Before you arrive, here are the questions our guests ask us most often. From our rooms and services to the surrounding area and pet-friendly hospitality: you will find clear answers to help you plan your stay in the hills of Roero, Piedmont, Italy.
The farm house and the area
What type of accommodation is Agriturismo Cascina Ponchietta?
Cascina Ponchietta is a family-run agriturismo in Montà (CN), in the Roero, Piedmont. Since the year 2000 we have offered authentic hospitality rooted in our farming activity and the land around us, different from a hotel or B&B, to let you truly experience nature and the countryside.
Where is the agriturismo located and what are the main attractions in the area?
We are located on the hills of Roero, in Frazione San Vito, about 3 km from the village of Montà (CN). In Montà you will find the Tourist Office of the “Ecomuseo delle Rocche del Roero”, a reference point for experiences, trails and activities in the area. The perfect spot for exploring the surroundings: Alba and the Langhe are 20 km away, Asti, Bra and Monferrato about 30 km and Turin around 40 km, ideal for a weekend escape from the city.
Are you in Roero or Langhe? What’s the difference?
We are in Roero, in Montà (CN), one of the most beautiful destinations in Piedmont for a romantic weekend in an agritourism or a relaxed travel escape into nature. The Roero (left bank of the Tanaro river) is wilder and more irregular: forests, orchards and the spectacular Rocche. The Langhe (right bank) have a more open landscape, with the great vineyards of Barolo and Barbaresco. Both areas offer hiking tours, wine tasting and the various flavours of the territory, and from our agritourism you can reach both places in just a few minutes.
Your stay
Is it better to book directly?
You can book directly via our website using a secure, certified system: your credit card is used solely to guarantee your booking, with no upfront charges. Exactly as you would expect from any online booking.
Booking directly is always worth it: you are guaranteed the best available price, you can reach us directly for anything you need, and you enjoy full flexibility.
Can we stay for one night only?
Yes, one-night stays are possible, subject to availability and the time of year.
That said, this is a territory best experienced at a slower pace: medieval villages, walks along the Roero ridges, a winery to discover, the quiet rhythm of the countryside. Two or three nights give you the time to truly take it all in.
During high season and public holidays, minimum stays apply: two nights for rooms, three nights for studio apartments. Studio apartments are available on a Saturday-to-Saturday basis from June to September.
What is the cancellation policy?
We work with flexible cancellation terms to give you peace of mind.
Rooms: free cancellation up to 7 days before arrival. Studio apartments: free cancellation up to 15 days before arrival.
Beyond these deadlines, the cost of the first night will be charged to the card provided as booking guarantee. In the event of a no-show or early departure, the cost of the unused nights may be charged.
For changes or cancellations, get in touch with us directly: we are always happy to help.
What are the payment methods?
The balance is due at checkout. We accept credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), cash and Satispay.
The tourist tax is € 2.00 per person per night, payable in cash only and not included in the room rate. Children under 10 are exempt.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in from 15:30, check-out by 10:00.
We are here every day, but we organise arrivals individually: a WhatsApp message the day before is a great help.
Early check-in before 15:30 is not available as standard, but if you expect to arrive earlier, write to us in advance and we will let you know what we can arrange.
If you plan to arrive after 19:00, let us know and we will arrange accordingly.
In summer, if you would like to enjoy the pool after check-out, let us know the evening before: depending on incoming arrivals, we may be able to extend your pool access until 14:00. If so, a contribution of € 10.00 per person applies.
Is breakfast included? What can I expect in the morning?
Yes, breakfast is included for all guests staying in our rooms, and complimentary for those in our studio apartments. We serve it every morning from 8:30 to 10:30, with both sweet and savoury options: farm and local produce, homemade jams and cakes, eggs, cured meats and seasonal PDO cheeses. In summer, under the portico with views over the countryside.
Do you have any dietary requirements or intolerances? Let us know at the time of booking.

Do you offer lunch or dinner service?

Do you organise wine tasting or aperitifs on site?

Occasionally we welcome a small number of non-resident guests, always by prior arrangement and with the tranquillity of our guests in mind.
Is there Wi-Fi at Cascina Ponchietta?
Yes, free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, including the pool area.
Do you welcome dogs? Is it a pet-friendly farmhouse?
