What to visit in the Langhe: from scenic wonders to medieval villages

Here are the top attractions that should not be missed according to Albergo dell’Agenzia and Corte Albertina:

• A visit to the castles of Grinzane Cavour, Serralunga d’Alba and Monticello d’Alba.
• A visit to the other Savoy Residences: Castello di Racconigi, the Reggia di Venaria Reale and the Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi.
• For art lovers, we recommend the Frescoes of the Chapel of San Ponzio in Monticello d’Alba, the oldest frescoes in the Alba area. But also the Fresco cycles of the Oratory of San Francesco a Santa Vittoria and the Path of the Frescanti: a widespread art museum that crosses the territory of the Roero and embraces centuries of art and history. Fascinating and precious frescoes are part of this route, as well as castles, rural churches and chapels, which can be reached on foot or by bike.
• The Barolo Chapel in La Morra: a colorful church among the vineyards renovated by the Ceretto family at the end of the 1990s. Artists Sol LeWitt and David Tremlett have transformed this building into one of the best-known attractions in the Langhe.
• Visits to the museums: Truffle Museum in Alba; Museo Craveri in Bra (the most important natural history museum in the province of Cuneo); Múses – European Academy of Essences, a museum in Savigliano that celebrates the tradition of aromatic herbs in Piedmont, offering a sensory journey through the perfumery art and flavors of the territory; WiMu, the Barolo Wine Museum.
• The Cherasco Antiques Market, a not-to-be-missed event with 5 km of exhibitors and stands that offer vintage objects, vintage clothing and the most particular collectibles.
