Cascina 47 is situated a short distance from San Donato (Mango) in the southern Piedmont. The high vantage point (�600m) of this small village guarantees a beautiful panorama with the Alps forming a spectacular backdrop to the rolling hills of the Langhe and Roero.
The area is still relatively unknown outside of Italy. Here you can still enjoy the countryside as it has been for centuries, cherished and respected by its population. Many famous Italian wines such as the Barolo and Barbaresco are produced in this area. Not only lovers of good food & wine will enjoy this area, within a range of 50 km there are seven 18 hole and a number of 9 hole golf courses. Nature lovers can hike along the many officially designated footpaths and enjoy the abundant wildlife.

What to do in the area - Food and wine Food & Wine
The Southern Piedmont is dotted with numerous small villages with castles, churches or convents that can be seen from afar. A number of stately homes open their doors and gardens during the summer months.
Mango has a beautiful castle. Inside you will find a restaurant and the Enoteca Regionale for wine tasting.
The villages of Barolo and Barbaresco - famous worldwide for their wines - are within a short driving distance. Not surprisingly in an area famous for its wines, good food is just as important and a stone throw away. ‘Foodies’ will find themselves in heaven; The Slow Food movement did not originate for nothing in this part of the Piedmont.
You will find numerous Michelin star, and family run restaurants to pizzerias within a fifteen minute drive.
Different wine and food festivities are organised from Easter until early December.
During the summer months the villages organise their own smaller fete.
What to do in the area - Golf and other outdoors activities Golf
A total of seven 18 hole golf courses and a number of challenging 9 hole golf courses, within a radius of 50 km, should be able to satisfy the average golfer.
Walking, cycling, riding and far more
The bureau of tourism has set out a number of local tours that can be done on foot, by (mountain) bike or on horse back, which will take you through beautiful countryside. Other outdoor activities from rafting to paragliding are also available.
Beach
A day at the seaside in the charming old town of Noli, (about one hour’s drive) will let you experience how unspoiled the Mediterranean still can be.
Tip: Combine your day at the beach with a visit to Savona (10 minutes from Noli)
What to do in the area - Arts and 'Day Trips' Art, music and theatre
Particularly during the summer months cultural events are held all over Southern Piedmont.
Day trips
Turin - Milan - Genoa
With the new motorway Alba - Asti completed, which connects to the A 21, a day trip to Turin, Milan or Genoa has been made even easier. Whilst Milan and Genoa are better known, we have not met anybody who was not more than pleasantly surprised by Turin (one hour to the centre of town).
Alba - Asti - Aqui Terme and many more
Three totally different provincial towns, dating back to different eras are worth visiting for their architecture. Shopping here is also very good, though on a smaller scale than in the above mentioned cities. All famous Italian brands - some even have their own shops - can be found in these towns. The large Saturday market in Alba - famous for its white truffle - is also worth a visit. The smaller town of Neive has been promoted to “one of the hundred most beautiful villages of Italy”
Why is Lupain Holiday Rentals the only holiday rental company to verify the ownership of holiday accommodation? Research has shown that not all advertisers are genuine. There have been cases where people have booked holiday accommodation only to find out it does not exist.
This sort of ‘scam’ is hard to comprehend but these days fraudsters are coming up with ever more imaginative ways of obtaining money by deception from innocent people like you. We do not want holidaymakers who book with us to fall victim to this type of scheme. Money is mostly hard earned we know, so taking a holiday is usually a major expense. In addition, we do not want you to remember us for a shattered dream.
Therefore, in order to protect you we have introduced our Owner Verification Scheme. We ask all holiday home advertisers to submit proof that they own the property they are advertising. Only when we are satisfied that an advertiser and their property is genuine do we add our Green Shield to their property advert. Apart from being a deterrent, it also encourages advertisers to make sure they verify their property, giving you peace of mind when you make your booking.
If you want to make a booking look for the Green Shield on the top right of the property advert, if you do not see our Green Shield it may mean we have not yet completed the verification process. We normally complete this process within a few days if no verification is forthcoming the advert is removed.
We take this Owner Verification Scheme very seriously for your protection. If you have any doubts about the validity of an advert or misrepresentation please contact us with your concerns.
Please note, Lupain Holiday Rentals does not verify the advertisement content placed on this website by property owners, nor do we offer any guarantee as to the correctness of the advertising information placed on this website by third parties.
