Whether its dogs snuffling around roots of trees to sniff out the world’s richest crop of white truffles, sitting on a designer bar stool in some chic café in Asti or Turin, sipping orange cappuccinos in chocolate-lined cups or watching Ferrero rolling out its golden rocher (rocks) in Alba you will soon agree that its cultural portfolio is second to none. That is why we decided to escape the 'hussel and bussel' of corporate life and open a Bed & Breakfast Hotel in Piedmont.
"The land of good food and wine, rolling hills and Vineyards, a unique and tranquil home from home"
Comment Arriver
From Milan: If you are arriving into one of Milan’s 3 airports you will be coming to us from the Asti direction. You will need to exit the A21 autostrada (Torino-Piacenza) at Asti Ovest, once you have come through the pay toll you will take a right towards Torino onto the SS10. Follow this road for about 12km you will go through several small villages, when you pass an agricultural farm/shop on the left you will see a sign for Cantarana (if you pass the Agip garage you have come too far and will need to turn round) turn left over the small bridge and then follow this road over the railway bridge and round. You take the second left sign posted Bricco Barrano, follow this road up the hill, once you pass a small church on the right, turn right and we are the first house on the right number 19. From Turin: If you are travelling from the Turin direction you will exit the A21 autostrada (Piacenza-Torino) at Villanova, once through the pay toll (take the far right lane) turn right towards the roundabout. At this roundabout turn left towards Asti and onto the SS10. Follow this road for about 10 minutes you will come to a small town called Villafranca and you are almost here. Keep following the road towards Asti. You will pass on the left Gullivers supermarket and two petrol stations (ignoring signs to Cantarana at this point) once you pass the Agip petrol station take your second right sign posted Cantarana (the first right is to the Villafranca train station) over the small bridge and then follow this road over the railway bridge and round. You take the second left sign posted Bricco Barrano, follow this road up the hill, once you pass a small church on the right, turn right and we are the first house on the right number 19.
