Very nice hotel in this beautiful region. Our room offered…read morean amazing view on the wineries! It is very well decorated and modern. Good wi-fi, comfy bed, nice living room area and pretty bathroom (shower space is a bit small). One weird thing: we didn't have a phone in our room. They have a restaurant Donna Selvatica that has an amazing view on the wineries around and the service is very good. We went there for lunch and we were very well served on a nice table by the window. We even go offered an amouse-bouche, a gratin onion with parmesan cheese that was delicious. The dishes took a long time to arrive but they were all delicious. I got the raviolis plin and it was the best ravioli ever! My husband and our friend got both the tajarin with butter and parmesan and they said it was delicious also. As wine we ordered a bottle of Nebiolo from the area and it was a very good wine. Extra: they have the cutest dog that sometimes is at front desk. She is very nice and playful. She is very well behaved and quiet and a treat to play with if you are a dog person. I already want to go back there. Very nice stay.

There are no shampoo or hair conditioner but no matter, the mattress is firm, sheets are crisp and the AC in every room keeps the temperature at 18 degrees centigrade with near perfect silence from anywhere! The decor in the foyer is rich and chandeliers everywhere and the toilet at the lobby was all marbled with individual stalls and flowers galore. Do try. People are so friendly here.

My husband, two friends and I spend a long-weekend in Piedmont this fall and this tour was…read moredefinitely the highlight of our trip. We booked a private all-day wine and truffle tour and we were simply blown away. First, the Piedmont region is one of the most beautiful in all of Italy with its steep rolling hills and views of the snow-covered Alps in the distance. The tradition of the white-truffle festival in Alba is something that any gourmet simply must experience at least once in the their life and the Nebbiolo and Barbara wines of the regions are beyond compare. We met Robert in the small town of Neive around 9:30am and he drove us through Barbaresco to Barolo over the course of the day. We stopped for tastings, amazing view points, and a wonderful lunch that was prepared by Leslie. During lunch, Robert taught us the "Art of Sabrage" or the opening of a sparkling wine bottle with a sword. My friend Emily really enjoyed that and Robert got a great video of it. Speaking of video and photography, Robert is also a semi-professional photographer and he taught us a great deal about techniques for capturing the best shots with our SLRs. The afternoon included an actual truffle hunt complete with a truffle dog. The day ended with an amazing aperitivo with the locals from Neive including tastings of sparkling wines, barbaras and Barbarescos. We were also introduced to several producers of the wines we were drinking (including their families). This really was an experience beyond compare and when we return to Piedmont we will absolutely be giving Robert and Leslie a call

Believe it or not, Hotel Langhe is actually a UNESCO site. It is a restored farmhouse that has been…read morein existence for over hundreds of years. Located 5 minutes away from the center of Alba and about as short as a 15 minute drive to the vineyards, Hotel Langhe is the perfect place to stay. When we arrived for our stay back in December, we were led to the cutest, coziest room that had ceiling windows. Hotel Langhe provides pretty up to date amenities with a slight farmhouse vibe. There are bikes lined up outside the hotel that you can take out for a ride when the weather is nice. Free breakfast is also provided here as well.

From the ambiance, to the food, and the service, everything was terrific. They had unique dishes that were surprisingly great such as the veal tartare.
