The Agriturismo Farmhouse Do Re Mi. is surrounded by green hills and valleys in a beautiful area near the town of Cuneo in Northern Italy close to the border with France.

The town of Cuneo was founded in 1198 by the local population, who declared it an independent commune, freeing themselves from the authority of the bishops of Asti and the marquisses of Montferrat and Saluzzo. During the following centuries it was sieged 7 times (it came to be known as the town of the Seven Sieges) and was taken once in 1641 by the French.

Its' specialty is Cuneesi al rhum, chocolates with a unique rum-based filling. The most famous brand is Arione, located in Galimberti's Place (the city's principal square). Arione, founded in 1923, has kept its traditional furniture and old world appearance to this day, projecting a feeling of timeless old-fashioned elegance. Many famous people have stopped by to taste the famous Cuneesi al rhum, including the famous writer Ernest Hemingway in 1954.
