Agriturismo Cascina Vrona

We stayed 11 days in the 1 bedroom apartment which is a short walk from the main building and has parking directly below. It's modern, well furnished with a well equipped kitchen - oven, large fridge/freezer, microwave and toaster. The bed was very comfortable, plenty of places for clothes and there are lots of electrical points in all rooms. You also have the option to take breakfast as well as meals in the restaurant - which are delicious. When the weather is good they serve the meals outdoors on the terrace with magnificent views of the surrounding vineyards. They use local produce and even make the pasta themselves. Prices are extremely reasonable and there is a large selection of local wines. The only downside was poor wi-fi reception in the apartment, however it was ok in the main building. The place is well placed for visits to Alba, Bra and Asti. It's surrounded by km after km of vineyards and hazelnut trees. The Ferrero/Nutella factory is located in Alba, but unfortunately visits aren't permitted. Campari, Aperol and Ramazotti also have factories in the area. Each year in October and November is the Alba White Truffle World Market, the ideal place to appreciate and buy truffles from the Langhe, Monferrato and Roero area. The biennial International Cheese Festival in Bra (home of the slow food movement) takes place the 3rd weekend of September Monica and her father Rino (they also speak English and French) are extremely friendly and helpful did their best to make our stay memorable. I highly recommend this place for the accommodation as well as the restaurant.
