Johanna Noyon and Ton van Schaik are Dutch and since 2002 resident in Piana Crixia situated exactly on the border between Ligure and Piedmont. You have found the right adress if you want to enjoy a (here still existing) typical Italian environment surrounded by an unspoilt nature with peacefulness and lots of space. Furthermore cultural cities, famous wine-growing regions, ski possibilities and - not to forget - the attractive Italian Riviera are easily reachable. Cascina Pian del Nasso is situated in a quiet valley 5 km from Piana Crixia beside a regional park with streams and rolling hills up to 600 m high. The tranquillity guarantees a pleasant stay for nature lovers. In Piana Crixia (35 km inland from the Mediterranean) there are several restaurants, some general food stores, a butcher, a baker, post office and a pharmacy. Mulino – 2-6 persons. In June 2011 we completed the restoration of the old watermill, originally constructed around 1750. The watermill on the estate Pian del Nasso is a very special rental because of its history, location and appearance. Besides the authentic restored part of the mill, the living part consists of the living room (wooden loft), a spacious bedroom, a bathroom, a modern and fully equipped kitchen (with dishwasher) and a covered outside veranda. Around the mill there are terraces with garden furniture and in around the mill it is suited for naturism. The mill has 2 to 6 beds and through your own path (75 m) one has access to the heated swimming pool. www.verhuur.jnoyon.com
