You are sandwiched between vineyards, hot springs and the Ligurian coast. 'Romeo' and 'Juliet' – once simple stone cottages in a lovely Piedmontese hilltop village – exemplify excellent restoration and Peter and Carolyn's love of antiques and art. Crunch over gravel and enter Romeo's chunky walls. The kitchen is a delicious blend of vintage limed wood with state-of-the-art appliances; chop and chat at a central island, dine at an antique table. Or eat under a shady portico in the private courtyard, with a side dish of green valley views (if the sun's hot, there's an outdoor solar shower). In the large tiled living room, cushions pile high on leather sofas and artworks dance on limewashed walls. Juliet's hotspots are a four-poster; an antique tiled breakfast room with sunny balcony; and massage showers. Elegant bedrooms hold antique wardrobes; Romeo's double has a shower and tub. The local trattoria can deliver meals and Alba (famous for truffles) and Genoa are close.
