Palas Cerequio

A lovely vineyard resort in the Langhe region that produces Barolo wine. the resort is set on the hills overlooking beautiful vineyards. It is a small establishment of less than 20 rooms which is owned by the family who own the vineyard so everyone is very friendly and helpful. There are two types of rooms - the traditional ones in the older part of the building and more contemporary rooms which have huge floor to ceiling windows overlooking the vineyard - stunning views. If you are a wine-lover or want to learn more about wines from this region, this is an ideal place as their cellar has won the Wine Spectator award for 2024 for their wine selection. There are a number of wine tastings at the resort which can be booked in advance. The resort has 2 restaurants: the Sky Bar, perched on the hill with beautiful views of the area and La Corte which is a slightly more formal setting with tablecloths. Both serve very good food and wine. This hotel, like many in the area, is not in a town so you will need a car to get around or book a taxi to take you around the nearby towns.

Simply outstanding the location of the property is amazing and the views OMG magnificent. The restaurant is great it's a Michelin and has outstanding food The staff is friendly Mateo at the bar makes outstanding cocktails Highly recommended

My husband and I selected this hotel based on the "amazing" tripadvisor reviews. We have stayed in many places around this region and we really looking forward to the stay based on the reviews. What a disappointment! We selected the "suites of the future" because they have a balcony. We were originally booked in the Brunate suite but received an email a couple of weeks prior to our arrival stating that there will be "some" construction noise, so they placed us in the Arborina suite which is 2 rooms away. When I think of "some" noise, I think perhaps a remodel of a room or something not too big of a project. Palas Cerequio's idea of "some" noise is a building of a new building in front of the pool. First off, imagine our suprise to see the huge construction project and then to have to hear the noise (8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.) Heavy pounding, cement trucks, etc. On top of that, the pool view is blocked by a wind screen with a picture of the actual view, not so lovely as the website shows. About the area. It is a lovely setting amidst the vineyards and not too difficult to reach, albeit part of the road is dirt so your car gets totally filthy. The room is a "suite of the future" with a bazare layout. The living room, small kitchen, and your tub and shower are on the main floor. However, the window faces the pool with a walkway so there is absolutely no privacy if you kept the drapes open. The bedroom is upstairs with the toilet, sink, closet and bed with a balcony that has a lovely vineyard view (if there were no construction it would be tranquil). However, there is only one side table. Breakfast is included in the rate and it was quite adequate. We ate dinner there one evening, it was fine, nothing to really write home about. Except our server was very nice! The property setting is lovely, but given the new building construction, I would definitely stay away! And there are far better properties and ate a more resonable rate too.
