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.

The staff (family) were simply amazing and they could not have done more to make our stay amazing. The breakfast were the best we have ever experienced. An added bonus was the hotel would take us to lunch/dinner and pick us up.

The room, breakfast, pool and surroundings were wonderful

We found this place accidentally when were looking for a stay before flight from Bologna. Turned out this was one of the best place we stayed during out travel. It's new but very, very clean and well maintained. Has amazing views from rooms, very nice staff who does even more than asked(they helped to make us a romantic dinner on the outer terrace which isnt used for dinners, thanks Paula). Dinner and breakfasts were really good, pools features epic views and just pools worth the price paid for stay there. This place also relatively close to train, so you can stay here instead of staying in Florence as its just ~1h train to Florence Also it has real medieval clock tower on its territory, so you can go and see/touch it in person

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

It is wonderful place. We were greeted by the castle's owner. We were the only guests and were surrounded by care and attention. This is an amazing historical place, and the castle owners put their hearts into preserving it. A walk through the castle with Chiara, who will tell you the history of this place, is a must. The restaurant is delicious and elegant in the evening. I recommend everyone come here.

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.

The welcoming feels like you are a part of the family instead of a guest. Nothing is too much. You can feel the love the staff feel for the castle and the work they do. Just a wonderful experience!

very convenient location, nice and authentic Italian food, warm and professional service, close to most places of interests, well decorated and delicate Italian style

I love the heated pool. Very stunning view with the sunset and the valley. I also love the flowers they planted around the hotel. Such a shame we only stayed for one night. We will definitely come back to try the restaurant.

Our stay at Monteverdi was simply beyond expectations! This place is a true gem, where every detail is thoughtfully crafted. The atmosphere is pure magic, blending Tuscan landscapes, elegant design, and genuinely warm hospitality into one unforgettable experience. We have to highlight their wonderful chef, Chef Giancarla Bodoni, who offered an incredible cooking class that left a huge impression on us. It was not only fascinating and delicious, but also a hit with our kids, who absolutely loved the experience. We left feeling completely enchanted and we know we’ll be coming back. Monteverdi is a little slice of paradise that everyone should visit at least once!

The breakfast is great, a lot of choices and the food delicious! The ubication is fantastic. Most important places are walking near from La Gemma. But the best of all is the people working at La Gemma, always trying to be helpful and kind. All of us my wife and our friends felt like home. Unfortunately, we had to leave to continue our travel!
