The hospitality of Monferrato can be felt in every detail, from the care taken in the surroundings to the choice of providing moments of genuine togetherness. At Castagnoni, tradition is embraced naturally: breakfast may be served in delicate ceramic cups, the aperitif comes in charming retro glasses, and candlelit dinners are enhanced with silver cutlery, creating an experience that feels like home and history.
The cuisine does not adhere to gourmet trends but instead celebrates the authentic flavors of the region with traditional dishes made from locally sourced ingredients, often harvested directly from the estate's garden or orchard. Breakfast is always plentiful and filled with fresh, local offerings, while lunch and dinner, available by reservation, provide an opportunity to rediscover ancient recipes in an intimate and relaxed atmosphere.
The connection to the region is also reflected in the selection of wines, featuring their own production of Barbera, Grignolino, and Chardonnay, perfect for enjoying on the veranda with sunlight filtering through the windows, or in the library among ancient volumes and 18th-century tables, complementing a moment of reflection.
