Mango holiday house

What to do in the area: Food & Wine: The Southern Piedmont is dotted with numerous small villages with castles, churches or convents that can be seen from afar. A number of stately homes open their doors and gardens during the summer months. Mango has a beautiful castle. Inside you will find a restaurant and the Enoteca Regionale for wine tasting. The villages of Barolo and Barbaresco - famous worldwide for their wines - are within a short driving distance. Not surprisingly in an area famous for its wines, good food is just as important and a stone throw away. ‘Foodies’ will find themselves in heaven; The Slow Food movement did not originate for nothing in this part of the Piedmont. You will find numerous Michelin star, and family run restaurants to pizzerias within a fifteen minute drive. Different wine and food festivities are organised from Easter until early December. During the summer months the villages organise their own smaller fete. Not a week passes without one being held somewhere.

Outdoor activities: Walking, cycling, riding and far more. The bureau of tourism has set out a number of local tours that can be done on foot, by (mountain) bike or on horse back, which will take you through beautiful countryside. Other outdoor activities from rafting to paragliding are also available. Golf: A total of seven 18 hole golf courses and a number of challenging 9 hole golf courses, within a radius of 50 km, should be able to satisfy the average golfer. Further information under Golf Information. Beach: A day at the seaside in the charming old town of Noli, (about one hour’s drive) will let you experience how unspoilt the Mediterranean still can be. Tip: Combine your day at the beach with a visit to Savona (10 minutes from Noli). Art, music and theatre: Particularly during the summer months cultural events are held all over Southern Piedmont.

Day trips: Day trips: Turin - Milan – Genoa. With the new motorway (A33) Alba - Asti completed, which connects to the A 21, a day trip to Turin, Milan or Genoa has been made even easier. Whilst Milan and Genoa are better known, we have not met anybody who was not more than pleasantly surprised by Turin (one hour to the centre of town). Tip: Visit one of the Italian gardens or old stately homes en route. Alba - Asti - Aqui Terme and many more. Three totally different provincial towns, dating back to different eras are worth visiting for their architecture. Shopping here is also very good, though on a smaller scale than in the above mentioned cities. All famous Italian brands - some even have their own shops - can be found in these towns. The large Saturday market in Alba - famous for its white truffle - is also worth a visit. The smaller town of Neive has been promoted to “one of the hundred most beautiful villages of Italy”

Golf: Over 40 golf clubs strategically positioned over the whole region satisfy the needs of all golfers, from beginners to the most expert. Five of the ten best courses in Italy, as judged by the most prestigious golf magazines, are in Piedmont. A total of seven 18 hole golf courses and a number of challenging 9 hole golf courses, within a radius of 50 km, should be able to satisfy the average golfer. For Instance: Cherasco Sports Association and Golf Club (18 holes), Via Fraschetta 8 - 12062 Cherasco (CN), Margara Golf Club (27 holes), Via Tenuta Margara 7 - 15043 Fubine (AL), La Margherita Golf Club (18), Carmagnola (TO), I Girasoli Golf Club (18), Carmagnola (TO), Golf Club of the Langhe (9), Monforte D’Alba (CN), Golf Feudo di Asti (18), Asti (AT)
