From before we arrived the wonderful Alice was doing everything possible to make our stay a special one. Informing us that there’s is not a lot of places to eat in Monferrato sowe visited a supermarket and purchased supplies, breads, cheeses, tomatoes, salami, ham, olives, biscuits, juice and of course wine! The breakfast prepared for us by Alice was a beautiful simple Italian style that was more than adequate that we enjoyed in the shade under the trees in the garden. Idyllic! My partner, mother, father and I all loved this slow start each morning soaking up the summer mornings. We were there to try to find long lost family in the region but had no idea where to start. Within 5mins of checking in with Alice she had helped us connect us with all the right people. She is an amazing young woman who so generously helped us find what we were looking for and make our stay exceptional. We were all in awe of the beauty of the 1000yr old Castello we were fortunate enough to be staying in. The Castello is very quiet and at the end of the day we sat on the balcony overlooking a magnificent panorama of 12 villages laid out across the countryside. Drinking our wine listening to the cicadas buzzing, doves cooing, roosters crowing and the bells randomly ringing out from the church tower on the hot balmy Sunday afternoon. We then strolled down the street to the local pub for dinner. It serves beautiful food, including a dessert Bunet that my Nona made and we’d not had for many years. It can be very busy so it is a good idea to book. We very much hope to get back there to visit some day. Thank you so much to Alice for our wonderful stay.

Castello di Frassinello is a XVIII noble residence once home of the Nemours Counts. It's a fascinating place, yet a little decadent which adds even more charm to it. Surrounded by a honour courtyards and a garden, very plesant in the warm days. Rooms are large and beds comfortable, breakfast was kind of poor but this is the only lack we could find. Don't expect a five star hotel service, even if we are talking of a castle, this is a no frills accommodation at budget price. We've been here in May while touring by bicycle across the Monferrato, and we were able to safely store them for the night in a closed room.

There is something magical about staying in an 11th century castle. The fresco's throughout the castle are incredible. Each room tells a different story. Our stay included breakfast which was the typical European style breakfast which includes lots of cakes, cookies, juices and coffee They will gladly provide you with some cold cuts and sliced cheese upon your request. If you are gluten intolerant bring your own bread and they will gladly toast it for you. Also included a tour of property along with some wine tasting and some samples of their home made products like jams and cold cuts. Keep in mind that this is a sampling tour and not an all you can eat buffet. We totally enjoyed our unique and wonderful stay.

A nice place to stay but no one seems to know anything. No English is spoken and no one seems to try. Your basically on your own. We arrived on a Monday night and nothing was open for dinner. No one told us where to go they just shrugged their shoulders at us. We eventually drive to Alessandria to find a drink and meal. Magical place but as I said you are on your own. Also in summer the rooms are so hot, not a ctritisism but observation.
