Profile
|
The "Locanda del Sant'Uffizio" is a charming hotel deep in the heart of the Monferrato district, a hilly region long famous for its wine and food, with gastronomic traditions that reflect the true spirit of Piedmont. |
The seventeenth century structure, an ancient monastic centre, and later stronghold of the Inquisition, is still quite austere, retaining in its wide spaces the silence of its ancient origins. |
 The Locanda looks out onto a airy Italian garden, a splash of Mediterranean colour where the warm air is thick with the scent of lilies, dog roses and geraniums; and, climbing up the main façade, a magnificent ancient plant casts shade over the tables, arranged among the lemon and orange trees in their great pots. |
 "Cioccaro di Penango", the site of our hotel, is also an ideal starting point for the first outdoor trips, when the sunshine is a little warmer and the mists become lighter. Now guests can take a trip along the River Po, through the vineyards and fields beyond "Superga". "Monferrato" is a region with an illustrious tradition of wines and cuisine. |
