The first time we came to Acqui Terme we fell in love with the town, one of the most beautiful small towns in Piedmont in our opinion. But still big enough that there is a lot to choose from.
The town of Acqui Terme is located in the Piedmont region. The city has 20,000 inhabitants and has a really cozy small-town feel with narrow streets, many of which are cobbled. Many of the streets have small cozy boutique shops with clothes. There are also a number of Pasticceria (patisseries), Panetteria (bakery), Gelateria (ice cream) and even a couple of Macelleria (butchers) that sell meat directly over the counter. Simply a lovely variation of many things!
Every week on Tuesdays and Fridays, the town blossoms in the morning as the local market sets up in a series of streets and squares. Many from the local population take the opportunity to shop a little cheaper at the market and it has a really good variety with everything from clothes, bags, fruit and vegetables to locally produced food.
Acqui Terme has around 80 restaurants in and around the town. There is something for all tastes and different price ranges.

Jo Sushi is a Japanese restaurant where you pay a fixed amount of money and you can take in as much sushi as you want of different varieties. Very good place for those who like sushi. The lunch is the most affordable.

In Ricaldone you found the restaurant Enosteria Semi di Vino
There are a number of Enotecas in the city, functioning as small wine bars where you go in and have a glass of wine.
Many of them serve "apertivo" which often means that you get a glass of Aperol and to that you often get perhaps some salami, a piece of cheese or maybe foccaia bread. Aperol can of course often be exchanged for a glass of bubbly, white or red wine.
In Piedmont, they make a sparkling wine that goes by the name of Alta Langa and which, in our opinion, is one of the best there is. So feel free to try any of the Alta Langa that is available to choose from.
Enoteca La Curia, the picture is from that place. You must try this, one of our real favourites!
Enoteca Regionale, this is the region's non-profit marketplace for all wines around the city of Acqui Terme. Here the cost price applies, so a glass of wine here often costs only few euros.
Rosa rosa winebar is a cozy wine bar in one of the narrow alleys in Acqui, highly recommended!
Enoteca venti punto venti (20.20) super cozy place don't forget to go down to the cellar. Here you can also be served a piece of food. They also call themselves a champagne bar so here you will find a crazy variety of bubbles from Italy as well as France.
Enoteca dueperdue, is located by the step fountain in Acqui Terme and is a very popular place among Italians for an apertivo.
Ciabot, popular apertivo place on the main street through Acqui Terme.

Our B&B is located right on the outskirts of the town of Acqui Terme. From our house you have a nice view of the town and it is also within walking distance for those who feel that a 1.5km walk is possible.
There are also two taxi companies in the city, but they only have a few cars (so it is good to book in advance). Just google "Taxi Acqui Terme" to find them. However, they can have a little hard to communicating in English, so translating an email into Italian with Google Translate is the safest tip for a booking.
By car it takes only a minute down to Acqui Terme. In Italy you already look at the color of the P-square if it is free parking or if it costs money:
We recommend parking at "Piazza Don Piero Dolmero" which is a free parking lot near the city.
