The staff speciallt the manager

The hotel has a fantastic location in the middle of the Piemonte wine area, close to Barolo and La Morra. The view from the rooms is fantastic and the terrasse of the room suberb. Good breakfast buffet.We really enjoyed our stay. Only small disadvantage: if you want to go out for dinner you need a car to visit other restaurants as the distance to the closest village (Serralunga d'Alba) is about 2 km and too dangerous to walk in the night (small road, no lights). For the season it was very cold, only 5 degrees. There was no room heating on, only after our request it was switched on. For a 4 star hotel this should be done automatically, not after letting guests "freeze" for two days. You also would expect a better soundproof room for this class of a hotel, you can easily hear people talking in the next room.

Although we were there during the off-season the staff was extremely helpful and made our stay really enjoiable

The views are stunning, the restaurant terrace is perfect, the room we had was large with a private balcony overlooking the pool and vineyards. good beakfast. Very enjoyable. We would have preferred a more traditional and local menu in this beautiful setting - one with less twist - although some dishes, particularly deserts, were excellent

We had a bit of mixup with our reservation. The manager immediatly reconized this and was quick and extremly generous in fixing the problem. The hotle has a lovely setting with very large rooms. Also he arranged for us to go to an excellent restaurant even though they have a lovely restaruant at the hotel.
