Province of Asti accommodation from NZ$173

This is a great hotel. The location provides easy access to shopping, restaurants and water taxis. All the staff are extremely helpful and they even send you home with a delicious pastry.

We stumbled upon the highlight of our journey at the breathtaking Cascina Tre Botti B&B, lovingly owned and operated by Lorenzo and Claudia, who gave us a warm and inviting welcome. As a side note, I narrowly avoided running over their lush peach tree. After settling into our room, we made dinner reservations and enjoyed a truly unforgettable meal, just the two of us, as everyone else had ventured into town. We would have never made reservations, expecting someone just to cook for the two of us however , this truly was the most extraordinary meal and experience in Italy. We equally enjoyed the local cuisine, crafted from scratch, and the conversations we shared with Lorenzo. They transformed this B&B from a building dating back to the mid-1800s that had remained untouched since 1965. As you can see in the photos, it turned out magnificently. We will remember this particular stop on our road trip for years to come.

Close to train and dining. Friendly staff. Bed was comfortable. Lovely breakfast.
