Agliano Terme Village

A gentle stroll to Agliano Terme follows ancient paths between rows of Barbera vines, arriving at a village that operates on rhythms unchanged for centuries. Morning might find you among locals at the village café, afternoon at a family winery where three generations work together among the vines. These aren't attractions to check off a list, but moments of connection that form the true luxury of slow travel.

Local Wine Families

Within walking distance of Villa Mucci, you'll find numerous family wineries where Barbera has been cultivated for generations. These intimate tasting experiences often take place in centuries-old cellars where the winemaker personally pours each glass, sharing stories that connect the wine to the specific hillside visible through the window. We're happy to arrange introductions to these guardians of tradition.

Thermal Waters

Agliano Terme takes its name from the therapeutic mineral waters that have drawn visitors since Roman times. The village's thermal baths offer a different kind of immersion in local culture—one where the earth itself provides restoration through waters rich in natural minerals.

"At Villa Mucci, we've created a retreat where the rhythm of vineyard life and the comfort of thoughtful design coexist in perfect harmony, allowing our guests to reconnect with themselves and the timeless beauty of Piemonte."

Day Trips & Discoveries

Venture beyond Agliano Terme to discover historic towns, prestigious wine regions and cultural treasures, each revealing a different facet of Piemonte's rich heritage.

Alba

A scenic drive brings you to the medieval towers of Alba, rising above what becomes the world's truffle capital each autumn. Between October and December, the scent of white truffles permeates the narrow streets, drawing connoisseurs from around the world to this otherwise unassuming town. The Saturday market transforms the central piazza into a pageant of regional abundance.

Asti

A brief journey away, Asti invites you to wander cobblestone streets that lead to unexpected courtyards and small shops where artisans practice crafts passed through generations. The imposing Gothic cathedral serves as a reminder of the city's historical importance, while the September Palio—a bareback horse race predating Siena's more famous version—reveals the spirited local culture.

Barolo & Barberesco

A lovely countryside drive brings you to the hills of Barolo, which reveal themselves differently in each season—lush green in spring, golden at harvest, and stark with winter beauty when mist settles into valleys between prestigious vineyards. The small village of La Morra offers perhaps the most breathtaking panoramic view in all of Piedmont, a natural terrace from which the entire wine region unfolds before you.

Beyond our doorstep, the charm of Agliano Terme's village life lies within a gentle stroll, while historic towns like Alba, Asti and Barolo await just a short drive away. Each season transforms these experiences, with Spring's tender green vines giving way to Summer's local evening festivals, Autumn's golden harvest rituals, and Winter's mist-shrouded tranquility. Whether you seek the truffle-hunting thrill of October or the vineyard awakening of April, Villa Mucci becomes your gateway to a Piemonte that reveals itself differently with each visit, each season, each returning journey.

"The hills of Piedmont produce some of Italy's most prestigious wines. Barbaresco and Barolo, made from the Nebbiolo grape, represent the pinnacle of Italian winemaking, while Barbera delivers everyday pleasure with remarkable depth."

"The vineyard landscapes of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato constitute an outstanding example of human interaction with the environment. These centuries-old traditions have created a landscape of exceptional beauty reflecting a deep relationship between people and place."

"In Piemonte, wine is never separate from food - both are expressions of the same cultural heritage. This region gave birth to the Slow Food movement, reminding us that pleasure and responsibility are inseparable aspects of authentic gastronomy."
