What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Bossolasco village is just uphill, while walking trails wind past surrounding vineyards toward views of Monviso.
The rooms
Suites are dressed in regional antiques, oriental rugs, Rivolta Carmignani linens, and open fireplaces.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The indoor pool sits under brick cellar arches, fitted with whirlpool jets and an iron daybed suspended over timber decking.
The spa
Treatment rooms sit beneath stone vaults with views toward the hills for Ayurvedic rituals and Comfort Zone bodywork.
At the table
L'Orangerie occupies a glass conservatory facing the hills, where an open kitchen turns garden harvests into regional tasting menus.
How it began
The name means little girls in Piedmontese dialect, honoring the daughters of the family that once ran the farmstead.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
