Nizza Monferrato is one of the most beautiful villages in the Monferrato hills, in the Piedmont region of northern Italy. The village is a maze of narrow streets and alleyways, with ancient houses and churches, and a lovely central square. The surrounding countryside is a mix of vineyards and orchards, with the snow-capped Alps in the distance. Nizza Monferrato is a great base for exploring the region, with many small villages and medieval castles to visit, and some of the best wine-producing areas in Italy. There are also some good restaurants and wine bars in the village, and some lovely walks in the surrounding countryside.
