Taste for instance our homemade honey or jam to sweeten your day.
LUNCH AND DINNER
We can also provide lunch and dinner, just let us know in advance (also for your food preferences), but we point out that we cook mainly vegetarian.
FOOD EXPERIENCES
For those seeking a taste of local cuisine and culture, our hotel offers unique food experiences. From exquisite dining options that showcase the region’s culinary delights, learning the art of Pasta making, to wine tastings that highlight the local vintages, every aspect of your stay is designed to delight the senses.
ACQUI TERME
If you get hungry during your visit to the city or would like to eat out anyway, we recommend two places in the center of Acqui Terme: The I Caffi di Chiriotti Sara and The Da nonna Gina.
Oh, and while you're in the city, be sure to visit one of the ice cream parlors!
Once you've recharged your batteries in and around the pool, in the garden, or on one of the terraces, you can head out to explore the surrounding area. Acqui Terme itself is known for its hot sulfurous thermal springs, one of which is located in the center of town. This one was formed in the 1870s in the shape of an octagon, called La Bollente, and dispenses thermal water at about 75 °C. Of course there is also a thermal bath - why else would the city have the byname "Terme"? -, the Spa Lago delle Sorgenti, where you can relax in various pools and with various treatments.
Also worth a visit are the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, the Castle (Castello dei Paleologi) - today an archaeological museum - and the church Chiesa dell'Addolorata, which has been preserved in parts, as well as the Roman Aqueduct (Acquedotto).
Wine lovers and connoisseurs take note: Acqui is authorized for the cultivation and production of wines with controlled designation of origin of the Monferrato denomination. In addition, the wine with the state-controlled denomination of origin Barbera d'Asti may be produced here. Accordingly, you will find many wine producers here, who will offer you their best drops during a tour. We are happy to help you plan your trip, just ask us! We also have maps if you want to take a walk along the UNESCO protected vineyards of Monferrato.
Speaking of wine: while walking through those vineyards, you'll see a bench you want to rest on - but as you approach it, it gets bigger and bigger! No, you haven't had too much wine or a sunstroke, it's a work by artist Chris Bangle as part of a community project, and its dimensions invite you to feel like a little kid again while enjoying the view.
And many more great places are within minutes of our grounds. But also, if you want to make a trip by car, Asti with its sparkling wines (1 hour by car), Alba with its white truffles (also 1 hour by car), or Alessandria with its Cittadella and old town (40 minutes) are waiting for you.
From the pool, which is poor in chemicals, with its shallow walkways for children, to the sculpture garden, the hideout, the small playground with, among other things, swings and trampoline, or the biodiversity area - there is a lot for the little ones to discover here. In addition, with a little luck - since we are a little quieter and away from the city - they can observe the native animals that can be seen here from time to time. You can also watch the stars through a telescope.
Entertainment in the house is provided by various children's toys and books.
You can also have fun away from Verdmont, for example on the already mentioned giant benches in the vineyards or swimming in the nearby river Bormida - we will gladly give you the coordinates of a safe place to do so!
And one more special offer: if parents want to spend time as a couple, we will organize childcare so that the time for two will be worry-free. Just let us know!
