We spend short but very good holidays. Alba is a georgous small town. House is big enough for 8 adults, with all commodities. Location is also great inside wineyards with a very relaxing atmosphere. Thanks to Mrs Vittorio for the welcome and nice advices.
Beware if you are considering this property, the only thing that stands out is the quality of the photographer :)
What you donât see on the pictures transforms what is sold as a family-friendly house into a disappointing property:
- The pool is actually not on the house property. Itâs across a road, down 50 steps. Not quite kids friendly.
- The patio (only outdoor sitting area) is more of a parking lot with a table tucked away in a corner, with what used to be a vine-covered pergola. Not idyllic for an aperitivoâŠ
- And the BBQ? try to find it on the picturesâŠ
But what makes this property a no-go is the terrible guest experience. A couple of example:
- Two kids got hurt on large bolts sticking out on the pool deck (where the broken plunge board used to be). Clearly a hazard, which we reported. Only to be told that it was our fault to let the kids run there (really?!)
- Internet was down for 3 days. Maybe they should have checked it before check in, maybe not. But being lied to by the villa manager about what has been done to fix the problem is unacceptable. Quick side note on getting connected, there is also little to no phone coverage.. the house not really âon this hillsâ, but more âbetween the hillsâ.
- Upon check out, the owner even accused us to have stolen pillows and towels. Seriously :)
In summary, not what it looks like, and made worse by a snooty attitude⊠but the food and wine in the region are absolutely great, Langhe is a great destination for a short trip!
We had a lovely stay thanks to the lovely house caretaker Vittoria who guided us to the best restaurants and places to visit. The house is great, while its surroundings are somewhat uninspiring,
Great Spot to get around the different villages. Longe furniture needs a bit of an update, grounds around the pool are not 5 star at the moment either. Vitti was great in providing some local bars and restaurants.
My husband and I stayed at the villa for two weeks and it was fabulous! We wanted to experience the food and wine of Piedmont and the location could not have been better. Everywhere we wanted to go was within 20 minutes.
To begin with, we were greeted by the property manager Vittoria. She was the best! She was extremely welcoming and while she was always immediately available to us, she respected our privacy. She truly seemed to care about our comfort and happiness. Then thereâs Roberto. He lives next door and takes care of the beautiful pool. Most mornings he would leave us a container of fresh figs from his tree! We were also able, with Victoriaâs help, to hire him to drive us when we wanted to fully indulge in wine with dinner!
As for the villa, it did not disappoint. It was immaculate, all of the furniture was comfortable and it was quiet and private. And the pool was glorious!
If you are looking for a place to stay in this area, I highly recommend this property!
And I must add that the best pizza was at Gusto Madre in Alba!
Vi bodde tre par i Villa Mezzaluna i en vecka. Bostaden var ordentligt stÀdad vid ankomst och incheckning/utcheckning/kontakt med husvÀrd har varit vÀldigt smidig. PoolomrÄdet Àven det rent och fint, och poolen stÀdades regelbundet under vÄr vistelse vilket uppskattades.
K ök vÀlutrustat och uteplatsen under pergolan mysig. Villan ligger bra belÀget i nÀrheten av bÄde Alba och La Morra m.m. Rekommenderar detta boende!
Fantastic Villa close to Alba, Bra and more. The location was absolutely perfect, the Villa was nice, the pool was great. My only issue was very stiff mattresses and under average pillows and linens. This place could be 5 stars, very easily, but it just is not. A little attention to detail could take this place to the next level.
The place was wonderful and perfect for our stay. Our only surprise was learning upon arrival that heat was extra. It would have been good to know in advance since it was turning cold while we were there. Just put in the description so we know.

The Villa was lovely and we enjoyed our stay very much.
The views are spectacular. Daniele was fantastic and her House manager Vitoria was very pleasant.
Thank you so much.
We will return.
The property is just outside of town in a small village. Beautiful to walk around and enjoy the sounds of rural life. The home is big. The massive table in the large kitchen was where we gathered...not the living room. Large, comfortable bedrooms and baths aplenty to support the number of guests. Highly recommend. If new to the area, get suggestions for places/towns to visit nearby from the property manager.
Sehr gepflegtes und gut unterhaltenes Haus mit geschmack- und stilvoller Einrichtung. Wunderschöner und v.a. grosser Swimmingpool. Gute Lage in der NĂ€he der schönen Dörfer des Piemonts. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefĂŒhlt.

Beautiful villa just outside Alba
My wife, our 5 year old son and my sister spent a blissful week in Villa Mezzaluna. The house is tastefully decorated, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, the swimming pool and the garden are an oasis of peace and very well maintained. The kitchen is very large and well equipped.
The house is very solid and quiet.
Location is perfect: Alba is 10 minutes away and Turin about an hour. There is a large branch of Eataly, also about 10 minutes away in Monticello
My wife and I wanted to play tennis and we were able every day to book a court located 5 minutes away, also in Monticello.
Corneliano d'Alba is another charming village nearby.
Vittoria, who looks after the property, was very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay.
We all enjoyed the stay very much and would definitely consider coming back: we have been renting a property in Italy through HomeAway for the last 4 years and this is the best so far.
Few minor complaints.
There are no waste baskets in the bathroom which we found a bit odd.
The fridge is a bit small for the house if it is fully occupied; perhaps a second fridge could be installed in the laundry room.
The a/c in one of the bedroom and the adjoining kids' bedroom makes a regular, audible noise; we got used to it in the end, but it is something that should be fixed.
Highly recommended!
Luxuriös ausgestattete Villa im Landhausstil ideal zum Verweilen, gemeinsamen Kochen, relaxen am Pool oder dem anliegenden riesengroĂen Garten. Ruhe tanken , in den umliegenden Wein- und Haselnussbergen Spazierengehen oder im 100 m entfernten Ristorante Scaparoni piemonteser Köstlixhkeiten genieĂen. An diesem Ort ist fĂŒr jeden etwas dabei . Idealer Standort fĂŒr AusflĂŒge in die umliegenden, traumhaft gelegenen Weinorte wie Barolo, die Labdschaft der Langhe oder Arneo. Die Stadt Alba ( wunderbare Einkaufsmöglichkeiten) ist 10 Minuten Autofahrt entfernt. Man wird durch die nicht am Ort wohnende Besitzerin sowie deren UnterstĂŒtzer hervorragend betreut. Immer gerne wieder. Kleinere Nachteile, wie dass man zum Pool ĂŒber eine kleine StraĂe gehen muss ( Sackgasse, so gut wie kein Verkehr) fallen nicht ins Gewicht. Preis- LeistungsverhĂ€ltnis ideal.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the area is beautiful and peaceful, the villa is spacious, comfortable and reasonably well-equipped with a lovely pool, though some of the kitchen utensils have seen better days. Vittoria was very kind and helpful and suggested lots of lovely restaurants for us to try.
My only criticism is that it is very expensive for what you actually get, the villa is semi-detached, and the garden and pool are across the road, although I did know this from the property description, it is quiet only leading to other houses, with a few cars and tractors using it. I was very surprised to find that on arrival only 3 beds were made up, we were a party of 6 and wanted to use all the beds, which is why I booked a larger villa. Vittoria was slightly reluctant to let us have more sheets and towels at first, though it was all sorted out quickly. Having paid to book the whole villa, I did not expect sheets and towels to be rationed, as the price we paid would have been the same for 10 guests anyway. I have a holiday let myself and always provide linen for the beds, whether or not the house is full, people don't always want to share a bed! However, I would like to reiterate we really enjoyed our week, and had great fun playing table football.
