Piedmont sits in Italy's northwest corner, sharing a border with France and Switzerland under the watchful gaze of the Alps. Its Italian name, Piemonte, translates to 'foot of the mountain', a fitting description for a region of grand landscapes and sophisticated cities. The mix of urban elegance and deep-rooted rural traditions makes living in Piedmont an experience rich with culture, world-class gastronomy and magical natural beauty.

Life in Piedmont shifts dramatically with your postcode. In Turin, you’ll find a sophisticated urban rhythm, but venture into the countryside, and the pace softens. Life in the vineyard-covered hills of the Langhe or the sleepy, unspoiled towns at the foot of the Alps is tied to the seasons, meaning there is plenty to see and do in the region of Piedmont.
