About this villa rental
La Camillina is a spectacular property that belonged to the Gancia family, known throughout the world for "Asti Spumante". Carlo Gancia, the inventor of this particular sparkling wine, bought the best location in Canelli to build his magnificent property. Its dominant position among the vineyards with a 360° view of the hills of Canelli and the Langhe, its tranquility and its 30.000 sqm of secular park, garden and swimming pool, make this wonderful property one of the best locations to spend a relaxing holiday in the Langhe. The large house is 350 sqm on two floors: the first floor has two large living rooms with original fireplaces, a large dining room with marble flooring, a large kitchen, a bathroom with two sinks, a large wooden staircase upstairs where there are 14 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms.
Outside, the villa is surrounded by a centuries-old park, with paths, benches, a swimming pool with hydromassage, solar shower, internal showers, changing rooms, a patio and a pool house with refreshment point.
There is also the possibility of renting the villa for parties, private events, corporate events and organize many services including lunches and dinners with a catering service to be agreed in advance.
At the villa there is a soccer/volleyball field.
Come to Canelli and visit our Underground Cathedrals where the Spumante is kept! The villa is also in a good position to discover the south of Piedmont: Barolo, Barbaresco, Neive, La Morra are 40 minutes away by car.

We had a great week with our family of grantparents, parents and (grand)children.
What we loved;
- the space: the garden is huge and that was very pieceful. We havent seen or heard any neighbours.
- the space inside was huge too and that was great! There was plenty of space for all of us and many bathrooms. So privacy for everyone while being together.
- the pool is perfect! The size, shape, depth, cleanliness...we spend almost all of our time in or by the pool.
- at the entrance of the property there is a small shop/bar with the nicest man, serving great lokal wines and tasty bites.
- there is a washing machine!
Less perfect;
- some things are damaged or missing; a coffeepot, some taps have loose parts, some sunbeds are damaged as is one or two of the putside tables.
- it was really hot in our week and also the house was hot. Good thing; there are fans in every room. But is was still hot and some fans didnt really do much.
And: communication before we arrived was a bit poor, but once we were there it was perfect. There was something wrong with the dishwasher and immediately a technician was sent. Also my son needed a doctwr and immediately they helped me with an advice where to go
We might come back some day because we had a really good week!

If you are looking for sleek interior design, furnishings and equipment, this is not for you. If, on the other hand, you don't mind pots with only 2 matching lids and underpowered showers, and you do want a beautiful, spacious property with rustic charm, then this is the place for you. The grounds are huge, and enclosed, so it is very safe for younger children. It also has a brilliant pool and pool house (with toilets and shower), with tables to seat a large party (17+ of us ate there every night). We have now stayed here 3 times, and just love it. Now also with a very nice bar and shop at the entrance.

Our party of 20 (4 under 10s, 4 teenagers, 12 adults) had a fabulous week at this stunning property. Cristina and the owners were extremely helpful and reactive to the smallest problem - clearing a blocked sink, and providing a kettle and more tea towels very promptly, despite a bank holiday. Rubbish is collected (and recycled) every day, and the garden maintenance was very unobtrusive, arriving very early so plants etc were watered, often before we got up.
Cristina's sparkling Chardonnay wine is highly recommended, and the food she catered for us was delicious.
The building is perfect for large gorups - the smallest bedrooms have individual bathrooms, but otherwise 2 bedrooms share. There is also a bathroom downstairs, and the pool house is excellently equipped with shower, toilets, and changing rooms... and wifi.
Being in its own grounds makes the property very safe for small children, and the pool is also suitable for little ones, & well equipped with lilos. The property also has swings, a table tennis table, football area, boules pitch outdoors - and table football and some puzzles and games indoors. You can also walk or jog on a path round the property's grounds, partly through the woods and round the gardens. We lived at the pool house and in the kitchen - but there was plenty of space, even if we had had rain.
Only drawback was the mosquitos - especially in the kitchen. Do bring strong anti-mosquito stuff. Smidge worked for me - but we also had slowburning products under the tables by the pool, and sprayed curtains, bed clothes etc to try to discourage them at night.
