Are you dreaming of a peaceful and delightful trip and chose Piedmont as your destination? So, this post is for you!

Piedmont, in the north of Italy, is the land of good life. Here, everything is tranquility and nobility: the delicate flavors, the refined food, the history, the stunning landscapes, the time that unfolds unhurriedly. That is why the concept of slow food was born here.

Unlike Italy’s most visited cities and regions, Piedmont has fewer imposing monuments, fewer tourists and less rush. Your trip through Piedmont will be full of elegance, tranquility, landscapes, gastronomy and the highest level of wines. These are the region’s strengths. “Why to run?”, Piedmont seems to ask us, and it replies: “Life is better in small doses of great pleasures …”

For these and other reasons, Piedmont is one of the ideal Italian destinations for a romantic or gastronomic trip. How about start dreaming and planning this trip?
