Discover the surroundings of Casa Riggi
Agliano Terme
Agliano Terme is a small village of about 1650 inhabitants in the province of Asti. Although it is not a mass tourist destination, it retains an authentic and lively charm, thanks in part to the local "Barbera Agliano" association, which organizes events such as festivals, "Sunday in the Cellar," "Easter Walk," and "Barbera Unplugged."
In the center of the town, near the bakery, delicatessen, butcher's shop, tobacco shop, coffee shop, wine shop and some quality restaurants, there is also a bank, pharmacy and hairdresser. Agliano also boasts a lookout tower: by climbing about 60 steps, one can enjoy a magnificent 360-degree view of the surrounding hills.
The atmosphere in Agliano is relaxed and welcoming, and it is surrounded by excellent wine producers that you can visit for a unique experience. In addition, hiking and biking trails start directly from the village. We are happy to offer suggestions or guide you along the trails!

Shopping
If you love shopping, Piedmont has a lot to offer! You can find excellent opportunities in Asti, Alba, Nice and Canelli, but if you are looking for something more extensive, Milan is easily accessible. Turin, even closer, offers a wide variety of stores.
For those looking for more affordable prices, outlet stores are an ideal choice. The Serravalle outlet, about an hour from La Maggiorina, is a vast center with famous brands and restaurants.
For big cities, we recommend public transportation from Asti, as driving and parking in Milan or Turin can be complicated.
