The weekend we went to Villa Sampaguit the weather was lousy but nonetheless we had a very good time. We had the apartment so plenty of space with two little girls.

Villa Sampaguita is first of all the welcoming atmosphere made by Rina and Tim who are the perfect hosts og touristguides to experience Asti. If you go by car, just ask Tim. He will guide you through every singel "rotatoria" (there are many!) with his homemade maps. The Villa is beautiful, peaceful and has a lovely terrace ouside every room... more

We had a fantastic stay with Tim and Rina for 3 nights in October. Tim is very helpful planning your daily outings and Rina is gracious and quite gifted in the kitchen. Out of all of our B and B stays throughout our 2 weeks in Italy and France, Villa Sampaguita was truly our best "find"-just what we were seeking... more

Tim is a gregarious raconteur and a fount of information about the area. Being able to use my laptop in our room was a pleasant surprise. We... more

Stayed with friends in the well appointed two bedroom apartment for a week in August.
