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!

The quietest place we've ever been to!

Huge place and very clean. Building was gorgeous, and there are actually 6 bedrooms, not 4 as it states on the website. Quite out of the way; nearest town to get groceries is about 20 mins drive. No problem if you have a car though and surrounding area is gorgeous. Kitchen facilities limited - also the kitchen is some way from the living area which is upstairs, so not convenient if you are preparing food to eat. Would definitely come back.
