By car
The shortest route is to come via Chiasso and Milano (Tangentiale), turning off to Torino (A4) as far as the junction with the A26. Then follow for Genova/Alessandria as far as the turn for Torino (A21). Take the “Asti Est” exit and follow the main road towards Alba to the exit for “Isola d’Asti”. Towards the end of the village turn left towards “Aqui Therme” and at the first group of houses after the village turn left towards Villa.
A somewhat longer, but prettier and less busy route is to go along Lake Maggiore via Brissago to Verbania and then take the motorway towards Genoa. Just before Alessandria turn off towards Turin (A21) and proceed as above.

Combine with a stay in Brissago…
Because the changeover days are the same (half-weeks), it is easy to combine your stay in Piedmont with a stay at the Privilège Hotel Villa Caesar in Brissago. Then you can also benefit from the free rail/bus ticket to/from Brissago (return travel to and from your home in Switzerland or the Swiss border).
