Super unique, clean and very friendly and helpfull staff. Giulio can arrange visits with vineyards, and has an excellent wine bar in the first floor. His cellar is also amazing.

This is a place with extraordinary character and history, beautifully restored into a boutique hotel and restaurant. The rooms are stylishly simple but the building, essentially a series of medieval caves, is stunningly creative in itself and needs little dressing up. The food is excellent, the wine list extensive (and that’s even before you get to the off-list collection!) and Giuglio is a wonderful host. Nothing is too much trouble for him, whether rustling up some pasta for us when we arrived late, helping with itineraries or phoning restaurants and wineries. We had a fantastic time and cannot recommend it more highly. A true 10/10!

Nothing: it’s fantastic

Giulio, the owner, is a absolutely fantastic person. The place is incredibile, amazing!! The breakfast and dinner are excelents.

Absolutely amazing place & great host!

Perfect stay in the heart of Monforte, we loved staying inside the walls of an almost 1000 year old castle

Just a little too much sound from the room above, as some other tourists had an after party late at night

Friendly helpful owner. Fantastic building. Nice quiet village with great views from our balcony. Very clean. Great wine selection.

Breakfast bit limited no fruit or eggs. You have to be aware that you have to climb a lot of stairs

A beautiful place where past (many centuries-old building) meets present (comfort, airco, great bed, splendid mix with steel and glass) both at the hotel as well as the adjacent restaurant. Great personal hospitality displayed by Giulio and his team made you feel welcome and taken care of. The restaurant has an impressive winelist with over 100 Barolo wines from the local area, to only be multiplied with Barolo’s from further afield, Barbarescos, Barberas, Dolcettos and many other which combine great with the Piedmontese food on the menu. An adventure for the senses in many ways! No wonder many of his guests return year after year, and we definitely aim to come back in the near future! Grazie mille Giulio
