The accommodation

Ca Momplin II: offers high standard and selected furniture & decoration on 220 sqm. over two floors with 2 master bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, large living with kitchen and a studio with sleeping couch, spacious enough to host up to 8 people in total.

Setting

Ca' Momplin is a typical XVIII° Century Piedmont's farmhouse, part of a small hamlet called Mompellini. It sits on a hilltop, 2 km from the village of Canale d'Alba and all its gourmet shops, ice cream parlors and pastries shops, 8 km from Alba, the truffle capital of the world, 15 Km from Bra, the town where the Slow Food movement was born and host of "Cheese, and 45 km for Torino, host of the 2006 Winter Olympics and of the "Salone del Gusto".

Ca' Momplin is surrounded by vineyards: its most prestigious wine is the Arneis. But a few Km away you enter the Barolo and Barbaresco districts as well as the Barbera wine region of Monferrato.

Here you can truffle and mushrooms hunt with Franco (in season), play tennis, enjoy the semi-Olympic pool at Franco's private tennis club, cook and wine taste with Franco and Claudia, horseback with Claudia, dine and wine with whomever you wish, or simply relax. You can also bring your pets: Junior an, our friendly dog and 3 cats will enjoy the company.
