What a stunning boutique hotel! The hotel is off the usual tourist routes and is all the better for it. The landscapes are lovely, and within an hour of walking the villages of Cremolino, Trisobbio and Morsasco can be easily reached. Each has a castle and are relatively untouched. You get to see the real Italy. The hotel only has 12 rooms and ours was fantastic. We were in an attic suite. Furnished so well, with a separate living room and a lovely terrace, it was perfect in every way. With a large comfortable bed, free standing bath and a separate rain shower the room also had great views. The hotel grounds were well maintained. Great views of the surrounding countryside were afforded from every vantage point. The infinity swimming pool was the perfect place to lounge around. The spa was high quality and luxurious. Massages were amazing. The facilities were wonderful; a sauna, steam room and even a gym. To top it all, the stars of this superb hotel were the restaurants. The Bistrot served up local Piedmontese food with a modern twist. Even better was the fine dining, L’Orto. Chef Charlie Pearce has created something really special. Varied tasting menus, showcase his and his teams talents. We enjoyed are some of the best meals I’ve had in a while. The service throughout our stay was superb. A young and enthusiastic team, always eager and going out of their way to help. What an awesome hotel. Everything was superb!

Wonderful hotel: staff are brilliant, service is really top notch. Decor, quality of the finish, views fantastic. Feels like some of the F&B service is still getting up to speed but based on the execution elsewhere that's just a formality.
