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.

View, clean, food and service excellent

Claudio was a perfect host. He was really helpful with advice and ensuring that I had everything I needed. The hotel is a beautifully renovated historic building and had been done so very tastefully. The breakfast was amazing. Home made and very tasty. I couldn't have asked for more. I look forward to returning in the summer so I can sit in the garden for a pre-dinner drink or a Sunday brunch!

Beautiful property. It is 1 hour and 15 min walk to Montecatini terme. Good restaurant and breakfast. Amazing receptionists and hotel manager. Lots of attention to details.

It is a beautiful place, renovated with passion and a sense for design and aesthetics that among other things incorporates artwork from local artists. Add in tasty food cooked from local products and based on region-specific recipes. And not to forget two very friendly hosts.

Paola has been a great host, showing us around in the apartment and sharing about the history and sights to see in Golferenzo. She also helped us reserve a table at one of the restaurants she recommended. Breakfast was superb and well thought out.

The interiors were amazing, and the view from the pool is one I have never seen before. The staff were very helpful and proper. Breakfast was great and the free appetisers you received when ordering a cocktail were a good idea

Our stay at this incredible castle hotel was nothing short of magical. The grandeur of the castle, the beautifully preserved architecture, and the breathtaking surroundings created an unforgettable first impression. The food was absolutely divine. From rich, locally inspired dishes to indulgent desserts, the dining experience was a highlight of our stay. The drinks menu was just as impressive, with expertly crafted cocktails and a wonderful selection of wines. What made the trip even more special was how welcoming and exciting it was for our children. Sleeping in a real castle was a dream come true for them! They were completely enchanted by the historic rooms, winding staircases, and the sense of adventure that came with every corner of the property. The staff made sure they felt just as pampered and special as the adults, which we deeply appreciated. This was more than just a hotel stay—it was an experience filled with wonder, luxury, and warm hospitality. We can’t wait to return and relive the magic all over again.

The hotel was exceptional. Clean, very modern every detail taken care of. We were warmly welcomed and our bags were taken to our room while we had a cold drink on the terrace. Antonella & her team were wonderful. Communication was exceptional and we were provided flexibility for our check in. The breakfast was amazing and the grounds perfection. We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent staff and service!! I will surely come back again!!!

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.
