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.

One of the best hotels we have ever stayed at. Everyone was super kind and helpful! We would love to go back one day! We also tried there restaurant for dinner and we ate the best seafood pasta we have ever eaten there! Ah I still think about our trip there it was so lovely❤️

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

Claudio, the owner and manager of Antico Sipario, is contagiously enthousiastic and very, very hospitable. In addition, he's full of tips about the surroundings. You can ask anything you want to know about the region. Breakfast is a mix of local specialities (including the family's own olive oil) and contintental breakfast. You can ask for more or less of any of the ingredients and vent your own wishes.

Absolutely magical. It was a stunning house, with a great shower, kitchen and amazing bed on the mezzanine. Very stylish, high quality and everything to hand including access to a washing machine. Great restaurants within a stone’s throw. Paola was excellent, very communicative and helpful.

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

Everything. A great experience to stay in a castle. Very friendly owner and staf. They give you superb attention and make the stay a real special event. The breakfast on the terrace was wonderful. And the food in the attached restaurant is great. Especially sitting on the romantic terrace outside.

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.

Cleanliness, breakfast and staff

Everything was perfect! The hotel is beautiful, amazing views! Breakfast is also very good and the staff are very welcoming and professional. We will definitely be back!

The location is great...5 minutes walk from the Ufizi Museum, Duomu at 8 minutes walk, dozens of great restaurants at walk distance.... The staff was really thoughtful and even had a portuguese speaking person at the hotel reception. The room was incredible, spacious and with free amenities (apart from alcohol).

The unique athmosphere, the luxury mixed with down to earth vibe and most of all : lovely personelle. This is one of those hidden gems that will stick to you. I tell everybody about this place who are going to Sicily. The wine cellar is cooled by the natural temperature there, built into the rocks. The restaurant has amazing food. They have two tame foxes😍 All day long you can hear to boulder from mother Etna, and we were lucky to see lava eruption when we were there in July. I also think this place is wonderful in any season. All the details makes you wonder around, hammocks outside. Fresh food and snack. It’s up in the mountain so the air is fresher than on the beach. I loved it here- I loved the energy. I really got to relax.
