10 reasons to come to Piemonte

[Agriturismo Verdita]

1. It's not over run by tourists.
2. Piemonte boasts some of Europe's most breathtaking landscapes which take the form of vines and rolling hills therefore making it ideal for those who enjoy sporting activity such as trekking, horse riding and cycling.

3. The blue waters, the attractive coastline and beaches of the Italian Riviera are less than an hour away.

4. Piemonte is home to some of the world's most respected award winning wines such as Barbera, Barolo, Barbaresco, Dolcetto, Nebbiolo, and Asti Spumante among many others. Piemonte also produces two thirds of Italy's rice and a host of superb fruits and vegetables. Its exquisite white truffles are world famous.

5. Piemonte is a territory with extraordinary natural resources, where the passing of centuries has left an indelible mark: an extremely valuable architectural and artistic heritage that goes from Roman remains, through various style, to Liberty and contemporary architecture.

6. This region has one of Europe's most elegant old cities in the shape of Turin, a monument to cafe society.

7. Alba and Bra, Asti and Acqui Terme: towns which are the focal points for an area comprising hundreds of small villages, each of which has its own distinguishing feature, may it be a product, a viewpoint, or a castle.

8. Virtually every weekend throughout the year, villages hold events and festivals re enacting historical events or celebrating local food and wine.

9. The regions of Langhe and Monferrato are well served by airports and public transport. In fact, the region of Piedmont probably has some of the best air links in Italy. If you're flying from other parts of Europe, the USA or the rest of the world there is sure to be an easy route.

10. This is a land of Roman and Medieval hilltop villages, endless slopes of multicolored vineyards, heartbreakingly beautiful landscapes of steep valleys and hilltop Castles with the distant snow-capped Alps as the back drop

For me.....................the taste of spam............uuummmmmmmm

Humm my spam detector is silent but my ‘Oh God we need some bookings’ detector is whistling away nicely.

Times are hard and who can blame anyone for a little plug for their part of Italy?

I'm sure it was interesting Natasha, but our rules are no advertising; otherwise all your competitors would be advertising too.

[latoca]

well, there I go with my 10 reasons, in no particular order:

heritage
wine
fritto misto, agnolotti, chocolate
architecture
mountains
countryside
Torino
aperitivi
andare a spasso ( that's my daughters' favourite)
family and friends

Unfortunately ( or fortunately) I think that we could all come up with ten reasons to visit our part of Italy. Many would be the same. For example all these are here in Abruzzo too:

heritage
wine
fritto misto, agnolotti, chocolate
architecture
mountains
countryside
aperitivi
andare a spasso ( that's my daughters' favourite)
family and friends
and I could add

Beaches and the seaside
Skiing in the mountains
Castelli pottery
Arrosticini
Scripelle
National Parks
Wolves, bears, chamois
Alba Fucens
The Capestrano warrior
Castles

It will always be a problem for anyone involved in the tourist business, in whatever way, to big up their part of Italy without it appearing to be ‘advertising’.

The only thing I wanted is to bring some life into this part of the forum ...

But it's true that wherever you go in Italy, you'll always have a lot of things to come for.
We're all part of a magnificent country and maybe that's the main reason to come to any of the regions ... because we're all in Italy ...

Hi Natasha and welcome to the forum. It's great that you are here and we welcome you sharing your passion for Piemonte.

As Marc eluded to please do take a moment to review the forum rules in order to avoid responses such as the above.


Kind regards
