- About The Experience
- Bring a large group or get together with your extended family – this rental villa in Piedmont is going to be a lot of fun! Not only is there great local food and fine wine, there’s also nearby thermal spas and plenty of shopping. If going out doesn’t suit your mood, splash in the private swimming pool, have a barbecue, play tennis or soccer on the court, shoot pool in the billiard room… or simply read a book in the hammock. This villa for rent in Piedmont allows you to do as much as you want or as little.
- Location Description
The villa is located in Piedmont's Monferrato wine zone, a region well known for its world class vineyards, picturesque lakes and hills, and truffle tasting and festivals. This is a mecca for gourmands, with its wines, cheeses, and meats, but it is the truffles that draw people here, as in the autumn, every small town in the region holds a festival for either wine, wild mushrooms, or truffles. A short walk on a mostly flat, paved country road will take you into the village of Fontanile which has a grocery, café, and post office. Nearby Mombaruzzo has a pharmacy and shops. Acqui Terme has a Roman Aqueduct, Abbey of Saint Francis and thermal spa. This city is famous for their therapeutic thermal baths dating back to Roman times. Local spas around the baths offer a full range of services, including facial and body treatments. Ideal for daytrips are Alessandria and Asti. Asti has an annual festival, Palio d’ Asti, dating back to medieval times. A week of local food festivals culminate into a bareback horse race through the city. The races’ twenty entries each represent one of Asti’s neighboring villages. The nearest airport is in Turin.
