There are so many places to go on a vacation that
for some people, it can be almost impossible to
choose. Of course, a few people will visit the
same place every year, but most will try
somewhere new. The question is, where to go? Some
travelers like busy holiday resorts with beer and
beaches, while others like the quieter locations
where tourists are few and hard to find. This
latter group are those who enjoy mixing in with
the local culture, and enjoying the relaxed
atmosphere associated with it. One place that is
both beautiful and serene is Bergolo, situated in
Piemonte, Italy.

Bergolo is a small municipality (comune) located
within the Province of Cuneo. Turin is the
capital city of the region, and is located just
43 miles to the southeast. Cuneo is also only a
short drive away at 31 miles towards the
northeast. Bergolo itself only covers a total
area of 1.2 square miles, and has a small
population. This is what makes it a great place
to stay for those looking for somewhere that has
fantastic scenery, plenty to do in the
surrounding areas, as well as peace and quiet.

As normal with a lot of places in Europe, Bergolo
has a history that goes back a few hundred years.
It was in the 1780's the title of Count Calvi of
Bergolo was created. The town actually has
connections with the last king of Italy Umberto
II (Umberto Nicola Tommaso Giovanni Maria di
Savoia). These facts add to the overall aura of
the place, and if you stay at the luxury bed and
breakfast in the town, then you know that you are
staying in an area where famous royalty has been
in the past.
