1. Top of our recommendation for anyone are trips to mineral spas. This excursion will give you and your body a chance to refresh. Demands of our modern lifestyle is really taking a toll on our bodies. We need to take extra care of our health. Ideal for celebrating a birthday, wedding anniversary or a romantic getaway.

Biella Outdoor offers bicycle tours, hiking, camping, horse riding and golfing. Great for sharing with the kids and teaching them about nature.

 

 

3. Just for the experience of living in a private cascina in beautiful wine growing Asti so you can explore Monferrato region at ease. Sample Piedmont Italy wines at some of our well known Vineyards.
