La Mussia was begun as a farm and for eleven years, as an Agriturismo.

La Mussia is managed by the Piccatto/Toso family with respect for local traditions and invites you to enjoy an experience not found in other sites within the Asti region.

It is situated among the towns and villages of the region and well steeped in the beauty of the area and the animals that reside on the farm.

Agriturismo La Mussia is situated in the heart of the Monferrato, famous for the production of Barbera d'Asti and is easily reached by exiting the toll road on Asti Est.

We are located 20 kilometers from Asti, 25 from Acqui Terme and 35 from Alba.

We have ten rooms (all with private bath and television) decorated in the local style including one adapted for handicapped guests. Your stay will be one to remember.

We also have four independent apartments, decorated with taste and charm with two or four beds in each. The apartments are available also for brief stays of a weekend or more.

The breakfast room serves a buffet breakfast with jams from the farm, cakes and biscuits and is available to the guests (with reservation) for cooking at most times of the day and night.

La Mussia has 27 hectares of land along with the Piccatto-Toso home and the Agriturismo.  A wood-fired pizza oven is available for guest use.  Wood for the oven is available (at a small cost) so you may try your hand at making typical Italian pizza (with help from either Claudio or Laura). If you are our guest during the Truffle season, you may request a special meal to be prepared by Laura's mother Carla that uses these very expensive and very special products of the area.

Managed by Laura Toso and her husband, Claudio Piccatto with the able assistance of their three children, Federica, Francesca and Giacomo and Laura's mother, Carla, in the kitchen, La Mussia features a quiet surrounding with the ability to hike in the hills, rent bicycles in Nizza, rent horses at a nearby stable and in season, help with the grape harvest. La Mussia offers a translator/driver program for those that are unfamiliar with the area and/or need someone to translate.  Please see our translator/driver's for details.

For groups of at least eight persons, it is possible to book a guided food and wine tasting with a young wine producer and his best Piemontese wines.

There is also a swimming pool, ping pong table and tennis court as well as games for younger guests.  These are available only to those that are staying with us.

During the period from Easter through the first of November, La Mussia is an Agriturismo offering its guests who choose the half-pension option, breakfast and authentic Piemontese cuisine at dinner, Monday through Saturday.  From November through Easter, only a breakfast buffet is available.  La Mussia is available throughout the year by reservation.
