Amazing!

My husband and I stayed in this amazing flat in central Alba with our 3 children for 3 days. It was perfect. Super clean and great decor, linens, towels, and all the kitchen necessities. Cristina is a wonderful host and we will definitely return. I highly recommend this apartment for holiday or business.

La Mansarda

As advertised on the website. The only downside is the slanted ceiling (which the pictures on the website clearly reveal, some were not misled). If you are tall, you will need to watch your head in one end of the apartment, but this was not too difficult. Cristina was very helpful and the location and condition of the apartment were excellent.

A comfortable apartment in an excellent location

La Mansarda is a very comfortable apartment ideally located on the edge of the historic centre. An easily accessible and secure parking spot is a bonus. Cristina was a responsive host and very gracious about our very late arrival because of a 4 hour delay due to bad weather in the alps. The apartment is spacious and comfortably furnished, the kitchenette is very well equipped and the two bedroom two bathroom layout works well. Tall people could have problems with the sloping ceilings, but the top floor location is great, as is a lift for two thirds of the distance! We would happily stay here again if we returned to Alba

Heart of Alba

Great spot right in the heart of Alba. If you’re out and about doing the wine thing during the day, you’ve got the perfect spot to park the car and walk to dinner and shopping at night. Only thing lacking is a smart tv to help out a non-Italian speaker w/ a Firestick, but other than that, not much to complain about.

Perfect to explore Piedmont

1. Christina (property manager) made everything so easy, check-in to check-out and was always quick to answer any questions. 2. The apartment is huge for European standards, tons of living space and space in the bedrooms. The air conditioning was a life saver as temps during our stay topped 100 degrees. The secure & reserved parking was large enough for my XC90 and easy to navigate. 3. Great location in Alba, so many options for dinner are within an easy walk. Also, the apartment is centrally located to easily access Barolo or Barbaresco wine regions. Will stay there again on my next visit to the region.

A spacious and well equipped apartment in the heart of Alba

This apartment has all you need for having a good experience in Alba – even when it is 34 degrees outside it is cool because of an efficient air con. It is situated in the old part of Alba close to a big selection of restaurants and shop. The landlord Cristina is very kind and service minded – she even welcomed us with a bottle of wine and water and juice in the fridge.

A delightful apartment. There were all the things we needed. Super down parking in the yard. We would like to come back. Lovely teresa. Alba is a lovely city with many opportunities for trips in the countryside. Many big wine experiences are only a few km away. In the evening there is often music on the squares. Good food in many difference restaurants. KT and Christine, DK
