North Italy holiday: Piemonte a room with a view: 12-13 June

view from one of the terraces of our penthouse in Piemonte

Sunday, 12 June
We left Verona in the rain and headed to Piemonte with a bypass to Pavia, where we visited the Certosa di Pavia. A bit disappointing coz at the monastery/church we were pushed into a sort of group with a nasty very loud female guide, who only spoke Italian and who kept shouting 'NO pictures', blerghh.

Certosa di Pavia 


one gets tired

our house for the coming days QB apartments in Montelupo Albese  

apartment no. 9 the penthouse (we got an upgrade)

QB apartments were designed and built by the owner who is an architect. All ecological friendly and the interior design of the apartment is very modern. Moreover it's brand new (not all finished). We love it here, and therefore decided to stay another night (up to and including Wednesday, 15 June).

In the evening we had a great dinner at trattoria La Coccinella in Serravalle Langhe. Yummie food of the region, loved it. 


The Barolo wine we had at this trattoria we liked both, coz unlike most Barolo wines it hardly has any tannin and also is low in acidity. So we made an appointment and on Tuesday visited this winery :-)
