Holiday apartment in Girasole – Wine, Castles and Excursions

Girasole is one of Strevi’s newer settlements along the former Strada Statale 30. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Girasole, Strevi, wine, food and excursions provide different focal points. The topics range from the origins of certain products to castles and parks, as well as routes through the surrounding area. This allows you to give varying emphasis to food and drink, culture and outdoor activities during your trip.

Girasole and the culinary links to Strevi

Twelve food products from Strevi may bear the De.C.O. mark awarded by the Comune di Strevi; De.C.O. stands for Denominazione Comunale di Origine. Strevi DOC is one of the acclaimed wines made from Moscato Bianco grapes, which are grown exclusively within the municipality of Strevi in the Province of Alessandria. For planning purposes, Strevi can therefore be considered a culinary focus, without equating the individual food products with the wine.

Castles and museum in the surrounding area

There are three castles in the vicinity of Girasole: Castello d'Orsara Bormida, Castello di Morsasco and Castello dei Paleologi. The Aecheological Civic Museum, a museum, is also located nearby. If you are interested in culture, you can therefore plan your stay around these specific names and classifications, without combining the destinations into a single attraction.

Parks and peaks in the wider region

The parks near Girasole include Parco del Castello and Terme di Acqui Terme. The peaks Le Ciazze and il Poggio are also located in the wider regional surroundings of Girasole. This creates a clear geographical distinction for planning your day: the parks are nearby, while the two peaks are part of the wider regional surroundings.

Excursions, tastings and cycling route

An excursion through the Valle Bagnario in Strevi includes a stop at Big Bench number 21 and a tasting at a winery on the Strada degli Aromatici. The 23rd Passeggiata Slow in the Valle dei Passiti includes six tasting stations along a route approximately 3 kilometres long. On a cycling route, the SS30 passes a group of residential buildings in the village of Girasole; the Via Acqui then climbs towards the centre of Strevi.

If you choose a holiday apartment in Girasole as your accommodation, you can organise your daily routine around these regional themes: Strevi DOC and De.C.O. food products represent food and drink, castles and the museum represent culture, parks and peaks represent different landscapes, and the excursion and cycling route represent physical activity.
