  • Family site on an organic farm in the countryside of eastern Piedmont
  • Tortona 15 minutes’ drive; Milan or Genoa an hour away
  • Weekend restaurant on site, plus stargazing events
A thoroughly rural site, but one that’s in a handy spot for outings to Turin, Genoa and Milan – Agricampeggio Elilu Soul Farm is in an excellent location for guests who want to mix up countryside and city activities during their stay in north-western Italy. The three cities mentioned are all within an hour and a half’s drive (Milan being the closest at an hour away), but the site is in the middle of a true agricultural area in eastern Piedmont, a 10-minute drive from the town of Castelnuovo Scrivia. It’s part of an organic farm, and it makes a particularly good option if you’re travelling as a family – it’s got friendly animals for the kids to pet and organises child-friendly activities like stargazing nights at its planetarium (by reservation). There are activities for the grown-ups, too, such as organised excursions to nearby artistic towns (Tortona, for example) and nature spots like Torrente Scrivia (35 minutes’ drive), a popular birdwatching spot. Another advantage of staying here is that the site feels cosy and intimate, with guest numbers always kept low to ensure plenty of space and peace for all guests. The farm grows and makes most of what it serves at the on-site restaurant (fruit and vegetables, jams, dairy products and baked goods, plus eggs and cured meats). Note that the restaurant is open for Saturday dinner and Sunday lunch only, but if you happen to be here during the week, you can still sample the farm’s home-grown products by buying some for your picnics or to take home with you.

Gavin B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass and gravel site

Liked: Owner very friendly and spoke good English, no restrictions on time of arrival or leaving. The animals are accessible to see. Nice quiet location.

Disliked: Toilets and showers

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Dear Gavin Thank you very much for your kind words. We're happy you've enjoyed our hospitality. As to the toilets and showers, thank you for your feedback, I'm sorry you haven't found them satisfying: they're quite spartan but we keep them clean everyday. We've had activity with children that day and probably we haven't had time to clean them again. I apologize for that and thank you again for your feedback: it helps us improve our services. Hope to see you soon!

Local attractions

If you’re in the market for city outings, start in Milan (an hour’s drive) – it’s a very elegant place that’s home to the Gothic Duomo, the famed La Scala theatre, Castello Sforzesco and Santa Maria delle Grazie, which houses Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘Last Supper’. Genoa (just over an hour) and Turin (an hour and 20 minutes) could also be on your schedule , but you may prefer to turn your attentions to smaller places like Tortona (15 minutes), a small hilltop town with a castle and a maritime museum as well as several wineries nearby to visit. If you’ve got the kids with you, there are some good options for days out nearby, including the chance to see rodeos and ride in wagons at Cowboyland theme park (20 minutes) or zoom down waterslides, swim in the pools and play beach football at Onda Splash waterpark (35 minutes). For a fun walk, you might also like to follow the path to the Big Bench - Panchina Gigante (half an hour), part of a worldwide project to install these huge (and very Instagrammable) benches in scenic spots.
