\t\t
Cascina Ponchietta is a family-run agriturismo in Mont\u00e0 (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.<\/p>\n
\u2192 Discover what it means to stay with us<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t We are located on the hills of Roero, in Frazione San Vito, about 3 km from the village of Mont\u00e0 (CN). In Mont\u00e0 you will find the Tourist Office of the \u201cEcomuseo delle Rocche del Roero\u201d, 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.<\/p>\n Tourist Office \u2013 Ecomuseo delle Rocche del Roero\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t We are in Roero, in Mont\u00e0 (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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t \t\t 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n \u2192 Book directly on our website<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Yes, one-night stays are possible, subject to availability and the time of year.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n \u2192 Check real-time availability<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t We work with flexible cancellation terms to give you peace of mind.<\/p>\n Rooms: free cancellation up to 7 days before arrival.
