Agriturismo Ca’ Pasquin
Ca ' Pasquin is a small-scale Agriturismo in the hills of the Langa Astigiana in Piemonte, northwestern Italy. From Ca' Pasquin you look out on rolling hills and the idyllic village of Roccaverano. On a clear day you can see the Alps from the Monviso ( IT) to the Matterhorn (CH). At the end of 2023 we opened with three apartments.
Twelve acres
At Ca' Pasquin we grow different vegetables, fruits and herbs. There are also a number of animals: cats, three big kind dogs (Maremmano Abruzzese), rabbits and chickens. We have planted many fruit trees and perennials in addition to the many cherry, elderflower, apple and plum trees that were already here. We try to restore the site with the help of old photos and local information.
The place
In 2022, we – Femke and Bart plus our two children, Luca (6) and Nero (4) – settled here.
Both with a huge love for everything that has to do with good food and drink, we wanted to live in the heart of where all good things come from.
We spent almost two years renovating the first parts of the farm. Our house, a holiday cottage and two existing apartments were completely renovated. We converted the old stable into an apartment "Il Rifugio" and added La Cita Ca (Tiny House).
In the summer we have a large above ground swimming pool where you can cool off.
We have been busy finding a place and then turning it into a destination where we would like to go on holiday ourselves, and we think we have succeeded!
Forests
We have plenty of woods where you can wander and explore, open fields where the many views will amaze you and you are completely absorbed in the tranquility of the area. We are committed to increasing biodiversity and allowing nature to take its course as much as possible. There are deer, wild boar and badgers around, but you can also find the fire salamander, slow worm and praying mantis (search carefully). In the spring it is full of protected wild orchids and other wild flowers. The bee and butterfly population is also growing steadily. The sunset is beautiful and on a clear night you can even see the Milky Way.
Future
Plans for the future, yes there certainly are!
We will use the coming years to renovate the remaining buildings and we want to restore the grounds and forest to their former glory.
