Holiday apartment in Mirabello Monferrato: trails, history and cuisine in your travel plans

The Sentiero Mirabello–Pieve di San Giovanni begins in the town center at Piazza della Libertà and passes close to the Madonna della Neve chapel. It follows a gravel path between cultivated fields and joins Trail 602, which comes from San Salvatore Monferrato. The Sentiero Pieve San Giovanni–Mirabello is a scenic trail; it begins near the Pieve di San Giovanni in Mediliano, leads through the countryside and reaches Mirabello Monferrato. This allows you to include different types of trails in your daily plans.

Topography between the hill and open countryside

The oldest part of Mirabello lies on a small hill in a depression bordered by the Garavalde and Campostrina streams. This clearly defined topography complements the open countryside along the trails with a historic townscape. When choosing your holiday apartment, you can therefore consider whether local history, walks or rural impressions are particularly important to you.

Historical landmarks and churches

The Pieve di San Giovanni in Mediliano was built between the 7th and 9th centuries. An imperial charter from 1083 referred to the fortified settlement of Mirabello as a “castellum.” The Codice degli Statuti dates from 1463; the Codice dei Catasti is among the oldest of its kind in Piedmont. The parish church of San Vincenzo dates from the 17th century. The church of San Michele Arcangelo stands next to the old castle tower. Castello di Baldesco is privately owned. The church of Santa Caterina and the Antica Fornace on the road to Lu are also privately owned.

Piedmontese flavors and local traditions

Local specialties include “Bagnet dal du Furnas,” a De.Co. food product associated with Mirabello. It is a green sauce served cold and well suited to Piedmontese boiled meat. “Bagna ‘d Crivela” is a sweeter version of “Bagna Cauda,” made with oil, anchovies and onions.
