Presentation
Cantarana is the name of the village where we live. It spreads
for many kilometers around the little village centre, and is divided
into
small groups of houses and farms scattered on the surrounding hills
among woods and meadows and bound by paths sometimes possible only
on foot. The etymology of the name Cantarana indicates a "place with
plenty of water", in fact near the B&B there is the Bonoma spring which
supplies Asti with water. We (4 people, 1 dog and several cats) moved
to Cantarana
from Turin in 1995 and are living in that which was named the "Barber
house", an early twentieth-century Piedmontese farmhouse we restored.
Our B&B is the right place to relax
and enjoy nature as all around on the hills you can have beautiful sights
and niceexcursions
on foot or by bycicle or, why not, on horseback. It is also the ideal
starting-point for a cultural and wine/gastronomic visit of Southern
Piedmont.
In fact Cantarana is very close to the most famous wine producing areas
of Piedmont: Monferrato, Astigiano, Langhe and Roero, and we will indicate
you the best wine shops and wine producers of the zone.
The home-made bread and cakes and the products of the orchard
(possibly biological) or taken from the neighbouring farms will offer
you a natural and abundant breakfast that will be served in the wide terrace
during the warm season or otherwise in the comfortable breakfast-room
