class=\"has-text-align-center\">Roero is the first neighbour of the Langhe. Its landscape is mainly hilly and characterised by fruit plantations and vineyards.<\/p>\n\n\n  <\/div>      <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p>The extension of the Roero is smaller than the Langhe, but many <strong>towns<\/strong> and <strong>villages<\/strong> are worth a visit, if not because of their notoriety, for sure because of their <strong>beauty<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of its proximity to the Langhe, we highly recommend a <strong>trip<\/strong> in the Roero, where you will be amazed by the <strong>good wines<\/strong> and the <strong>succulent fruits<\/strong>, by the red soil and the <strong>high canyons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discover its main towns: <strong>Guarene<\/strong>, Magliano Alfieri, <strong>Govone<\/strong> and Castellinaldo to the East; Santa Vittoria, Sommariva Perno and Piobesi to the South; Monteu Roero, <strong>Santo Stefano Roero<\/strong> and Mont\u00e0 to the West; Cisterna d\u2019Asti to the North. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vezza d\u2019Alba<\/strong> and <strong>Canale<\/strong> are the heart and main towns of Roero, instead. Vezza is famous for its <strong>truffles<\/strong>, which grow in the woods on its hills, whereas Canale is famous for wine and <strong>peaches<\/strong>. We recommend visiting the <strong>Mercato Ortofrutticolo in Canale<\/strong> to buy the juicy local peaches in summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But also to visit the <strong>Santuario dei Piloni in Mont\u00e0<\/strong>, or to stop in a local winery (as for example the stunning winery Cantina Povero in Cisterna d\u2019Asti) to taste the white <strong>Roero Arneis<\/strong> wine and the local red <strong>Barbera d\u2019Asti<\/strong>. Almost every town of the Roero hosts an ancient <strong>castle<\/strong> or <strong>watchtower<\/strong>, and a main <strong>church<\/strong>, which are usually worth a visit to discover the local history and traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n<section\n  class=\"section section--mt-default section--mb-default section--pt-default section--pb-default section--height-default section--align-full section--has-background has-blue-background-color is-style-decoration\">\n\n      <div class=\"section__bg section__bg--position-default\">\n      <picture class=\"ratio__content\"> \n                <source loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/villagioiosa.it\/files\/2023\/09\/VEZZOLANO_.jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 1400px)\" \/>\n\n              <source loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/villagioiosa.it\/files\/2023\/09\/VEZZOLANO_-1400x875.jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 574px)\" \/>\n\n              <source loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/villagioiosa.it\/files\/2023\/09\/VEZZOLANO_-574x765.jpg\" \/>\n\n                <img decoding=\"async\"  width=\"\" height=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"VEZZOLANO_\" title=\"VEZZOLANO_\" data-caption=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/villagioiosa.it\/files\/2023\/09\/VEZZOLANO_.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/villagioiosa.it\/files\/2023\/09\/VEZZOLANO_.jpg\"\/>\n\n        \n<\/picture>\n    <\/div>\n        <div class=\"section__overlay section__overlay--is-default\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"section__inner section__inner--align-full\">\n          <div class=\"section__typography typography typography--full\">\n      \n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"monferrato\">Monferrato hills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Monferrato area is so wide that offers the most different landscapes and peculiarities.<\/p>\n\n\n  <\/div>      <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p>Another neighbour of the Langhe is the <strong>Monferrato<\/strong>. <strong>Way bigger<\/strong> than Langhe and Roero, it covers a surface of 2500 sq km, going from <strong>Casale Monferrato<\/strong> in the North, to <strong>Ovada<\/strong> in the furthest South. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its territory is divided into 3 parts, in fact: the <strong>Basso Monferrato (or &#8220;Low Monferrato&#8221;)<\/strong> \u2013 to the North, with a mainly flat landscape, bordering the river Po, with main town Casale Monferrato; the <strong>Monferrato Astigiano<\/strong> \u2013 the hilly central part, with Asti as core; and the<strong>Alto Monferrato (or &#8220;High Monferrato&#8221;)<\/strong> \u2013 extending to the South, on the province of Alessandria, and featured by gentle hills and famous wines, such as the Gavi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Monferrato is so wide that offers the most different <strong>landscapes<\/strong> and the most different <strong>specialities<\/strong>, and it might take you a while to entirely tour the region.

We suggest then visiting either single local producers or <strong>a wine cooperative<\/strong>, like Produttori del Gavi, where to taste and buy the local wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main towns of the Alto Monferrato are in fact <strong>Gavi<\/strong>, <strong>Acqui Terme<\/strong>, <strong>Ovada<\/strong> and <strong>Novi Ligure<\/strong>. They are frequently located on hills, have a <strong>castle<\/strong> or <strong>fort<\/strong>, and show buildings with facades in Genoese style, as a result of the cultural exchange with the <strong>neighbouring Ligurian towns<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The area of Acqui Terme is well known thanks to its <strong>thermal baths<\/strong> and its <strong>Roman origins<\/strong>, witnessed by the ancient ruins of the aqueduct. We suggest visiting the town to make a stop at the thermae, or even just to touch the water of La Bollente, the most famous fountain in the town centre, built on a hot spring from which the water comes out at 75\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are in the area, also the Serravalle Designer Outlet in Serravalle Scrivia is worth a visit.

The town name means <strong>\u201cwedge\u201d<\/strong>, as its <strong>triangular shape<\/strong> reminds it. Two <strong>rivers<\/strong> flow along the sides of the triangle: the <strong>Stura<\/strong> and the <strong>Gesso<\/strong>, which probably have shaped the land in the years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town is crossed by a main road, Via Nizza or SP20, which connects <strong>France<\/strong>, through <strong>Limone Piemonte<\/strong> and the <strong>Col di Tenda<\/strong>, to Turin, by crossing the Cunese plain. Cuneo is in fact situated in a very strategic point, <strong>at the foot of the Alps<\/strong>, on a passageway to France, which renders the town very important for the <strong>trade<\/strong> too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cuneo might also be a stop on the road to reach the main <strong>mountain passes<\/strong> and Alpine border crossings to France. The nearest are <strong>Colle di Tenda<\/strong>, <strong>Colle della Maddalena<\/strong>, <strong>Colle della Lombarda<\/strong>, <strong>Colle dell\u2019Agnello<\/strong>, to be found at the end of each valley departing from Cuneo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-h-3-font-size\">Cuneo, between history and nature<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cuneo was born in fact as a <strong>Savoyard military citadel<\/strong> against the French on this strategic location. Anyway, some <strong>Roman ruins<\/strong> show that the place had been appreciated and chosen already in an earlier past, as naturally safe and tactical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays the town has developed also out of the \u201ctriangle\u201d, but this remains anyway the heart of the town, the central part with shops and caf\u00e9s, and the main square, <strong>Piazza Galimberti<\/strong>. In this square a couple of events take place along the year, such as the <strong>National Parade of the Italian Alpine Troops<\/strong> and the <strong>chestnut fair<\/strong>, Fiera del Marrone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you like the mountains, the area of Cuneo is perfect to visit, as it offers a lot of <strong>nice locations<\/strong>, both as winter destinations to <strong>ski<\/strong> and as summer destinations for <strong>trekking<\/strong>. <strong>Limone Piemonte<\/strong>, <strong>Prato Nevoso<\/strong>, <strong>Crissolo<\/strong> and basically all the little towns in the nearby valleys are the best places to reach for <strong>day trips<\/strong> to enjoy the mountains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prato Nevoso<\/strong> is also a famous mountain location in the area, which is worth mentioning even if not exactly in the area of Cuneo, as well known for <strong>skiing<\/strong>. It is located in the <strong>Maritime Alps<\/strong>, or Alpi Liguri, in the chain of <strong>Mongioie<\/strong>, at about 30 minutes from the town of Mondov\u00ec. Prato Nevoso offers a big ski plant for winter but it is also a nice place to spend a nice summer day doing trekking and enjoying the <strong>fresh climate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-h-2-font-size\"><\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"text-image-overflow text-image-overflow--text-is-left text-image-overflow--mt-default text-image-overflow--mb-default text-image-overflow--align-full text-image-overflow--has-background has-blue-background-color text-image-overflow--align-full text-image-overflow--valign-default flex-columns  __text-image-overflow text-image-overflow--image-mobile-bottom \">\n  <div class=\"text-image-overflow__text text-image-overflow__text--is-left text-image-overflow__text--is-mobile-top flex-column flex-column--width-50\">\n          <div class=\"text-image-overflow__typography typography typography--text-is-left\">\n        \n\n<p class=\"has-h-2-font-size\">The Southern Valleys<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-h-3-font-size\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The valleys are like branches developing from the town through the mountains and each one is special for its features: <strong>uncontaminated nature<\/strong>, <strong>crystal-clear lakes<\/strong>, <strong>alpine farms<\/strong> producing cheese (the local Tume), honey, herbs spirits and organic vegetables. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone is characterised by a main road leading up to the mountains, ending up on a <strong>pass<\/strong>, and flanked by a <strong>river<\/strong>, usually giving its name to the valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the South you will be able to explore three valleys, departing from the town of Borgo San Dalmazzo, next to Cuneo.
