What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Sara and Danilo renovated this early 19th-century farmhouse in Sinio with their own hands, and it shows: five individually designed rooms in a stone building on a hazelnut-covered hill above the Langhe.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Hazelnut orchards and Barolo vineyards cover the surrounding slopes, with medieval villages scattered across the Langhe hills.
The rooms
Rooms have antique cabinets fitted with copper basins, and some open onto private terraces looking across the valley.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Glass chandeliers hang above the pool, and wide picture windows look straight out toward the estate's hazelnut groves.
The spa
At the table
Breakfast arrives on vintage family china beneath exposed brick arches, set beside an open stone fireplace.
How it began
Sara and Danilo restored the 19th-century stone farmhouse with their own hands before opening the doors in 2015.
