Hotels in Italy

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Piedmont – Simply Perfection! From the moment we arrived at Relais La Corte di Lequio, we knew we had discovered something truly special. Perched high in the rolling hills of the Langhe, the views are nothing short of breathtaking — endless vineyards, charming villages, and the snow-dusted Alps shimmering in the distance. Every sunrise felt like a painting, and every sunset like a private performance just for us. What truly makes this place unforgettable are the hosts, Elena and Andreas. Their warmth, attention to detail, and genuine passion for hospitality transform a beautiful hotel into a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Elena is wonderfully attentive and incredibly helpful with securing the best restaurant reservations — often at places we would never have found on our own. Andreas is a treasure trove of local knowledge, offering expert advice on tours, wineries, and hidden gems that made our trip even more memorable. Together, they made us feel both cared for and inspired to explore. Our room was an elegant blend of rustic charm and modern comfort: exposed beams, soft linens, and a balcony where we lingered with morning coffee, soaking in the silence and beauty. The bed was heavenly, the bathroom sparkling, and the small details — fresh flowers, locally made toiletries, artisanal chocolates — made it feel deeply personal. The wellness area was a true highlight. The sauna offered the perfect way to relax after a day of exploring, the swimming pool was pristine and perfectly positioned to enjoy panoramic vineyard views, and the whirlpool was pure bliss — a warm, bubbling escape under the open sky. It felt like our own private spa in the heart of the countryside. Breakfast deserves a standing ovation. Each morning, Elena’s beautifully prepared spread of fresh pastries, local cheeses, seasonal fruit, and exceptional coffee set the tone for the day.

A) location on the main road B) parking in the premises C) walking distance to town D) last but the most important - one of the best ever teams of owner/manager/staff that treat you like you are their family. Nothing was out of bounds. Be it the friendly service for breakfast, the adhoc drops to positano, or simply the warmth they exude in everything. It has been a while since I felt so pampered. Kudos Luigi and family - you guys really spoilt us.

This place is something else, staff are amazing, food was incredible, one of a kind stay.

Borgo dei Gatti is a slice of heaven tucked away in the hills — we couldn't have asked for a better stay. The location is simply breathtaking — perched on a hillside with panoramic views that look like something out of a dream. The hosts are absolutely wonderful — warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Ciao, Paola! Thank you for your kindness and care throughout our stay. And don’t even get me started on the breakfasts! Every morning, a charming wicker basket appeared at our door filled with local delights: fresh croissants, fruit, yogurt, and rich Italian coffee. Such a thoughtful and cozy start to the day. The rooms were spotless, beautifully designed, and full of rustic charm — think wood-beamed ceilings, soft linens, and all the little details that make a place feel special. The entire property is tranquil, well-maintained, and radiates character. If you're looking for a peaceful, romantic, and authentic escape in the Italian countryside, this is the place. I left completely recharged and already dreaming of coming back.

We had the most gorgeous stay at Antica Masseria while visiting the area for a friends wedding! The place is so picturesque, I couldn’t stop taking photos. Anthony and Andrea were super friendly and attentive hosts, and went above and beyond to make sure we had an enjoyable stay. Breakfast was lovely and the pool was super relaxing. They also have a cute dog and cat who are very friendly. My only regret was not making more of the wedding guests stay here with us :) I would definitely return if staying in the area again.

I loved this hotel, the location, the views, the fineness, the comfy, the welcoming staff… I highly recommend

It is wonderful place. We were greeted by the castle's owner. We were the only guests and were surrounded by care and attention. This is an amazing historical place, and the castle owners put their hearts into preserving it. A walk through the castle with Chiara, who will tell you the history of this place, is a must. The restaurant is delicious and elegant in the evening. I recommend everyone come here.

Beautiful room with stunning views!! Super clean and bed was a dream. Hosts were amazing and was the best hotel I have stayed in so far. Would highly recommend. Such a hidden gem. Breakfast was gorgeous and will miss it.

stuff friendliness, professionalism, readiness to help

The welcoming feels like you are a part of the family instead of a guest. Nothing is too much. You can feel the love the staff feel for the castle and the work they do. Just a wonderful experience!

The breakfast was incredible, the views were amazing, the pool was a great place to spend an afternoon, the location was great and the staff were excellent. Couldn’t say anything bad about the stay!
