The first house built in Tuoro by the legendary mayor, writer, essayist, botanist, genius amateur of architecture and ante litteram ecologist Edwin Cerio, between 1927 and 1932: a snow-white parallelepiped, enlivened by a porch and a terrace only a stone's throw from the celebrated Piazzetta and the fashion district of Via Camerelle. Yet suddenly it looks like another Capri. Disappearing as if by spell are the tourist crowds, the sound of silence, gates and high walls of villas festooned with fauve bougainvillea, cypresses and maritime pines. The location is extraordinary, overlooking panoramically both Marina Piccola and Marina Grande, facing the Castiglione, a gaunt, dramatically sculptural rock hemmed in by greenery. Closing the horizon is a Vesuvius-Mount Fuji now stark, vibrant, Warholian, now blurred and surrounded by vague, white, stringy Hokusai-like clouds. Surrounding the 600-square-meter building that is set into the living rock behind, distributed on two floors with a vast upper terrace overlooked by the sleeping quarters and complemented by two outdoor covered loggia living areas, are the garden, gi lush vegetable gardens on various levels. The property has 7 bedrooms each with ensuite plus two staff bedrooms. In addition there is a swimming pool in fieri. The original Iznik-inspired polychrome Vietri tile flooring has been restored and zoned both inside the house and outside, emphasizing continuity, homogeneity of use. This villa belongs to the island's history. It is also livable even out of season: meaning long walks at the natural arch, at Villa Jovis, at the Migliera in Anacapri; it means concentration, readings, the newfound civilization of conversation, bathing at Villa Malaparte, an extraordinary, unique vocation for conviviality.

The property is located on a gentle hill, walking distance from Santo Stefano Belbo, a lively village which was home to the iconic writer Cesare Pavese. From the cascina you can fully enjoy the breathtaking landscapes, rich in vineyards (mainly Moscato) and woods: you can walk the trails or ride up and down the hills, but also enjoy a modern and lively cultural and artistic offer.

Le Vigne is also the perfect place for yoga retreats and meditation. By car is the best way to reach the place and wander around the surroundings to take full advantage of the food and wine or the cultural offerings of the entire Langhe, Roero and Monferrato region. For sports, walks or small errands in the village you can also move easily by bike, preferably an ebike.
