Poggio Maria Piedmont is located in the municipality of Melazzo, a small village with a castle.. Due to Poggio Maria's location on top of a hill ('Poggio' means 'hill'), with clear weather you can see the French and Ligurian Alps. On both sides you'll find the valleys of the Erro and Bormida rivers. At night you will enjoy all the twinkling lights and during summer evenings the reward of a breathtaking sunset....

The location of the holiday villa is perfect if you want to spent your holiday on the Italian country side on one hand and want to be close to vibrant and lively villages and cities to visit during the day or evening on the other hand. A week is too short!

You’ll find yourself wishing for more time at this holiday home... Villages such as Acqui Terme (see photo left of Acqui Terme by night), Nizza Monferrato, Sassello, and Monastero Bormida are well worth a visit. The region is renowned for its delicious food (slow food) and wines. Il Giardinetto (Sessame), Angolo Davino (Acqui Terme), and Tre Colline (Bubbio) are just a few of our favorite dining spots ... Paola, the chef at Tre Colline, can cook at the Poggio Maria holiday home on request during the week—perfect for when you’d rather just stay in. Guide Giuseppe offers cycling and hiking tours in the Barolo and Monferrato areas. You can rent rugged e-bikes from our Dutch neighbor, Aad, for beautiful rides across the hills.

Last but not least, we have a succesful collab with Cristiana, a professional masseuse from Melazzo, and she often comes to Poggio Maria to give the guests on request a sports, relaxing or ayurvedic massage. We are also experts by experience ourselves, she's great!
