The Cascina Bricco is located in the small village of Olmo Gentile. With 120 inhabitants, the village is located in the province of Asti and surrounded by lovely valleys with impressive vineyards and hazelnut plantations. The view of the French Alps reveals the view of the Saracen Towers and Monte Viso.
Olmo Gentile is spread over many farms at an altitude of 650 meters above sea level. Even in summer, thanks to the sea breeze, this is what the bishops of Acqui Terme, who had their summer residence in Olmo Gentile, appreciated.
It is advantageous to have a car in the area, especially if you want to explore a lot. And some Italian, because mass tourism has not yet reached this area.
In the nearby shop in Roccaverano you can buy all things of daily needs. Among other things, there are also fresh bread rolls.
The restaurant “La Posta” about 500 meters from the Cascina Bricco invites you to linger with authentic Piedmontese cuisine. And if you do not want to prepare your own breakfast: from 8 clock there is by prior arrangement for an extra charge a rich breakfast in the restaurant.
