What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
It’s a full-on resort experience, but a modestly sized one, just 39 handsome rooms and suites.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The surrounding Alta Langa hills sit between Barolo and Barbaresco, with the medieval towers of Alba thirty minutes away.
The rooms
Rooms open onto private terraces with views of the Alps, finished in local stone and natural oak.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated infinity pool sits beside the terracotta building, looking out across the estate's rolling vineyard hills.
The sauna and whirlpool
Slatted timber walls enclose the wet area, which holds a Finnish sauna, a Jacuzzi, and a bucket shower.
The gym
Walnut paneling lines the gym, set with Technogym cardio equipment, wooden stall bars, and a leather Kinesis station.
At the table
Fàula Ristorante serves traditional Piedmontese cooking with estate garden produce, and Sorì Cocktail Bar pours drinks beside a vapor fireplace.
How it began
An unfinished concrete frame stood abandoned for ten years until the Krause Group rebuilt it in regional red brick.
