The Area & Excursions

La Giardina is positioned as an ideal gateway to Italy's Piedmont region for discovering its rich culture, food, and wine. Turin’s sophisticated splendors and attractions are just 30 minutes away, while the nearer towns of Chieri and Cambiano (both 10-minutes by car) offer charming restaurants, boutique shopping and stunning baroque churches.

The 75-year-old Balbiano Winery (15-minute drive) welcomes La Giardina guests warmly, while the renowned town of Asti, famous for its Spumante, is just 35 minutes away. Alba, home of world-class Barolo and Barbaresco wines, is just under an hour by car too.

Adventurers have endless possibilities for exploration with picturesque ski resorts 90 minutes to the north, and to the west lies the beautiful Ligurian coast and postcard-perfect Varigotti, Finale, Spotorno, Genova and Savona, all approximately 90-100 minutes by car.

With this abundance of attractions, events, museums, heritage sites, vineyards, and restaurants offering plenty of opportunities for delightful and memorable day trips, La Giardina offers comprehensive concierge services, including private car service and taxi arrangements, museum and tour bookings, certified guided tours, restaurant reservations and wine tours. We can also arrange for a private chef or catering company for larger groups and events.
