Imagine waking up on a fresh spring morning in the Langhe, where the hills look like green waves fading into the horizon. The vineyards are in bloom, and the air is filled with the delicate scent of the vines. The path leads you through the vineyards, where the morning sun illuminates the leaves still wet with dew. In the air, the first buzz of bees announces the awakening of nature.

Summer: Relaxation and Wellness in the Langhe
When summer knocks on the door, the Langhe transforms into an oasis of peace. Staying at Cascina Facelli and enjoying the pool and relaxation with a view of the vineyards and woods regenerates the soul. Summer days are long and hot, perfect for a picnic on our property, surrounded by 5 hectares of meadows and woods to fully immerse yourself in the nature that surrounds our farmhouse.
Pool and Horseback Riding
During the summer, a B&B with a pool offers the perfect relaxation after a day of exploration, and why not, on horseback! Dive into a pool with a view of the vineyards and woods, with the sun setting behind the hills. Cascina Facelli offers all this (but the horses need to be booked elsewhere) and much more, making your stay unforgettable.
Autumn: The Charm of Fog and Wines
Autumn in the Langhe is an enchanted season, where the fog envelops the hills and seems to suspend Monviso in a muffled, fairy-tale environment. It’s time to savor a glass of Barolo or Barbaresco while the yellow leaves fall lightly and the damp earth brings back childhood memories, like when you used to go mushroom hunting in the woods with your father or grandfather. Participating in the harvest is a unique experience: picking the grapes by hand, stomping on the clusters, and smelling the intense aroma of fresh must.
White Truffle and Wine Tastings
Discover everything there is to know about the white truffle of Alba, from harvesting methods to tasting techniques. Attend the International Truffle Fair and visit local markets to buy the best truffles. The Langhe is famous for its fine wines, such as Barolo and Barbaresco. Join tastings and tours of wineries like “Marchesi di Barolo” and “Gaja”.
Winter: The Magic of Snow and Boiled Meat
Winter in the Langhe transforms the hills into a fairy-tale landscape, with snow covering the hills and the smell of burning wood in the fireplaces. Stroll through the streets of Monforte d’Alba or Barolo, while the scent of boiled meat fills the air. The Christmas markets offer local crafts and gastronomic delights, creating a festive and welcoming atmosphere. Don’t forget to taste typical dishes like meat agnolotti and bagna cauda that warm the heart and soul.
Christmas Markets and Traditional Dishes
Christmas in the Langhe is full of traditions and magic. Visit Christmas markets like the one in Govone, attend events like the Living Nativity of Dogliani, and discover Christmas gastronomic specialties. The boiled mixed meat is a traditional dish that warms both body and soul, perfect for cold winter days. Accompany it with tajarin with white truffle from Alba for a complete culinary experience (but first, I recommend considering your digestive capacity 😊).
The Langhe is not just a place to visit but an experience to live with all the senses. Each season offers a different discovery, from the vibrant colors of spring to the intense aromas and foliage of autumn, passing through summer relaxation and winter magic.
