Agriturismo with great wines, good food and 360 ° views

Sunday afternoon 2:30. The restaurant of the agriturismo is packed with locals. That's a good sign: so here you can find good food! Despite the pressure, friendly owner Alessandra still takes the time to give me a tour of all the rooms of the agriturismo. She even showed me around the wine cellar of the farmhouse.

I had already circled the grounds and was amazed at the stunning views. Living in Tuscany I am spoiled for beautiful views, but still I am amazed at the beauty of the Langhe region (around Alba). What an inviting view of the surrounding vineyards and hills, even from the agriturismo’s fine swimming- pool. The pool is also heated, so even if it's a bit chilly at night, the water temperature is still pleasant.

Rooms

The agriturismo has eight rooms, all on the first floor and all with balcony. All rooms have a private bathroom with hairdryer, TV and wifi. There are also some family rooms for 3 to 4 persons, with a double bed and one or two beds in an open loft. The stairs to the loft have no banister, so take care with young children! For families with children the agriturismo has a common room with fridge and microwave.

In short

This wine farm is an attractive quiet agriturismo in one of the most beautiful regions of Piedmont, a half hour drive from the charming town of Alba. An agriturismo for lovers of good wines and delicious local food in an informal atmosphere.
