Swimming pool and views to die for
Swimming pool (8 x 4m)
From the swimming pool you have the most amazing views over the vineyards and towards to Alps. Fun all day for the kids, and a relaxed time for the parents.
With such views, comfortable lounge chairs, you will probably not want to leave anymore!
Fenced garden
Sit down and relax in the beautiful fenced garden. There is enough shade, a BBQ, and comfortable lounge chairs.
The view at night is to die for. When the sun sets over the hills, first the landscape colours pink and purple.
When the night comes, the lights on the hills across the valey start flickering. With the lit-up castle of Serralunga d'Alba there, it is a view to never forget.
La Gioiosa also offers a chef's service: Have the best Piemontese home cooked dinner overlooking your own pool! You can discuss your wishes with the chef, and he will make an unforgetable experience for you.
Patio and terraces
The patio is the heart of La Gioiosa. Here you can sit down for a true Italian 'al fresco' dinner. The Italian dream!! Freshly made food at a long table with friends and family...... Buon apetito.
THE LARGE HOUSE
Large kitchen and dining room
We offer a large kitchen and big dining area for large groups. Previous guests have described the atmosphere as being in a castle. The antique furniture and the natural stone walls greatly add to the charm of this authentic italian countryside villa.
At the same time it is a brand new, modern kitchen equiped with a professional oven, double sinks and double dishwashers, and a large fridge with ice-maker. The perfect start for a nice dinner or a cool drink at the pool.
The kitchen is large enough to organize a cooking class. Why not come with a group of friends and have some cooking classes in Piemontese cuisine. We would happily organize this for you.
