About Renting a Car at Fossano Center

Fossano is a charming Piedmont town 15 km south of Cuneo, known for its impressive Acaja Castle and views toward the Alps. Three providers in the center make it easy to rent a car for excursions to the Barolo vineyards 40 km northwest or to Cuneo in just 20 minutes. A car is a must to explore Piedmont's rolling countryside and the surrounding Langhe hills.

Fossano's center is dominated by Castello degli Acaja from the 14th century and the broad Corso Garibaldi promenade. The town's chocolate tradition is renowned – local confectioners offer world-class gianduiotto. The Alps are clearly visible in fine weather and the ski resort Limone Piemonte is 55 km to the south via SS20.

Use your rental car to visit the Barolo and Barbaresco vineyards during September–October when the harvest is underway. Park free at Castello degli Acaja and walk into the center on foot. The SS28 road toward Colle di Nava offers spectacular alpine views and light traffic.
