Area Collina

The B&B Nocciolina is situated in the heart of the Ovada area, a region in southern Piedmont known for its gentle hills, vineyards, woodlands, and small villages that still retain a peaceful and authentic atmosphere. Its location allows guests to stay surrounded by nature while also easily reaching some of the most interesting destinations between Piedmont and Liguria.

Nearby, the villages of Trisobbio, Carpeneto, and Cremolino are worth visiting. These small, ancient towns dot the hilly landscape, with castles, churches, narrow streets, and scenic viewpoints that tell the story of this part of Alto Monferrato. It is an ideal area to explore leisurely by following secondary roads that wind through farmland, vineyards, and forested areas.

Ovada serves as the main hub of the region. Its historic center features palaces, squares, arcades, and numerous religious buildings, along with shops and eateries where visitors can experience local cuisine. The area is also closely linked to wine tradition: these hills are home to Dolcetto di Ovada, now protected under the Ovada DOCG designation, and offer various opportunities to visit farms and wineries.

The local cuisine provides another excellent reason to discover the Ovada area. Its geographic proximity to Liguria has, over centuries, fostered a blend of Piedmontese and Ligurian culinary traditions. Cured meats, cheeses, fresh pasta, mushrooms, truffles, and rustic dishes coexist alongside recipes and flavors influenced by both the nearby Apennines and the coast.

Nature lovers can enjoy walks, hikes, and cycling routes through hills and forests or venture towards the Ligurian-Piedmontese Apennines. One of the most interesting natural areas in the region is the Capanne di Marcarolo Natural Park, a large protected environment traversed by trails set within lush vegetation, perfect for those wishing to spend a day outdoors.

The close proximity to Liguria also makes it easy to combine a countryside stay with a day at the beach. The coast is about 30 km away and offers access to various towns in the western Genoa area, allowing visitors to alternate between hilly landscapes, inland villages, and Mediterranean seaside atmospheres during the same holiday.

In the opposite direction lies the vast Piedmontese wine region. About 55 km away begin the famous Langhe, with their UNESCO-recognized vineyard scenery, historic villages, castles, wineries, and a world-renowned gastronomic tradition. A day trip can take you to the lands of Barolo and Barbaresco, revealing a completely different landscape while still remaining in the heart of Piedmont.

The location of B&B Nocciolina is particularly appealing because of this diversity: you can spend a day exploring the villages and wineries of Alto Monferrato, enjoy nature in the Apennines, visit the Ligurian coast, or set out to discover the Langhe. It is an area ideal for those who enjoy slow travel, discovering small towns away from the busiest routes, and balancing excursions, gastronomy, culture, and moments of peace in the Piedmontese countryside.
