Witness The Breath-Taking Palio Di Asti In Piedmont!

Come and be an onlooker of one of Italy’s most exciting Palio events, the ‘Palio di Asti’. This thrilling annual horse racing event, held on the third Sunday in September is a feast for the eyes! Held in the city of Asti in the region of Piedmont in Northwest Italy, the Palio di Asti attracts hundreds of thousands of spectators from the local area as well as many tourists from far and wide.

For visitors wishing to stay in the area in anticipation of this glorious occasion, there are several lovely holiday villas in Portacomaro, close to the city of Asti.

This historic Palio dates back to the thirteenth century and since 1988, has taken place in the Piazza Alfieri where there is an unusual triangular track which is used to race around.

You will witness not only one, but four exhilarating races to determine the worthy victor representing their contrada. There are twenty one contrade in the Asti region.

Visit the superb city of Asti in the region of Piedmont. Only 55 kilometres east of Turin, Asti has been settled by human inhabitants from as far back as the Neolithic period! Tourists could start their day of explorations here by walking around some of the ancient city walls which still encase the northern part of Asti. The north-west district of the city is brimming with magnificent old palaces and grand houses to walk around and admire for a few hours.

There are quite a few abandoned, or nearly abandoned, towns in Italy and each has its own particular appeal and unique charms. There is just something fascinating and hauntingly beautiful about places that are crumbling, that nature is taking back and which are devoid of human presence.

One such town is Leri Cavour in the comune of Trino which is located north-east of Turin in Piedmont.

Lucedio Abbey was built in 1123, when a large area of swampy land was given to Cistercian monks by the Marquis of Montefract. The monks set up a monastery on this site near Trino and made a success of cultivating rice there. However, there were darker events happening beneath the surface of this seemingly ordinary monastery. Lucedio has attracted ghost-hunters, teams of paranormal experts and television crews from all over the world and still has a certain morbid appeal. Believers and sceptics alike will be terrified and fascinated by the tale of the monastery so find a vacation rental in Piedmont and set out to explore this horrifying site.

Sadly, Ferrero is very secretive about their products and how they are made. This means that, unlike Perugina, they don't offer tours of their factories like the one at Alba. However, this doesn't mean that you can't take in a Nutella and Ferrero inspired itinerary of the area if you are a super-fan of the brand and its products! All you need to do is find yourself a vacation rental in Piedmont, hop in a car and get exploring the area and its chocolatey heritage! We've put together a little itinerary to help you out and guide you through the production process right up to the most important part, the tasting!

When one thinks of the culinary scene in Italy, they tend to picture hearty pasta dishes, perfect pizza, rich glasses of wine and even richer cups of coffee but the country has also produced some of the best-loved desserts in the world that foodies – especially those with a bit of a sweet tooth – should make a point to try. Nothing can compare to the authentic version of a dish made in the country from which it comes but it is also true that everything just tastes sweeter when you are on holidays! Often cited as a traditional dish from Piedmont, you should certainly make a point to try the beloved panna cotta dessert if you have found a vacation rental in Piedmont but you’re sure to also find delicious examples all over the place if you are planning a holiday in Italy!

Excellent 5^/5 Villa Review Rating Details

Simply the best possible vacation unit in the Piedmont environment. The flat is immaculate and convenient, the hosts are charming, the tiny village on top of the hill is a dream but what trumps it all is the view from the balcony. If paradise exists, this is what it looks like. We are lucky enough to experience the vast hilly landscape in different weathers, ranging from bright hot sun to heavy thunder storm and just lovely in between. Perfect!
