Where exactly are you looking in Piedmont?

Here in South-Piemonte and just over the border in Liguria there are several people who have horses.

really sorry as your comment has just popped up-not ignoring you! We had started generally looking around Asti as a starting point but haven’t ruled anything in or out yet.

Which towns would be classed as South Piemonte?

thanks

South Piemonte is more or less south of Alessandria - Asti - Alba, for example the area around Acqui Terme, Nizza Monferrato ...

For example I know of a lovely property near the small village of Denice, South of Acqui Terme.

Hi there,

Would you consider Liguria? A British friend of mine had horses for the longest time so she could give you great insight!

Would you consider Liguria or is Piemonte your go-to destination?

Feel free to reach out if you need any extra info :)

Thank you very much for posting back. We haven’t definitely settled on Piedmont and would certainly look at Liguria. We are at the very beginning of our search and Piedmont was just one area that seemed a good place to start.

where in Liguria is your friend if you don’t mind me asking?

Thanks

Of course! It’s Pontinvrea :) about a 20mn drive to the sea town of Albisola and 15mn drive to Piemonte. Close to Genoa & Nice airports which is important for us expats.

If you wish to know more about where ahe was keeping her horses etc...let me know & I’ll share her email. She’ll be happy to help!

Take care,

I am selling my villa with pool (B&B potential) in a village which borders not far from Piemonte- Pontinvrea ( Savona)

You can get into the heart of Piemonte in an hour or on the ski slopes. You can be on the golden beaches in 15 mins too. A good inbetween!

Regarding horses there are livery stables in many places nearby & good hacking. There are also riding schools with instruction which do showjumping/ eventing compititions too.

Even on my property itself the summerhouse was 2 converted stables.

Contact me by all means for info

I would even consider an exchange to downsize and return to England
