Golf Club Cherasco
Set between the rolling Langhe landscape and the more open spaces of the Cuneo plain
Set between the rolling Langhe landscape and the more open spaces of the Cuneo plain, Golf Club Cherasco combines scenic ease with a sound and enjoyable layout. The course unfolds harmoniously, with generous fairways that are never entirely straightforward and a setting that naturally invites travelers to build a wider itinerary around golf, wine, food and the villages of Piedmont. This is one of those clubs that can satisfy different audiences at once: regular golfers appreciate the flow of the course, leisure travelers value its calm and understated elegance, and groups of friends find it easy to integrate into a gastronomic long weekend. The challenge comes less from punitive hazards than from the need to stay engaged through the round and execute approach shots with consistency. Cherasco is a very convincing choice for anyone wanting to discover a less publicized but highly rewarding side of golf in Piedmont, especially when approached as part of a broader regional experience rather than as an isolated tee time.
Abbinalo a una cena importante nelle Langhe: è uno di quei club che rendono di più quando il viaggio continua anche fuori dal campo.

Exclusive Experiences
Secrets found in no guidebook, curated by our concierge.
Giacomo Conterno: il Monfortino Segreto
Giacomo Conterno's Barolo Riserva Monfortino is considered by Decanter the greatest Barolo ever made. Roberto Conterno vinifies only in perfect vintages and the wine releases only after 7 years in barrel. The winery accepts private visits by personal invitation: you taste the barrel vintages alongside those already bottled.
“Roberto Conterno does not respond to emails: you must write a physical letter to the winery explaining your relationship with Barolo. Those who know the difference between Cascina Francia and Arione stand a good chance of receiving a reply.”
Castello di Serralunga: Cena tra i Conti
The Castle of Serralunga d'Alba is one of the rare intact 14th-century Visconti castles in Piedmont: the main tower stands 40 metres tall and is visible from all the Langhe. The castle consortium organises private dinners in the count's apartments with wines from Serralunga producers paired with dishes from ancient Savoyard cuisine.
“The castle's archivist preserves 14th-century account books listing the vineyards, the growers' names, and wine prices: the same Barolo terroirs documented 700 years ago.”
Terme di Lurisia: le Acque di Curie
Marie Curie personally identified the Lurisia springs as the most radioactive in Europe in 1928: their natural radon radioactivity has therapeutic properties for the respiratory and cardiovascular systems documented by decades of medical research. The thermal centre offers private radon hydrotherapy protocols in the 13th-century white granite pool.
“Doctor Ferrero, the medical director, accepts private patients at 7:30 AM before opening: the protocol of three consecutive immersions in the Lurisia spring has documented effects on chronic inflammation.”
Osteria Boccondivino — La Cucina che ha Cambiato il Mondo
A few kilometres from Cherasco, in the heart of Bra, this osteria is the founding home of Carlo Petrini's Slow Food movement — not merely a restaurant, but the place where it was decided that food deserved dignity. The menu follows the seasons with almost monastic rigour — tajarin with duck ragù, Piemontese mixed fry, cheeses from the Granda — and every dish traces a supply chain whose names you can actually know. The room is unfussy; the wine list is chosen with the same care as the ingredients.
“Sit at the counter and ask verbally what's off-menu: the unwritten daily specials are often the finest thing in the kitchen.”
Abbazia di Staffarda — Il Chiostro Cistercense
Founded in 1135 by the Cistercians at the edge of the Cuneo plain, the Abbey of Staffarda is one of the best-preserved medieval buildings in Piedmont — and almost entirely ignored by tour operators. The fourteenth-century cloister filters afternoon light until the brickwork seems to glow from within; the church carries the austere sobriety that Bernard of Clairvaux would have approved. Around it: wheat fields and poplars, no crowds, no gift shop.
“Come around 5 pm in summer — the low golden light raking across the portico columns is one of the quietest and most beautiful scenes in the entire province.”
