Get to know Rana Cantante

Nestled among the vineyards of Monferrato in Piedmont, you will find the picturesque Villa Rana Cantante, a hidden gem where I embrace the Italian way of life. After traveling the world, I developed a deep appreciation for the roots of the Slow Food movement and the beauty of the Italian countryside. Surrounded by nature and off the beaten path, I have discovered countless beautiful spots in this area, and I want to share my experiences with fellow lovers of Italy.

Villa Rana Cantante is a sanctuary where visitors feel the positive energy of nature all around. Upon request, I organize retreats, wine tastings, cooking classes, and mindfulness training sessions. The estate is alive with the sounds of nature and is constantly evolving. Let me guide you through the magical experience that is Rana Cantante.

Langhe, Monferrato, and Roero: Live More Real

For me, BuonVivere—the art of living well—comes naturally, but it is something that can only truly be understood through experience. Wandering through ancient towns, strolling along vineyards that seem to stretch endlessly, hiking through rolling hills with my dog, or simply pausing to absorb the sound of crickets—this is where you learn to embrace the present moment.

Here, I live an authentic life, perfectly balanced between tending to my garden and welcoming my guests. Abundance in every sense: exquisite cuisine, world-renowned wines, and experiences that cater to even the most discerning tastes.

You will experience real and genuine encounters with life: the changing seasons, snow-covered winters, and long, sunny summer days that create unforgettable memories. Being here helps you understand why this region is part of the World Heritage List.

In my blog, I’ll guide you to the most beautiful spots I know. Whether you’re a cyclist, a hiker, or simply a lover of nature, you’ll find the hills captivating and unforgettable.
