Ca d' Rot - House Ratti

Il soggiorno presso questo bed and breakfast è molto piacevole, in quel paesino tipico del Piemonte dove si possono ammirare vasti paesaggi e vigneti. Le camere sono ben curate. La colazione è molto abbondante e offre una varia scelta, partendo dalla classica brioches e caffè, fino ad arrivare alla tipica colazione americana, con prosciutto, formaggio, salame, ecc. Le persone che gestiscono questa attività sono molto professionali e, importante a mio parere, solari. Non solo hanno cura dei propri clienti riguardo la pulizia delle camere o della colazione stessa, ma si rendono sempre disponibili sia per consigli sui vari itinerari o luoghi da visitare o dove poter assaggiare piatti tipici del luogo, sia per scambiarsi opinioni o semplicemente chiacchierare,... E' come sentirsi a casa!

Clean, confortable and great hospitality. Highly recommended.

Marisa, Mario and Frederika, I hope you remember us. We stayed for three nights in June and loved every minute. Your hospitality was amazing and we enjoyed talking and spending time with you. Your suggestions on what to see were good...and we enjoyed our evening at the vineyards tasting wine at Luiga's and Larissa's. We hope to see you in Canada next year!! Lois and Larry Rozak.

Lovely and charming b&b in a beautifull region. Both innkeepers are very hospital and provide excellent suggestions for what to visit in the area. Overall, great B&b in the piemonte region. Kris Belgium

Pasamos cinco días de nuestras vacaciones en el Piemonte en Ca d’Rot, Vinchio, un lugar muy tranquilo y acogedor. La familia de la casa Marisa, Mario i Federica fueron unos anfitriones maravillosos, amables y predispuestos a hacernos pasar una vacaciones inolvidables. Nos informaron de los lugares ineludibles de visitar, pueblos bellísimos con aires medievales en lo alto de las colinas rodeados de viñedos, también de la restauración fantástica de la región. Coincidimos con las fiestas d’Asti, nos facilitaron el acceso al espectáculo del Palio. También nos organizaron una degustación de vinos de la región con comida típica del lugar pasando una velada muy agradable Fueron unos días muy intensos, pero bien organizados, recorriendo esta zona del Piemonte, si repetimos, no dudaremos en volver a Ca d’Rot. Gracias por todo familia Ratti Albert & Antònia

My partner and I spent seven nights at Ca d'rot and had a wonderful time. It was a perfect location to explore the surrounding countryside and beyond. The Ca d'rot family could not have been more accommodating and gracious. Marisa and Frederica gave us great ideas for what to do/see and allowed us use of the kitchen. They made sure that we were comfortable throughout our stay. Marisa even made a reservation for us at a local vineyard (Castino Luigi) for a pleasant wine and dinner experience with the owner, Luigi. The room and bed were perfect for us. It is a mostly quiet location except for the occasional barking dog and speeding car through the main road. I would recommend staying here for anyone who wants to escape the bustle of tourist centers and enjoys a relaxed pace. We would definitely stay here again.

Un grand merci à Marisa et Mario pour leur accueil et leur hospitalité. Nous avons séjourné 2 jours et 3 nuits dans l'une de leur conviviale chambre d'hôtes. Nous avons été judicieusement conseillé dans le choix de nos balades dans cette région magnifique qu'est le Piémont. De plus, suite à un incident de parcours durant le trajet pour nous rendre à Cad'Rot, Marisa et Mario n'ont pas été avares de leurs conseils et aides, jusqu'à nous prêter leur véhicule personnel. Vraiment Top ! En un mot, c'est un lieu que nous recommandons sans problème, idéalement situé pour visiter le Piémont et son incroyable vignoble. Pierre et Elisabeth

Je recommande très vivement cette chambre d’hôte au cœur d’un charmant village typique du piémont. L’accueil à Ca’de rot est si sympathique et chaleureux qu’on se sent chez soi. Marisa est calme, accueillante et disponible. Nous avons été pris en charge avec beaucoup de chaleur humaine, comme si nous avions été des amis de la famille. Les logements proposés sont spacieux, très propres et conviviaux, chacun avec sa salle de bain particulière. Le petit déjeuner est très copieux, et délicieux. Nous n’avons pas eu le temps de visiter, et c’est mon seul regret, car j’aurais aimé me poser un peu plus pour goûter ce lieu… surtout lorsqu’on a vu depuis la frontière les magnifiques paysages du Piémont, et qu’on sait que cette famille attentive est toute disposée à nous guider et nous conseiller. J’espère pouvoir revenir…

We stayed for a week in Vinchio, a little place in Piemonte. The welcome in Ca d' Rot was great. The familie Ratti gave us tips of were we could eat, were we could taste wine, and the places of intrest in Piemonte. The room (with bathroom) was spacious and clean. The breakfast was very good. We will go back certainly !

. . . but then with nice weather, better food, good wine and in Italy !!! We stayes in Ca d'Rot 2 times in one holiday. After one day it felt as if we had been living here for months. The owners did everything to make us feel at home. They advised us on restaurants and wine tasting at the winery of their friends. Especially the wine tasting was not tasting wine but a wine experience. Ca d'Rot is a place to come back!

Le mangiari, les vinos et le amicalité. We have had a wonderful time at your accomodation. Nous avons apprecié Votre chaleur. We will book again Diete,Monique,Martino,Michel

Siamo stati un fine settimana in questo B&B. L'ambiente è molto famigliare, la cortesia e gentilezza dei padroni di casa è immiglorabile. Le stanze sono abbastanza grandi e pulite nonché i bagni. La colazione è abbondante e buona. Se cercate un luogo tranquillo immerso nelle colline piemontesi questo è il posto giusto.

You were right.... Riomaggiore is very beautiful. But we miss you and Vinchio and have talked already about when we can come back and visit! You were an amazing host.... thank you so much for everything you did to help us and how welcome you made us feel. Grazie mille!!!

La disponibilità e la simpatia di Marisa e Mario ci ha colpiti subito. Sembrava di essere a casa di vecchi amici che ci coccolavano con millke attenzioni e suggerimenti. E' stata una esperienza che ripeteremo appena possibile

Ottima l'accoglienza e la disponibilità dimostrataci al nostro arrivo. L'ambiente è pulito, riservato e molto curato nei particolari. Lo consiglio sicuramente!!

Centrally located to the Piemonte wonders of Alba, Asti, Canelli and the vine draped hillsides, the real value of this treasure is the way Marisa, Mario and Federica make one feel embraced in their home as if it was your own. It was a privilege to begin to know them and they immeasurably enhanced our visit to this most marvelous heartland of Italy. Steve Manning

Il bed&breakfast è molto carino e accogliente ed è immerso in uno scenario molto suggestivo tra colline e vigneti.Le camere sono molto confortevoli, spaziose e curate, ottime per rilassarsi dopo una giornata di visite culturali o di shopping. Mario e Marisa, oltre che essere degli ottimi padroni di casa, sono delle persone splendide, molto accoglienti, gentilissime e sempre disponibili.

Me and my girlfriend stayed 1 night in October at Mario & Marisa' B&B in Vinchio. We found them on Google and we could not have wished for better. First, Mario & Marisa were super nice and they always made sure we were not missing anything. Second, they know the region very well and recommended us really nice places to visit. They even drove us to the vineyard of one of their friend where we had an amazing afternoon tasting wine. One night was too short and we hope to be able to go back for a longer stay in the future. Thanks again Mario & Marisa, it was fun meeting you and your beautiful region. -- Dominic and Rosiane.

Perhaps the best thing about this wonderful place was the personal service and friendship extended by its owners. Lovely quiet little village set in beautiful vineyard region, good food, and a highlight was the wine tasting and meal with local friends of the owners, complete with truffle hunt. We intend to go back!

I titolari sono stati molto ospitali e disponibili. Le camere con relativo bagno ben pulite e atrezzate. La posizione è strategica per visitare una zona molto bella del Piemonte. Consigliatissimo. Cinzia e Massimiliano da Seriate - Bergamo

we stayed here two days. was all perfect. vineyards around and near to city so we could enjoy the food and wine in the area. Very hospitable and you are advised to visit places.

We´ve been at the "Ca d´Rot" in august 2010. The Ratti family - Mario, Marisa and Federica - were wonderful hosts! On our journeys in Italy and France we met a lot of charming people, but the Rattis were really the nicest. Their House is lovely and clean, the breakfast was delightful. Moreover they talked englisch (especially Mario) and french (Marisa) with us, what was great, because we do only speak a little italian.

Ciao Pamela and Christian Thank you so much guys for your wonderful review. We are happy to have met you. It is really nice to read what you wrote about our territory and us. This review will help us a lot for growing and improving even more! Arrivederci. See you!

- Marisa e Mario (innkeeper)

Fantastic family to stay with, very kind and helpfull. Great room and bathroom and a perfect breakfast. Marise and Mario are the perfect hosts and nothing is too much. Which host will travel nearly 100 kilomters to see a exhibition where the guest shows his collection? We had a fantastic time at Marise and Mario's Ca d'Rot! Danny and Yvonne The Netherlands

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Dear Yvonne and Danny, thank you very much for your beautiful review. We like arts in general, so it was a really nice day spent together and we have approached now also the art of collection. We hope a lot to see you again one day! Take care,ciao Marisa and Mario

- Marisa and Mario (innkeeper)

What a wonderfull familiy the Ratti are! Both of them speak English which in Italy is pretty rare, even for B&B's. We had a very warm welcome from them both. Once we asked them about local vinyards and tasting wine, the husband took us up hill to a friend of his, a local farmer. There we had our tasting of wine on the beatifull hills of Asti. This is one experience we will never forget! And thanks to the family Ratti we had this experience. The next morning we drove through the region and went by a bigger winetasting house and it definately didn't have the charm of the tasting of the wine before. It's a shame the farmers can't be found while driving around the region. Later that evening, the owners pointed us to the fact that in asti there would be a winefestival that evening, great! The room was really nice and clean, breakfast was wonderfull and abundant! Everybody who's ever been in italy knows that italy and breakfast don't go together but here, yoghurt, ceral, bread, croissants, cookies, cheese, meat, jam etc. The wife is nice and chatterly and keeps appoligising for her poor english, nonsense, you can understand every word of it. I only wish I could speak italian that well. Honestly, if your looking for a nice, warm and familylike B&B in the region of asti, look no further! The only downpart is, that their home is a bit hard to find, our gps couldn't find them, but once we asked for the family ratti in the village, we got pointed towards them.

Hi Marjan and Rogier Thanks for lovely compliments! See you...maibi in Holland Ciao

- Marisa and Mario (innkeeper)

Nous avons passer seulement deux jours sur place mais avec une envie de revenir rapidement. Les propriétaires sont très sympathiques et accueillants avec des conseils sur la région clairs et intéressants. Pdj délicieux avec des produits maison. Rapport qualité/prix hors norme Restaurant tenu par la soeur de Mario excellent à tous les niveaux A conseiller

L'accueil et l'hospitalité de cette famillle italienne est exceptionnel. Bravo pour le petit déjeuner qui est extra. Notre séjour en groupe d'avril 2010 a été super. Un village et une région magnifique. A refaire!

There are too many good thing to say about our stay at Ca d' Rot. The family is absolutely amazing and went out of their way to ensure we had an enjoyable stay and unforgettable experience. This is by far one of my best travel experiences thanks to Federica, Mario and Marisa. I know we will be back to see them again. Should you have the opportunity to stay here, take it. Vinchio and the surrounding area offers a very unique Italian experience full of wine and great food. This is definitely recommended to all of those thinking to stay here and visit Piedmonte.

Ca'D'Rot run by Mario and Marisa is one of the best B&B experiences me and my partner have had while travelling through Europe. This experience is created by the hosts, who are warm, fun and extremely nice. Both Mario and Marisa are very passionate about their local culture, wine and food and if you are an inquisitive traveler they will give you some of the best reccomendations! Definitely ask them for a wine tour and they will suggest either a tour with a family or a cooperative- Pick the tour with the family! Me and my partner travelling through Piedmonte region were looking for great wine and some authentic experiences. The hosts took us to the wine tour with a family, the vineyard produces mostly Barbera wine and also delicious Grigniolino- which was a truly memorable night. I highly recommend this B&B for it's charming location on a little village on the hill surrounded by vineyards, for it's wonderfully warm hosts who will go out of their way to make this experience one to remember! Worth every Euro we paid, but somethings cannot be quantified in monetary terms and that is the lovely time we spent with Mario and Marisa. My partner and I will definitely go back next year in October/Novermber to partake in the truffle season in Piemonte...and any guesses where we will stay? That's right! Ca'D'Rot! Many Hugs to Mario and Marisa from Dee and Keith

We stayed in this B&B for 3 nights during a visit to Piemonte in Italy in May 2010. We met a lovely couple that owned this B&b. they were very friendly and guided us to beatifull places in the surrounding areas. The room was spacious and the breakfasts were generous. We loved our stay there and would certainly recommend this place for future references.

Un séjour inoubliable, tant par le lieu et ses spécialités culinaires et oenologiques que par l'accueil de la famille Ratti . Une famille qui donne aux B&B le pouvoir de se sentir chez des amis .Marisa et Mario vous expliquent, vous guident, vous conseillent sur ce qui fait l'attrait de la région . Nous n'avons pas tout vu et c'est avec grand plaisir que nous y retournerons !

Thank you so much for your hospitality. We have been very well and will certainly come soon.

THANKS DEARS!!! Thanks for all..... I really enjoied my stay and I will never forget you. Thanks in particular to Federica.... I will surely come back soon to visit you and all your staff to taste once again your foods and your wines. Ely and Stephen.

Beh, non ci son parole..la famiglia Ratti è riuscita a trasformare il loro B&B in "casa tua". La cordialità, gentilezza, familiarità, la gradevole ma non banale semplicità son ciò che rende, assieme al contesto generale del luogo, questo B&B il miglior rifugio dove poter trascorrere le vacanze in terra Astigiana. Grazie a tutti i componenti per aver trasformato la nostra visita in un frammento indimenticabile. Alberto

We came to visit Mario and Marissa and Frederica for the second time, we hade again a marveluous time. Nice food, wine, region and last but not least wonderfull people! Perfect please to relax and enjoy the best of italy! Looking forward to meet these people again! Tom and Katrien

My wife and I were looking to relax for our last four days in Italy and we found the perfect place to do that at the Ca d' Rot B & B. The room we stayed in was charming and the breakfasts were tasty and ample. My wife was especially interested in white truffles as well as the other local food and wines of the region and the this B & B is perfectly situated for that purpose. Marisa was able to take us to a personal wine tasting with one of the local grower/vintners, who also hunts for white truffles with his dog, Linda. What a treat to be able to go out after dinner and hunt for the delicacy!!We were able to visit both Asti and Alba as well as walking in the beautiful countryside right there in Vinchio. There are also excellent restaurants nearby. All in all, it was the end to a vacation to remember, thanks to the fine folks at the Ca 'd Rot! Bob and Jay, Gaston, Oregon, USA

We stayed with Mario and Marisa late August 2009. This was a highlight of 3 week trip. We visited a special local winery with other guests and the B & B hosts. We also attended the local wine festival with them the next night. What a great banquet and experience along with other guests and of course Mario and Marisa, their daugher and son, and their friends and family. I would not miss staying here - you will make some great friends who really go the extra km for true hospitality. We were sad to leave and modeled a recent gourmet for our club of 30 years from this experience. The maps and directions for others towns and sights in the region were also wonderful. John W. I just need to add the warmth and hospitality of the host and hostess is a rare find when you travel. If you stay at this B & B you will not be disappointed. Carla W.

Ciao Carla and John! Grazie, Thank you for your sinpmaty and rewiew Marisa, Mario, Federica and Marco

- Marisa (innkeeper)

we have stayed in b&b all over the world, and never have we met such warm and helpful hosts. Marisa and Mario went out of their way to help us plan the nest leg of our trip. reccommended things to do, reserved dinner for us, and accompanied us to a momorable evening of wine tasting and dinner by their friends Luigi and Larisa (where we tasted the famous white tartuffi for the first time!). We were sad to say good-bye and hope very much to stay with them again

Thank you so much for your review! We have been very well with you and will be glad to host you again in the future for giving you the chance to have new experiences! ciao,ciao Marisa,Mario,Federica and Maro

- Marisa and Mario (innkeeper)

This is a jewel of a B & B just waiting to be discovered. The Ratti family were outstanding hosts and went out of their way to make our stay in the Asti memorable and convenient. They arranged for a private tour of a vineyard complete with tastings, and to attend a local wine festival dinner which was beyond fantastic. Their B&B was charming, the rooms were comfortable and very clean, the breakfast and other snacks were very good, and they even did some laundry for us! The hosts, Marisa and Mario, weren't just innkeepers, but became our friends. This B & B is in a quiet little town right in the beautiful Piedmont area and is a must stay for people who enjoy wine. We can't recommend this B&B enough, and it is an exceptional value too. Give it a try!

Un posto tranquillo tra splendide colline dove abbiamo trovato una struttura particolarmente accogliente, ma soprattutto una grande ospitalità ed alla fine ci siamo praticamente trovati tra amici che ci hanno fatto apprezzare ancora di più il luogo i suoi sapori e la purtroppo breve vacanza

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Grazie per quanto avete scritto! Anche noi siamo stati bene ed alla fine trionfa l'amicizia!

After travelling around Italy in various B&B`s we finally stayed at Ca d` Rot What a wecome by Marisa & Fredrica . They took us to the Palio in Asti they escorted us to resturants so we could find our way they gave us maps and guides so we could help plan our trips . The rooms were great and very clean and to add to that the breakfast was outstanding, with Marisa in constant attention . If you wan`t a great place to stay in Piemonte this is it .From Michael and Brenda Moore Devon UK

Un week end rilassante, in un ambiente familiare. Disponibilità e cortesia. Camere molto confortevoli e una pulizia impeccabile. La colazione è assolutamente fantastica con marmellate genuine tutto molto abbondante. Marisa è una persona fantastica come tutta la famiglia e suggerisce itinerari interessanti per conoscere al meglio il paesaggio.Insomma un posto dove sicuramente non si può non tornare! grandioso. francesca 29/08/09

Our stay at Ca'drot was very nice. We were there for 7 days and the hosts are very nice people, very freindly and most helpful. they made many very good recommandations and suggestions for good restaurants, places to see and people to meet. they know thier region very well and everybody knows them, so you are always elcomed where ever you go. If you are looking for a quiet place, in a nice small village right in the middle of the most beautyful wine country in the world, Ca'drot is the palce to stay. You will be 20-30 minutes away from everything there is to see in the Asti/Alba region. The breakfast is very good. lots of homemade dishes and excellent care every morning. The in Keepers will help you plan your daily visit and they will event take you places if you which. I recommand Ca'drot to all my freinds and I am already making plans to go back some day!

A fantastic B&B in the middle of the vineyards of Piëmonte. Next to the beautiful region and its pure and tasty products the people are amazing. Staying in Ca d'Rot is like entering a family. You can enjoy, after a good night of sleep, a fantastic large and healthy breakfast. Afterwards you'll enjoy the sun on the patio and the guidance from the family Ratti to visit the most secret and beautiful places of the region. This very warm family tends to be as good as the wines you'll find among them.

We felt as if we were visiting with long-time friends in their home. Very comfortable room and bath...I would definitely stay at Ca d'Rot / House Ratti again. John and Lois

Members of my family and I took a self guided tour of Italy starting in the Tuscany region and making our way north to visit our Italian relatives near Domodossola. We were fortune enough to stay at Ca' d'Rot B&B for a few days while in the wine region of Peidmont. It is a charming home located in the small community of Vinchio within the Asti region. It is very clean, well maintained, and comfortable with beautiful views of the countryside. Our hosts Marisa, Mario, and Federica were absolutely amazing. They helped plan our daily excursions, took us to markets we would not otherwise have found, and even had wine and cheese ready upon our arrival which we enjoyed on the front patio. They also arranged for a private wine tasting and meal at one of the small local wineries which was fabulous. I should also mention the pleasant breakfast each morning. I would highly recommend this B&B and look forward to returning in the near future.
