Farmhouse Cascina Madonna

Cascina Madonna is an agriturismo established in Refrancore, in the province of Asti, at the heart of the Piedmontese Monferrato hills, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2014. The old farm structure, built in brick in the typical rural architectural style of Piedmont, houses both guest rooms and a restaurant centered on local peasant cuisine. Table service, provided in an intimate setting, draws on regional recipes executed with precision, without superfluous presentation effects. The wine list offers a carefully curated selection of regional appellations — Barbera d'Asti, Grignolino, Freisa — at prices consistent with the establishment's value-for-money positioning. With 1,887 Google reviews and an average rating of 4.8/5, footfall is steady and reservations are essential, particularly for the restaurant. The property is located about fifteen kilometers from Asti and less than an hour's drive from Alba, two hubs of the Langhe and Monferrato appellations. The immediate surroundings consist of vineyards and rolling hills, crossed by the Piedmontese wine routes. The agriturismo package includes accommodation with breakfast and access to the estate's dining table. The rooms, few in number in keeping with the establishment's family model, are integrated into the original farm building. The whole operates as a working farm rather than a converted guesthouse, which is the central positioning of Cascina Madonna.
