Full description
If you're reading this, it's because you have a great nose for weekend getaways!
Enjoy an experiential one-night stay in a rural farmhouse amidst the Monferrato landscape: the package includes overnight stay in a fully equipped flat, breakfast with homemade products and a fun truffle hunt for two.
And, if your nose is not enough, Zara and Yuma will help you in your search for the white truffle!
What we will do
Check-in is from 3 p. m. to 8 p. m. at the farmhouse in Lerma (AL), nestled in the hills of Alto Monferrato. On arrival you will be welcomed by the owners and accompanied to your independent accommodation, created in an old rural house renovated respecting the original materials.
You will stay in a flat with a double bedroom, private bathroom with shower and a kitchen equipped with fridge and gas hob. You will have linen, towels, courtesy kit, hairdryer, washing machine, TV, air conditioning/heating, Wi-Fi, as well as a terrace and garden where you can relax.
In the morning, a breakfast of homemade bread, butter and jams, fresh eggs and homemade cakes will await you.
Your stay will also include a truffle-hunting experience, which you can do on the day of your arrival or departure, arranged directly with the hotel. On this adventure you will be accompanied by a truffle hunter and his two pointer hounds, Zara and Yuma. You will reach the truffle ground, about a 10-minute walk from the farmstead: during the search, the trifolao will explain how truffles are born and the characteristics of the environment and vegetation that favour their growth.
The moment of the search and collection will be the most exciting! If you are lucky, you will be able to find white truffles typical of these areas of Monferrato, with the possibility of buying them at the end of the activity. The experience will last approximately 2 hours.
Check-out is expected by 10. 30 a. m.

The activity is intended for two persons over 18 years of age.
The facility is not wheelchair accessible.
