Novello: A Normal Little Town for a Tranquil Vacation
Novello is a small Italian town in Cuneo, Piedmont. Bordering this municipality are several tourist towns, Barolo, Monchiero, and Lequio Tanaro. Since it’s within the Barolo Zone, it is near the best villages that produce the King of Wines. Novello isn’t a tourist town, but that makes it more charming to the occasional visitor, especially for those who are looking for a quiet vacation.
Best Time to Visit
If you are visiting Italy and comes to this little village, the best time would be during the hottest months – June, July, and August. Warm weather makes your time at Novello extra special, allowing you to explore every crook and cranny of the place. Since it isn’t big on tourism, you don’t have to worry about any high traffic season. Still, Novello hotels and lodgings show an influx of customers around February, May, and July.
What to Do & Area Attractions
Novello is near all the popular towns – Monforte d’Albam, Barolom, Bra, La Morra, and Cherasco. It’s at a good distance to go for a trip to the Italian Riviera or the mountains for a hiking adventure. But more than that, it’s the tranquil feeling that has people coming to this town. It is not crammed with wine bars, restaurants, and tasting rooms, but you can be amazed by famous structures such as the Parish of St. Michael the Archangel or the Novello Castle. There is also good lodging at Rosso di Sera Casa Vacanze, a B&B with delicious breakfast, swimming pool, and fantastic views. Or, you stay at Hotel Barbabuc, a small but full-service accommodation.
