Mosci's Bed & Beer

Mosci’s Bed & Beer is situated in an old rustic building that has been converted into a cozy retreat for those who appreciate a relaxed yet well-maintained atmosphere. The rooms are located on the upper floor, accessible directly from the pub but discreetly separated from the communal areas, designed to ensure peace and quiet after an evening at the bar or a day spent exploring the hills and vineyards. Check-in is available from 6 PM to 10 AM the following morning, with the option to arrange different times by contacting the establishment directly, making it convenient for travelers on motorbikes, in cars, or for work without strict schedules. The ambiance gives the feeling of arriving at a friend’s house: a few well-kept spaces in a tranquil countryside setting, yet in the heart of a vibrant area known for its food and wine culture.

Katia and Andrea, the couple behind Mosci’s, have merged their home life with their work, turning a long-held dream into a tangible project. Their decision to open a "Bed & Beer" stems from their love of quality beer, motorcycle travels, and the desire for genuine interactions with people. The common areas and rooms are filled with family heirlooms, coasters collected over the years, old bottles, grandparents’ tools, paintings, and mementos that tell stories of their lives. It's not a carefully curated set design; it’s a lived-in home that welcomes guests. The hospitality is direct and personal: guests are called by name, engage in friendly conversation, and leave with the feeling of having discovered a memorable place.

Breakfast is designed to leisurely kick off the day, without formalities, but with consideration for those who need to get back on the road or have plans for visits and tastings. A buffet is set up, featuring sweet and savory offerings typical of Italian tradition along with some international touches to cater to diverse preferences. The adjacent bar serves freshly made coffee, cappuccino, tea, and other hot beverages, as well as juices, allowing guests to assemble their own trays and take their time. It’s a convivial yet relaxed moment that marks the transition from the cozy atmosphere of the B&B to discovering the surrounding area.

The location of Mosci’s is a small rural district in the Asti region, surrounded by hills, vineyards, and rows of grapevines that change with the seasons. The pace here is slower compared to larger towns, providing a genuine appreciation of the landscape: winding backroads through farmhouses and villages, small bell towers on the horizon, and soft evening lights. A path directly from the property leads to Tigliole, which can be traversed on foot, by bike, horseback, or motorcycle, perfect for those who enjoy short trips filled with scenic views and tasty stops. Within a few minutes, guests can find a riding stable, the LIPU wildlife recovery center, ideal for families and nature enthusiasts, as well as some of the region’s most renowned wineries, where the wines that have made these hills famous are produced.

Nearby, there are castles and historic estates that intertwine history and landscape: the Castle of San Martino Alfieri, the Royal Castle of Govone, and the Castle of Magliano Alfieri are just a few examples of noble architecture that adorn the hills between Asti and Alba. The historic centers of both cities are just a short drive away, featuring their squares, traditional taverns, markets, wine shops, and events related to wine, local products, and farming traditions. The location of Mosci’s allows for easy travel between Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato, enabling guests to choose a different itinerary each day: a wine tasting at a vineyard, a stroll through the vine rows, a visit to a castle, or a dinner at a trattoria. Returning in the evening to a quiet village, knowing there’s a lively pub and a room ready to welcome them, becomes an integral part of the experience.

The Risto-pub on the ground floor is the beating heart of Mosci’s and serves as a natural complement to the B&B. The atmosphere recalls the charm of traditional pubs, with wooden tables, warm lighting, and details that reflect passions and travels. The kitchen offers hearty yet informal dishes meant to enhance the evenings: shareable appetizers, starters, meat dishes like pulled pork, chili, steak, cutlets, and various burgers, including vegetarian options, stuffed sandwiches, Roman pinsa, and large salads. The desserts are homemade, providing the perfect ending to a convivial dinner.

The beer selection is one of the defining features of the establishment. On tap and in bottles, guests can find German, Belgian, Austrian, white, IPA, unfiltered beers, and various fermented options, all personally selected and paired with menu items to enhance their flavors. The presence of local wines offers another alternative for those wishing to stay connected to the region's winemaking traditions. There are also evenings with live music and social gatherings, making Mosci’s not just a stopping point but a true meeting place for guests and locals alike.
