Bubbio (from Latin) bivium, because it is located on the crossroads of Roman roads between the Bormida Valley and the Asti area), is a village in the Langhe Astigiane that has kept some important urban characteristics intact, with the old houses arranged on the sides of the fourteenth-century Via Maestra, delimited respectively by the castle and the parish church, and a series of districts, alleys, arches and stairways that create suggestive views and stone corners forgotten by time.

The castle of Bubbio, widely renovated and modified, is currently private and used as a hotel/restaurant.
