Dronero is in the southern part of Piemonte, close to the border with France and some 60 kilometres south west of Turin/Torino. This is one of the gastronomic centres of Italy, with the lighter cuisine of the Mediterranean south giving way to a menu far more French in its flavours. You'll find butter and cream rather than olive oil, fondues, rich soups, and truffles as an ingredient (they are harvested locally, around Alba). Italy's finest red wines come from this area too, including Nebbiolo, Barbera and Barolo. This Dronero hotel is a superb way to enjoy this beautiful part of north-western Italy.
