"Piedmont is full of agriturismi — working farms that double as inns — but Casa Scaparone stands out for a few reasons. Perched on a quiet hilltop for the past 500 years, it’s home to the oldest house in the area. And it’s the only farm in Alba, considered Piedmont’s gourmet capital, that offers both a restaurant and a hotel. The property consists of a collection of restored brick and stone buildings set amid vineyards, hazelnut trees, and orchards overlooking the surrounding countryside." - Tablet Hotels
