So we decided to go to the discovery of the typical Italian atmosphere.<\/h3>\n<p>Italy is a country full of magic and enchanting places that attract travelers from all over the world. The richness of this\u00a0country is not confined to museums, big cities, great masterpieces and art works, but also in the intangible beauty that lives in the small or large villages of the peninsula.<\/p>\n<p>3 Villages: one in the North, one in the Center and one in the South: this is the journey we want to tell you about today.

Its red roofed stone houses overlook the beautiful alleys, the Clock Tower, that is the last testimony of the castle, overlooks the Old Town.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What to eat<\/strong>: the intense aromas of the wines of Neive, which are Barbaresco, Barbera, Moscato and Dolcetto wines, accompany the typical dishes of the Langhe. We tasted tajarin with truffles, egg noodles seasoned with white truffle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where to\u00a0stay<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/IT-cuneo\/bed-breakfast\/gilda-e-i-suoi-amici\/jjD3j\" target=\"_blank\">Gilda e i suoi amici<\/a><\/strong> is a welcoming eco-friendly Bed &amp; Breakfast located in an old stone house, surrounded by greenery and a short walk from the center of Neive.

Our visit start in\u00a0Castle Square, the oldest nucleus of the village where you can breathe the medieval atmosphere. We also see the Church of St. George, dating back to the 14th century; and then we discover the city wall.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What to eat<\/strong>: the specialty of this village is <em>acquacotta<\/em>, vegetable soup with onion, celery and tomato and a fresh egg.
