Welcome to Casavabene – we’re Harry and Martine

Hello!

We’re Harry and Martine, the proud owners of Casavabene Appartamenti. After a fruitless search for a home in the Dutch countryside, we decided a few years ago to change course. We set out to find a place in Italy where we could spend more time outdoors, enjoy nature, and welcome guests to a special location. In November 2023, we found that place in Casavabene and moved to Murazzano with our cats, Teun and Dries.

Over its nearly 20-year history, Casavabene has welcomed many guests who have enjoyed the peace and quiet, the space and the Italian outdoor lifestyle. Since we arrived, we’ve worked hard to furnish and improve the apartments and grounds step by step, to suit our own tastes while keeping comfort, atmosphere and the natural surroundings in mind, creating a place where our guests feel at home from the moment they arrive. It turned out to be an ongoing project, and our plans to keep working in finance (Martine) and marketing (Harry) alongside running Casavabene never came to fruition... Martine still does some part-time consulting work.

And that’s absolutely fine, because we love enjoying the peace and quiet, the countryside, the delicious food, the outings on offer and the walking trails and cycling routes that pass by Casavabene. Harry enjoys road cycling around Alta Langa, while Martine prefers to pull on her hiking boots. We love sharing this beautiful place and our best tips for routes, day trips, wine tastings and restaurants with our guests, so we look forward to welcoming you here!

See you soon,

Harry and Martine
