In 2024, we started Da Maurizio.
Once this was a wine farm but in the 80s a small campground was started. Before our arrival there were no activities for several years. On our first visit we knew immediately, life must come back to this place. So to work. And now we have a nice little campsite and 2 apartments where we can receive guests. We are a small family business so you meet us everywhere. We receive everyone personally and help everyone get around. We take care of the maintenance and that everything is clean. Of course there is always something to do for us but we also love to enjoy our place and the surroundings.
We hope to welcome you soon. Joep, Debora, Jasper and Daan Maurits.
The surroundings of Da Maurizio are characterized by the vineyards. The view of our village of Castiglione Tinella is typical of the area. In the immediate vicinity you will find the villages of Castagnole delle Lanze, Neive, Nizza Monferrato, Asti and, of course, the truffle town of Alba. There are numerous opportunities for wine tastings at various wineries.
Our ‘Partner In Wine’ is our neighbour, Simone Cerutti. He organises wine tastings six days a week. From the campsite, we walk to his classic Moscato vineyard where he will explain the beginning of the winemaking process.Then we walk to his winery where we see how the wine is made. And of course, we taste it. This is complemented by tasty snacks. You must register for the tasting in advance. A few days before arrival, we will send you a link that entitles you to a 10% discount.
Twice a week, we pick up pizza in the village for anyone who’d like some. That way, after a tasting or an active day, you’ll have almost nothing left to do except eat and perhaps have a drink. If there’s enough interest, we’ll turn this into a cosy communal meal where we can share flavours and experiences.
Furthermore, you can make beautiful walks or bike tours. Nearby you can also rent bikes that can be delivered to our place, allowing you to tour among the vines right from your tent or apartment. And of course you can go eat out in the best restaurants in the area. Full enjoyment.
The Pool
Our swimming pool is a non-heated outdoor pool.
The water temperature is around 16 degrees when it opens in the spring but can rise to 30 degrees or more in the summer. The size is 10 by 5 meters and the depth runs from 1m at the stairs to 1.30m on the other side. Jumping and diving are therefore not allowed. A great pool to relax and enjoy the view on a hot day. Depending on the weather, the pool is open from May to September every day from 8:30 to 19:30.
In the winter of 2025/2026, we completely renovated our swimming pool and converted it into a saltwater pool.
