A hotel in Acqui Terme, a northern Italian spa town

Hotel Talice Radicati, Acqui Terme

This comfortable three-star hotel is set in a lovely 15th-century house in Italy's north-western Piedmont (Piemonte) region. There is a wonderful country-house feel to this traditional 'albergo', which can be found in the Italian spa town of Acqui Terme. This region of Italy is renowned for its winter sports as well as its delicious cuisine and wines; Piedmont is also a rich agricultural province with quiet roads snaking though rolling hills clad with vineyards and orchards. The hotel has been recently restored and renovated and during the building works some ancient Roman artifacts were discovered.
