Description
Bed & Tours, a country residence in a rural hamlet located directly on Provincial Road 46, a strategic route connecting the provinces of Asti and Alessandria - is the ideal stopover for sports tourists, cycle, motorcyclists, and hikers. Its location allows guests to explore routes winding through vineyards, hazelnut groves, and sunflower fields - spanning both plains and hills - while following the course of the Belbo river.
It also serves as a convenient base for participants in sporting events at nearby equestrian centers, stables, and the local go-kart track.
The property offers ample, free, private on-site parking, including space for large vehicles.
Guests can stay for just a single night and take advantage of various amenities: bike charging and repair facilities; secure, covered storage for motorcycles and bicycles; access to basic maintenance tools; suggestions for alternative routes; and flexible check-in and check-out times.
Each room features a private bathroom and is stocked with all necessary personal care items, so guests don't have to weigh down their luggage.
During the week, stays are generally room-only or with early light sport breakfast, while on weekends, guests can enjoy breakfast in the vintage-style kitchen or outdoors beneath the trees.
The garden is a Mediterranean-style oasis featuring cypress and olive trees, palms, lavender, and aromatic herbs, along with seating areas shaded by umbrellas and illuminated by lanterns and candles—an ideal spot for reading and unwinding. The property provides a tourist guide offering ideas for car, walking, cycling, and motorcycle tours to explore the area, as well as food and wine recommendations to help guests taste the best of the Monferrato and Langhe regions.
We offer
Parking: Free, on-site.
Security: Covered bike storage, accessible only to guests.

The B&B is run by Marilena, a tour guide specialized in local marketing who takes pride in her exceptional region, which boasts a unique, understated charm recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. A deep expert in the wine landscapes of Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato—her native land—she inherited from her Tuscan mother a passion for hospitality, conviviality, and initiative.
As a nature photographer and hiker, Marilena has been honored as a “Master of Hospitality” by the project “After UNESCO, I Act!” initiated by the Culture and Tourism Department of the Piedmont Region to recognize individuals who stand out with creative initiatives and actions in their territory. A member of the Slow Food community, she offers refined, creative, and cultural hospitality in her charming home in Monferrato, always maintaining a warm and genuine family atmosphere, along with tailored tourist services based on the tastes and needs of her guests.
In 2023, she received the recognition of “Entrepreneur of Kindness” from the National Network of Kindness Entrepreneurs. She is well-equipped to recommend the best cultural, artistic, historical, and gourmet itineraries in Piedmont.
The core values upheld by Bed & Tours include a love for nature, environmental awareness, respect for the ecosystem, maintaining balance, and animal protection.
We are guardians of our habitat, defending nature and every species that inhabits it, with extensive knowledge of the plants and animals in this diverse region of forests, vineyards, and hazelnut groves.
You will have access to expertise and guidance to connect with nature and engage with our unique landscape, rich in biodiversity.

Bed&Tours was conceived by Marilena, a tour guide who has redefined the traditional notion of hospitality typical of bed and breakfasts, introducing a new concept of "sleep and explore." This approach allows visitors to uncover the most authentic secrets of Monferrato, a region abundant with opportunities for a refreshing vacation, encompassing wine, gastronomy, breathtaking landscapes, and historical, cultural, and natural sites, as well as charming, lesser-known corners.
Located near the famous Langhe area, Monferrato is currently experiencing a vibrant period, attracting discerning travelers drawn by its tranquility, the modesty of its residents, and a picturesque landscape that is still partially uncharted.
Marilena warmly welcomes you into her home and, from morning to night, shares her thirty years of experience in the tourism industry and her passion for her homeland, ultimately helping you fall in love with it.
Equally valuable are the travel tips, local shopping destinations, a map of restaurants, wine bars, and shops in the area, along with an always-updated events calendar.
It is worth noting that the establishment is also ideal for business travelers, providing every comfort and professionalism.
Nestled in the small agricultural village of Castelnuovo Belbo, along the banks of the Belbo stream, in the heart of a dense network of cycling routes on the "Wine Road" along S.P. 46 between the provinces of Asti and Alessandria, it is very close to the main roadways and conveniently located near the ASTI Ovest and ALESSANDRIA Sud highway exits, making it a strategic location for planning and embarking on the best itineraries and excursions in Monferrato and the Langhe, with the expertise of a professional tour guide.
It's easy to understand why it received UNESCO recognition in June 2014: gentle hills stretching as far as the eye can see, and a fertile terroir that yields exceptional fruits and products.

Host very friendly, down-to-earth and welcoming. The farmhouse is very beautiful. Rooms are comfortable and cozy. A nice touch: there is also a small above-ground pool with a whirlpool. I would come back.

A charming, old-fashioned place. If you want to spend a few days relaxing, away from the hustle and bustle, this is the right place.
