Its southern and western elevation is characterized by a long loggia overlooking the formal garden and the panorama of the Monferrato hills, while on the southern side the villa opens onto a formal garden. The residential part also includes two farmhouses, one of 280 sqm renovated in 2020 and a second of 140 sqm renovated in 2023.
