17 Apr 2026 | B&B stay, farmer's day and cheese tasting in the province of Novara
It is nice to get away from the city and have a weekend in nature. It was a fun morning among the goats and chickens and it was nice and interesting to try a different craft. The tasting was excellent and also well stocked, all kinds of cheese were delicious. Very nice Riccardo and his staff.

Wonderful experience in the company of animals and in the midst of nature. Also very good were the guys at the riding stables who patiently explained everything to us and told us the donkeys' story

A wonderful walk in the company of the donkeys, Domenico and Mina, with Sofia our guide. Sofia is a really good guide/instructor who loves her job and the animals. It was all topped off with an excellent aperitif halfway through and ended with the donkey Mina really being a docile and sweet creature! A great experience!
