Cugi B&B is located in the heart of the high Monferrato region, an area that stretches between Langhe and Roero, recently designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site for its remarkable scenic and cultural beauty. This territory, covering roughly 100 square kilometers, is characterized by gentle hills adorned with vineyards, historic villages, and castles, all of which reflect a long-standing tradition of wine culture and Piedmontese rural art.
The village of Torrazzo, perched atop a hill in the municipality of San Damiano d’Asti, offers a prime location for discovering the wonders of Piedmont. Its proximity to renowned cities like Asti and Alba, both about 15 kilometers away, allows for easy access to cultural events, food and wine festivals, and local markets. Turin is less than an hour's drive, providing the opportunity to visit museums, theaters, and iconic architecture of the region, while the beaches of Liguria and Milan can be reached in two and three hours, respectively.
The surrounding area is perfect for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. There are numerous trekking paths and cycling routes, including the innovative "Altravia" trail that connects Turin to Savona, passing through hills, mountains, and pristine landscapes. The region is also known for the Romantic Road of Langhe and Roero, a scenic route that links villages, vineyards, and castles through 11 thematic stops and over 130 kilometers of picturesque roads.
Gastronomy enthusiasts can partake in tastings at prestigious local wineries, discovering typical wines such as Barolo, Barbaresco, and Nebbiolo, complemented by artisanal cured meats and cheeses. In the fall, the area offers unique experiences like truffle hunting, guided by experts with trained dogs.
For those wanting to immerse themselves in local culture, the scattered villages and castles allow for exploration of the history, traditions, and anecdotes of this part of Piedmont, also known as Terre Alfieri, in honor of the famous local poet and playwright.
Finally, the region features unique attractions such as the "giant benches," artistic installations that invite visitors to enjoy the scenery in a fun and original way, making each excursion an opportunity for wonder and relaxation.
In summary, Cugi B&B’s location provides a vacation filled with diverse experiences, ranging from relaxation in nature to cultural and gastronomic tourism, offering privileged access to one of the most captivating and authentic regions of Piedmont.
