Genoa is the closest airport to our inn located in Levice (about a 45 min. drive to Barolo). The airport code is GOA. The airport name in Italian is Aeroporto di Genova also referred to as Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport.

Cengio is the closest train station to our Inn, Barbaia in Levice.  I'll meet you at the train station and shuttle you to our inn (a 30 min. drive).

At the Genoa airport (GOA) there is a shuttle bus that leaves every 15 minutes from the front of the terminal to the Sestri Ponente train station. The bus stop for the train station is on the opposite side of the tracks from the station and is accessible by a pedestrian bridge (accessed by stairs and elevator).

Trains run every hour.  It is not necessary to buy your ticket a head of time. In the event you purchase a train ticket ahead of time online, it covers the bus shuttle.

Like our Piedmont, in Italy, this refers to the foothills of the mountains (alps).  The area is made up of rolling hills covered with vineyards, hazelnut groves, wheat fields, forests, creeks and rivers. This is a great area for cycling on quiet county roads. The wine from the Barolo area has the reputation of being: The Wine of Kings and/or The King of Wines!  This region lays claim to the "Slow Food Movement".  After a few home cooked meals you'll understand and may have a new appreciation for Piemontese Cuisine aka Piedmontese.

Barolo is the epicenter for 11 wine communes in the region. There are numerous family owned wineries.  There is the Barolo Wine Museum and Cork Screw Museum as well as several tasting rooms.

Let's just say that you'll be glad that you are on an E-bike.  Lots of rolling hills with medium climbs and descents. What goes up . . .

Our Bed & Breakfast aka Inn aka Agriturismo, is called Barbaia.  It's a 17th century farmhouse with WIFI and very nice indoor plumbing!
