If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Agliano, you will encounter a place shaped by harmonious vineyard-covered slopes, hill routes, cultural sites and a thermal history. The vineyard landscape follows regular, harmonious slopes and forms an orderly pattern across the hills. This combination of landscape, paths and culture makes Agliano a destination that you can explore in different ways, depending on the focus you want for your holiday.

Vineyards, circular trails and hill routes

The six hill routes of Agliano Terme are 36 kilometres long in total and include sections through hamlets as well as wineries of Barbera producers. The Percorso della Barbera comprises five colour-coded circular trails through vineyards and cherry orchards. The countryside around Agliano Terme can be explored on foot, on horseback or by bicycle. This creates a varied mix of wine country, physical activity and different trail sections for days spent on holiday together. Even if you do not want to spend all your days being active, this landscape theme can be easily combined with the cultural character of the town.

Holiday apartment in Agliano: culture in the townscape

The parish church of San Giacomo Apostolo was built around the middle of the 16th century in the Gothic style. The Church of San Michele was built in the final years of the 17th century and the early years of the 18th century. It has been deconsecrated and is now used as a multifunctional cultural centre. Both buildings represent different historical layers and give a visit to the town a clear cultural focus.

The Torre dell'Acquedotto is a reconstruction of the tower of Agliano Terme's old castle, which was destroyed in the 17th century. The Torre dell'Acquedotto is also a viewpoint. BAart, a cultural centre in Agliano Terme, opened on 21 May 2022. Thus, in Agliano, both older architectural history and a more recent cultural venue are part of the range of discoveries.

Thermal history and location

A thermal spring in Agliano Terme was discovered in a field around 1770. In 2022, Fons salutis was one of two active thermal facilities in Agliano Terme. The Fons-Salutis facility is located on Via alle Fontane in the countryside just beyond the historic centre of Agliano Terme. As a result, the townscape extends from the historic centre into the surrounding countryside and encompasses a distinct thermal theme alongside vineyards and culture.

When choosing your holiday apartment in Agliano, this range of experiences can determine the focus of your holiday. If you enjoy spending time outdoors, plan your days around the hill routes, circular trails and vineyard landscape. When different interests come together, San Giacomo Apostolo, San Michele, the Torre dell'Acquedotto and BAart offer cultural themes for additional days. The thermal history adds another perspective on the town to your stay.
