La Corte in Calamandrana (commune of the Asti province between the Langhe and the Monferrato, in Piedmount, Italy), ready to reveal its eighteenth-century past, enters with grace in this mutable landscape and invites its guests to the pleasure of discovering the history and the tradition.
A few kilometres far from Acqui Terme, famous for the healthy waters, and from Asti, capital of the sparkling wine, in a quiet and gentle landscape, lively from winding curves before they become hilly tops, between orderly thick rows of rich vineyards, there is Calamandrana, commune of the low Langhe, word that in the popular meaning means "the knap".
La Corte is one of the most important buildings of Calamandrana, whose artistic historical and architectural interest and value is certified from the town-planning scheme.
Calamandrana, commune with the ancient past, has always been a point of articulation of the local history, has been outpost of the Milan dukedom just in the heart of the Savoia dukedom, a few meters far from the border.
The Lombard origin is evident also in the architecture of the Farm Holidays La Corte, building born at the end of the eighteenth century with the influential name of "Casa del Podestà". The building reproduces exactly the past typical Milanese model of "closed court".
At the end of the nineteenth century the building has been used for the production of muscat wine and about 50 people lived there to run the wine activity.
At that time the structure of the building had a central country part with the hayloft and the sheds, a short side for the workers, a long side including the basement excavated in the rocks and in the tuff.
The renovation works of the building, then become La Corte Farm Holidays, have been done with the purpose of bringing to light the history of the house and the original structure.
The central part has been maintained and today includes the reception at the ground floor and the rooms at the top floor; the old hayloft and the sheds are now respectively, the salone and the restaurant; the short side where the workers lived is now composed of flats; then, the long sied of the old basement, is now the Barricaia and the new basement.
