heated and is open from the last Saturday of April until the first Saturday of October. Surrounding the pool, a generous stone-paved solarium is shaded by 3 elegant gazebos — one dedicated to each suite — each equipped with comfortable deck chairs and wooden sunbeds, with additional sunbeds positioned directly by the pool. The property also features a relaxing outdoor Jacuzzi, located in the garden adjacent to Lamia Bruja, offering panoramic views over the Itria Valley. Each of the 3 bedroom suites enjoys its own private furnished outdoor patio, providing intimate spaces for rest and reflection. The main dining area opens onto a courtyard complete with a built-in barbecue and a spacious wooden table, ideal for alfresco meals with family or friends. A large patio serves as a gracious seating area, adorned with curtains and rugs, creating a refined yet relaxed atmosphere. A dedicated gym area equipped with fitness machines is also available within the grounds. Throughout the estate, numerous secluded corners surrounded by greenery and furnished with seating invite moments of peace and silence. The entire exterior is framed by an enclosure of Mediterranean scrub, an olive grove producing organic extra-virgin olive oil, and a surrounding wood where you can stroll in search of scented medicinal herbs. Please be aware that the property photographs were taken in spring, and therefore the flowering and the colours of the garden grass may differ from what you observe upon arrival.

This suite is served by a bathroom with shower. A short distance away is the second suite, known as Lamia Tata, which features a spacious entrance with a single bed and a double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom complete with a shower carved into the rock.
