Our stay at Villa Leolo was absolutely perfect in virtually all respects. The house and property are absolutely beautiful. In fact, the pictures of the house do not give the full impression of how lovely the property is. The pool is beautiful and the entire house and property are maintained in a pristine manner. The villa also is quite close - within a 15-20 minute walk, 2-3 minute drive and 5 minute bike ride to Monforte D'Alba - which is arguably the nicest town in Piemonte - much more charming than Barolo for example - and without the busloads of tourists. The host and staff at Villa Leolo were welcoming, highly responsive and of a great assistance. We have stayed at many properties in Italy and this property was by far our favorite. It is a perfect place to spend time with family and friends - and also is in a great location to visit the beach, mountains, lakes, Turin, Genoa and Milan - all of which are within a few hours drive. We have rated other properties 5 star but we would provide an even higher rating if one was available. We highly recommend Villa Leolo without qualifications of any kind.
