Apartment in Villa: Castello, Pieve and RBT stages

Anyone looking for an apartment in Villa can plan their stay around two clear focal points: the Villa district of Monticello d'Alba connects Castello di Monticello d'Alba at Via San Ponzio 2 with the Pieve di San Ponzio in the district's cemetery. At the same time, RBT Stage 04 ends in Villa near the Church of San Bernardino.

Castello di Monticello d'Alba and its avenues

The park of Castello di Monticello d'Alba has three parallel avenues that can still be walked today. They lead to the manor house and circle the hill. This makes the estate tangible through both its paths and its topographical form. QR codes are installed at various points of interest in Castello di Monticello d'Alba and throughout the park areas. Guided tours for groups and educational workshops for school classes or groups are available by reservation.

Pieve di San Ponzio and cultural destinations

The Pieve di San Ponzio is located in the cemetery of the Villa district and preserves Roman remains. It also preserves early Romanesque frescoes from the first half of the 11th century. The Roman traces and the 11th-century frescoes give this site two clearly distinct historical reference points that you can combine on a cultural trip.

Several destinations with different names and functions are located around Villa: Palazzo Traversa is a museum, Palazzo Mathis is a palace, Palazzo Comunale is also a palace, and Artecontemporanea di G.Dalpozzo & D.Coffa is a museum. Area Verde Giovanni Falcone Paolo Borsellino is also another specific destination for travel planning in the vicinity of Villa, as it is a garden.

Landscape and RBT Stage 05

In the wider regional surroundings of Villa, the Arco Trionfale is a natural arch. Parco Cascina Vigna is also a park in the wider regional surroundings of Villa. Parco Biberach Ander Riss is likewise a park in the wider regional surroundings of Villa.

RBT Stage 05 runs along a ridge through a sunny area characterized by vineyards, with views opening onto the castle of Monticello. The route initially follows the SP 241 and then continues along a slightly ascending country road that soon becomes gravel. When preparing for the cycling day stage, the change in surface, the slight incline and the gravel section that follows later can therefore be considered separately; the SP 241 marks the beginning of this route. When choosing an apartment in Villa, the desired combination of Castello, Pieve, museums, palaces, gardens, parks and RBT stages may therefore be the deciding factor. You can decide whether the focus of your stay should be more on culture or on a landscape-oriented stage.
