Golf Club La Margherita
La Margherita is one of the most solid contemporary golf references in the Turin area
La Margherita is one of the most solid contemporary golf references in the Turin area: a modern, well-maintained club designed to deliver quality golf for those living in or traveling through western Piedmont. The layout alternates straightforward holes with more strategic passages shaped by water and doglegs, keeping players engaged without making the round unduly punitive. That formula gives it broad appeal: stronger golfers find enough technical interest, while leisure travelers enjoy a fluent and visually clean experience. Compared with the region's older historic clubs, La Margherita expresses a more practical and contemporary form of luxury, one tied less to tradition and more to the overall quality of the day. For a Turin weekend that blends golf, food and perhaps a detour toward the Langhe or nearby hills, it is a very convincing choice. It does not seek to replace Piedmont's classic grandees, but to complement them with a reliable, modern and pleasantly approachable alternative.
Ottimo come seconda tappa piemontese dopo un club più storico: crea un itinerario più equilibrato e meno monotono sul piano dello stile di gioco.

Exclusive Experiences
Secrets found in no guidebook, curated by our concierge.
Cantina Contratto: le Cattedrali di Canelli
The Canelli cellars are UNESCO World Heritage as the first underground cathedrals of Italian sparkling wine. Cantina Contratto, founded in 1867, stores over 300,000 bottles of classic method in galleries carved into tuff rock 30 metres deep. The private tasting includes archive reserves from the 1970s.
“Ask about the 1967 Dry Asti: Contratto was the first Italian producer to vinify Asti as a dry wine. Perhaps 30 bottles remain: the director opens one per year for the most curious guests.”
Castello di Costigliole: la Torre dei Segreti
The Castle of Costigliole d'Asti housed Cesare Pavese as a teenager and preserves his original study with unfinished manuscripts. The 13th-century medieval tower is accessible only through the Municipality on request: from the summit you can see the entire pre-Alpine strip from Turin to the Maritime Alps.
“The castle library preserves original editions of all Pavese's novels with his own margin annotations. The municipal librarian organises evening readings in the tower by appointment.”
Relais San Maurizio: la Spa del Moscato
Relais San Maurizio occupies a 17th-century convent in Santo Stefano Belbo, in the heart of the Moscato d'Asti zone. The spa has developed an exclusive Vino e Lievito protocol using Moscato Canelli grape pomace for exfoliating treatments and winery yeast mud for draining wraps.
“The Relais sommelier manages a cellar of 4,000 bottles featuring every Moscato Canelli vintage since 1970: the 'vertical journey through time' is a unique oenological experience paired with spa treatments.”
Osteria Rabezzana — Il Tempo Fermo
A thoroughbred Torinese osteria where time stopped in the 1950s, and the tajarin al ragù still arrives wrapped in the scent of a Sunday lunch. Close-set tables, hushed voices, the wine list handwritten on yellowed paper. The kind of place locals guard jealously, well outside the gastro-tourist orbit.
“Arrive before 12:30 — tables go fast and last-minute reservations are rarely honoured.”
Abbazia di Vezzolano — L'Apparizione Romanica
Folded into the Monferrato hills, this 12th-century Romanesque abbey surfaces like a silent apparition, half-hidden by vegetation. Its carved interior rood screen is one of the overlooked masterpieces of Italian medieval art — hieratic figures watching you from eight centuries away. Rare to find a place so untouched by time thirty minutes from a major city.
“Go on a Wednesday morning — no school groups, no coaches, just birdsong drifting through the cloister.”
