Activities
We hare happy to arrange and organize various activities and sports during your stay at Casa Nuova, like Italy tours on a bike, Italy tours on foot, Italy tours of golfing or Italy tours of horse riding.
Biking
We like to define and suggest four different types of biking tours, depending on what your emphasis is.
Biking in style
These Italy tours are designed for those who want to bike in a relaxed and comfortable way, enjoying the countryside, the most beautiful scenery, cafes and wineries in cloths that fit the occasion. We have mapped out such routs and provide you with a guide, or a cellular phone and a GPS, with the rest points at cafes, cantina and restaurants worth visiting, marked on the map and noted of your arrival. We will drive you to the start point and pick you up at the end point. We will be available to you by phone if help or guidance is needed. The routs will be with minimal up-hill going, but mainly at a level altitude or downhill. The majority of the roedes selected will be paved and with little traffic. For those who need, or do not want to sweat to much, we suggest an electric bike to make the trip more enjoyable. These type of tours are perfect for couples and group of women and/or men who want to combine biking and wine tasting in addition to relaxing and enjoying, old towns, cafes and restaurants.
Biking with children
For safety and comfort we have especially mapped out safe, open easy routs for the younger family members allowing them to enjoy bicycling with their parents in the beautiful countryside without having to worry to much about the traffic, blind turns or obscured view of the road. Along the way there will be exciting small villages, castles and towers for them to explore.
On- and off-road biking
These Italy tours are meant for those who want to put extra emphasis on the biking with some physical challenges when it comes both to the distances, the selected tracks and changes in altitude. These tours can still be integrated with visits to local producers of wine and cheeses a long the way and rest stops at restaurants or farms for reloading one’s batteries with real Piedmont country food. For these tours a guide is recommended.
Racer biking
If you are into street biking on racer bikes, Italy is the right place. Italy is the number one in number of cyclists and our neighborhood offers plenty of long routs and all the hills you want and need for increasing your power and endurance. We recommend a guide for these tours.
Trekking – Hiking Italy Tours
Endless possibilities of hiking between vineyards, up and down rolling hills or along the hills or in the valleys, between towns, cafes and restaurants, farmers and wine producer who will welcome you with their produce. Routs and difficulty levels to fit everyone. For hikes off the beaten tracks we recommend a guide. Guided hiking Italy tours in Cinque Terra can also be arranged with drop-off and pickup.
Horse riding
Our neighbor runs a horse riding business and can take you riding along the Val Bormida hills.
Shopping
Nearby towns like Acque Terme, Nizza Monferrato, Asti and Alba have multiple fashion stores, including many of the famous Italian designers like Armani, Dolci & Gabbana, Prada just to mention few. Then there are all the weekly markets, and if this is not enough, Europe’s largest outlet with 180 stores, including the Italian designer stores, is only hour and a half away at Serravalle Scrivia. http://www.mcarthurglen.it/serravalle/en/brands
