Casa Porta Lanero was born in the heart of the historic center of Nizza Monferrato, right within the UNESCO World Heritage landscape. It is the result of the collaboration between two brothers, Francesco and Alessandro, united by their passion for wine, beauty, and their homeland. Francesco, a surveyor, has always loved restoring historic buildings and cherishing the value of things crafted with care. Alessandro, an oenologist at the Cantina di Nizza, lives every day immersed in the tradition and innovation of the wine world. Together, they have brought new life to an ancient home, transforming it into a welcoming retreat where the charm of the past meets modern comfort. Every detail of Casa Porta Lanero reflects their vision: respect for history, a love for craftsmanship, and a genuine sense of hospitality that embodies the spirit of Monferrato. Casa Porta Lanero is not just a holiday home—it’s an experience: an invitation to discover the land, its flavors, and its authenticity, just as Francesco and Alessandro experience it every day.

Francesco is a true lover of Nizza Monferrato and its most authentic traditions. His greatest passion is sharing the city and its surroundings with those visiting for the first time, conveying all the love and pride he feels for this unique land. With enthusiasm and deep knowledge, Francesco guides guests through the wonders of Nizza Monferrato: the UNESCO-listed hills, the prestigious wines such as NIZZA and Barbera d’Asti, the local festivals, markets, and the flavors that make this town a small treasure of Piedmont. For him, every encounter is an opportunity to share stories, emotions, and traditions: from tales of local people to the legends of old farmsteads, all the way to the aromas of kitchens and wine cellars. Francesco believes that discovering Nizza Monferrato means living an authentic experience made of simplicity, warmth, and culture. And his wish is exactly this: to make every visitor fall in love with Nizza, just as he did.
