Located in Monforte d’Alba, in the heart of the Barolo wine region, Mona is a home that reflects local culture and creates memories of this special land as represented in each and every detail.
Protected by the Alpine arch to the northwest of Italy, you will find the Langhe, lands steeped in culture known as “the hills of tastes”, the home of famous wines such as Barolo and Barbaresco and various delicacies such as the white truffle, hazelnuts, Fassona meat and many more.
Villa Mona formerly used as a rectory, the archetypal forms of peasant life in the Langhe are embodied in the humble details and confined spaces that have been meticulously preserved during restoration.
