Villa Cadenza

Villa Cadenza is a beautiful old farmhouse which has been converted into a warm and welcoming home. It is located in the stunning Langhe region of Piemonte in Northern Italy, not far from Turin, Milan, Genoa and the Ligurian coastline.

Surrounded by lush greenery and small scattered farms of hazelnuts, it provides an idyllic rural escape and a true and enduring connection to nature. Here, you can feel alive in the true sense, wake up to the sounds of birdsong, rustling trees and the glorious Italian sunshine. Go for long walks in the lush valley, visit Murazzano or listen out for the lions roaring from their location in the safari park not far from the villa! Murazzano, a quintessential Italian village perched on a hill, can be seen from the house and beckons those in the surrounding valleys to cafe or gelato on the sunny terraces and a warm convivial atmosphere which is truly enchanting.

The house is warm, sunny and pleasant. The land around the house extends up the hill for about an acre and has many fruit trees. The views are sublime. There is an outdoor kitchen with a wood fired pizza oven, BBQ and gas hob.

I am a retired educational director and my husband and I love Italy. We have been visiting the country for over 35 years and have had the villa for ten years. We are originally from Kenya, of Indian origin, living in the UK and have this wonderful house in Italy!! We love being global and love nature. We are very easy going and have a relaxed approach to life. As a volunteer you can expect to get a lovely private room to yourself with either a shared bathroom or an en-suite. Meals during the day and free time to enjoy the house, local areas and travel further afield. We will have a car and we will provide a lift as and when necessary. You will be provided with a safe stay in a caring and easy going home. We need to paint the windows, doors, shutters and other minor jobs. We also want to fit a deck on the slop on above the villa and would love to share the place with you if you can help with the renovations.
