Castello di Guarene  

In Guarene, housed in a restored 18th-century castle just a few kilometres from Alba. The hotel overlooks the UNESCO-listed hills of the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato and is a short drive from local wineries such as Cascina del Pozzo, Tenuta Carretta and Fabrizio Battaglino.

This is a luxury, historic castle hotel with preserved Baroque façades and a piano nobile museum. Rooms are individually decorated and feature flat-screen TVs, minibars, bathrobes and slippers; bathrooms offer tubs or showers and bidets. Expect a refined, art-filled vibe with sweeping hill views.

A full spa program (massages, body treatments and facials) anchors wellness, plus an indoor pool, hot tub, sauna, steam bath and solarium. There's also a fitness center, pool access, a kids’ playroom and babysitting on request. Wake up to hilltop views, bring your pet — the property is pet-friendly — and use free self-parking or the airport shuttle for a surcharge.

Business center and event facilities are on site, with complimentary wired and wireless internet throughout. Concierge and 24-hour front desk services support meetings and transfers.

On-site restaurant and bar/lounge serve breakfast and dinner, with a complimentary continental breakfast served daily from 8:00 to 10:30. Room service is available during limited hours, and menus lean into Italian and regional Piedmont flavors.
