La Cantinetta Resort

Lined along Via Roma in Mombello Monferrato, La Cantinetta Resort is a four-star stay in the Monferrato wine hills of Piedmont, roughly 80km east of Turin — well placed for vineyard touring through Barbera and Grignolino country, suited to couples driving the UNESCO-listed Piedmont wine landscape.

Breakfast is included, free parking sits on-site, and free WiFi covers all rooms. Non-smoking rooms are standard throughout. Check-in opens at 13:00, with check-out by 10:30.

Casale Monferrato, the Monferrato district's historic capital, lies a short drive north, offering a Romanesque cathedral and one of Piedmont's better preserved old town centres — a practical half-day addition to any stay.
