The first Relais dedicated to Barolo where everything has been conceived to be lived to the fullest and savored with calm, in the heart of one of the most prestigious Barolo crus. Welcome to Palás Cerequio, the temple of Barolo, a charming relais and the ideal starting place to discover the Langhe, recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

Located in La Morra, in the heart of one of the most famous crus of the “King of wines”, Palás Cerequio offers the luxury and magnetic charm of a total immersion in the world of Piedmont wine, allowing you to savor every moment with calm and sensibility.

The facility, owned by the historical Michele Chiarlo winery, once an ancient noble palace (Palás in Piedmontese dialect), has been completely renovated and offers its guests the unique experience of staying immersed among the vineyards, surrounded by lush nature, breathtaking landscapes and “artistic” spaces studied in detail.

The walls of Palás recount the most symbolic crus of Barolo through the works of Giancarlo Ferraris, a painter close to Michele Chiarlo, as the creator of his most famous labels. Next to the paintings are cases displaying lumps of earth from where the miracle begins, showing guests the differences and peculiarities of the area’s lands.

Inside the Caveau of Cerequio, aside from the collection of over 6,000 bottles, there can also be found precious documents preserved: the celebrated viticultural and oenological Monograph of the province of Cuneo, a volume written by Lorenzo Fantini in 1879.

Everything at Palás Cerequio is about the story and passion for Barolo, for quality wines and the joy of life, a typical trait of these extraordinary hills.

SUITES OF THE PAST
Located within the manor house, the four suites of the Past let guests drench in a classic, harmonious and refined atmosphere, with furnishings inspired by the elegance and charm of Piedmontese baroque.

Spacious and bright rooms, with day and night areas and private wellness spas overlooking the vineyards or the courtyard. Each suite is dedicated to a historic Barolo cru and a selection of bottles from the respective production areas is kept in a case carved into the wall: Cerequio, Cannubi, Rocche di Castiglione and Villero.

CEREQUIO
A very quiet suite featuring original pieces brought back to life, Cerequio is one of the most charming rooms in the Resort, par excellence. It has a splendid view of the vineyards and a certain charm of the past, ideal for those who love tranquility and classic luxury without forgoing modern comforts. Barolo, Monforte, Serralunga and other villages can be seen from the windows and from the old balcony.

CANNUBI
A suite with a classic character that recalls discreet and courteous hospitality, Cannubi enjoys a splendid view of the hills and a truly unique tranquility… ideal for those who like to rest in the elegant but not pretentious atmospheres that are typical of Piedmont in the past. A stunning glimpse of Barolo, Monforte, Serralunga and other villages can be seen from the windows.

SUITES OF THE FUTURE
Designed with a minimal and natural style, utilizing raw and precious materials (Luserna stone and oak trunks) and featuring breathtaking views of the vineyards, large living / sleeping spaces and a private wellness spa area.

Each suite of the future is dedicated to one of the famous Barolo crus, whose labels are kept in display cases: Vigna Rionda, Bussia, Arborina, Ginestra and Brunate. The decorations of the rooms are enriched with wooden poles recovered from the vineyards.

RIONDA
Rionda is Bussia’s younger sister, endowed with same character but giving off a completely different feeling and vibe. An open space suitable for couples or families who love basic design that hides every modern comfort.

BUSSIA
Bussia is a jewel nestled in the heart of Palás Cerequio: very bright, spacious, trendy, stylish, stunning, suitable for couples with an aesthetic taste but also for families who want extensive and homey spaces for their stay. It almost seems to “touch” the small village of Barolo.

THE TEMPLE OF BAROLO
At Palás Cerequio Barolo is the absolute protagonist: it accompanies guests on a journey towards well-being, inwardness, luxury and art. Every detail at Palás Cerequio is an invitation to savor, taste and discover in an immersive way all the infinite nuances of the “King of wines”, to know its most prestigious crus and the labels made by the hands of the most important and renowned wine producers of the area.

THE CAVEU OF BAROLO
Inside the eighteenth-century cellars of Palás Cerequio, the Caveau of Barolo lays in silence. Here is where the history of Michele Chiarlo winery resides: over half a century of Barolo vintages, from 1958 until present, are meticulously preserved, creating a unique collection of over 6,000 bottles of various sizes.

A thrill that can be experienced upon reservation, a chance to taste extremely rare and perfectly preserved labels of more than fifty years of age. The Caveau of Barolo is a home to wine culture: it houses a copy of the famous Monograph on Viticulture and Oenology of the province of Cuneo, written by Lorenzo Fantini in 1879.

EXCLUSIVE TASTINGS
Palás Cerequio’s vast wine collection offers a unique experience for true wine lovers: horizontal and vertical tastings, led by sommelier Roberto Stroppiana, of old vintages selected among the greatest expressions of the most prestigious crus of the Barolo denomination.

The private tastings, always available upon reservation, offer an impressive selection of over 400 labels from the cellars of Michele Chiarlo and the nine main Barolo Menzioni Geografiche Aggiuntive (MGA), the very ones that give their names to the suites: Brunate, Bussia, Cannubi, Cerequio, Ginestra, Arborina, Rocche di Castiglione, Vigna Rionda and Villero.

THE POOL 
Immersed among the vine rows of Cerequio is the Palás swimming pool, overlooking one of the most enchanting landscapes of the Langhe.

An infinity pool offering a view of the vast Barolo vineyards in a single glance, dotted by towers, castles, historic villages and noble cellars. A spacious relaxation area, recently renovated and widened, surrounds the pool: you can enjoy your apericru here, without taking your eyes off the view.

E-BIKE
Bicycles with pedal assistance are the most sustainable and dynamic way of discovering the Langhe, while combining physical activity and outdoor life. Palás Cerequio has four E-bikes available for guests. All bikes are regularly checked and are always available for hire (with a fee) upon reservation.

Immersed in the scent of hazelnuts, on a hilltop, with the delightful medieval village of Sinio at its feet and overlooking the enchanting panorama of the Langhe of Barolo, where castles and vineyards paint a landscape which relaxes the yes and enchants the mind, stands Tenuta Bricchi.

A place to spend more than a holiday, enjoying an experience steeped in silence, beauty and contact with nature. The historical farmhouse dates back to the beginning of the 19th century.

Sara and Danilo have taken care of it, renovating it with their own hands to create a place that reflects their philosophy of life. A simple and beautiful life, where nothing is left to chance and even the tiniest detail has its own raison d’être, in a balance that reveals an immense passion for hospitality.

The decision to create just five rooms in the large farmhouse, each different, each with its own personality, is proof of the attention to tranquillity, to privacy and to the personalisation of the experience.

Here at Tenuta Bricchi, every guest is different and everyone can choose to live their holiday exactly how they wish. Tenuta Bricchi has an indoor pool, open 12 months a year, with a Jacuzzi and the possibility to swim against the current, in a unique setting heated by the warmth of the fireplace.

INFINITY ROOM
As soon as they walk through the door, guests experience a sensation of pleasant freshness. The centrally positioned bed, forged from wrought iron by Danilo’s loving hands, has a pretty canopy draped with white veils that evoke the passionate candour of a honeymoon.

The curtains are white too, so that everything is light. Valuable antique furnishings continue to tell stories of days gone by, just waiting to come back to life in a memorably intimate holiday.

The room overlooks a spacious panoramic terrace, where lovers can enjoy a beautiful view of the Langhe and, on summer nights, a starry sky that brings fantasies to life.

PASSION ROOM
A room for two, two bodies, two hearts and a single destiny. Meeting and then meeting again, here, is just a matter of instinct. A space created exclusively for intimacy, where everything is double. An environment where romanticism inspires the fusion of thoughts and emotions.

Warm colours, golden curtains and a 2.40 x 2.10 m extra king size bed. A dormeuse at the foot of the bed to hold your thoughts.

A desk to hold your sensations. An antique-style bathtub in the room completes the warmth and the sense of intimacy, and a spacious terrace with an endless view fills the soul. The rest will be a surprise…

GOLD ROOM
This room is named after its “golden” floor and the elegant, antique furnishings. The majesty of the decorations is softened by the stones and the rustic materials that frame them, mitigating the dramatic effect and enhancing it, making it even more elegant.

The bathroom is fitted with a shower and is enriched with an old Piedmontese washbasin and by an old fireplace which is an original feature of the building.

THE SWIMMING POOL 
Dipping your body in the warmth of a pool, bathing your soul in an enveloping and relaxing atmosphere, gazing out onto a unique and beautifully coloured panorama – this is our pool!

With two large glass panels that offer a view over the hazelnut groves and the Langhe of Barolo, UNESCO World Heritage. The heated pool has two Jacuzzi areas and a system for swimming against the current.

THE BREAKFAST
Sara loves to amaze her guests with a homemade breakfast, created using typical, fresh and genuine ingredients. An artisan breakfast which follows the slow pace of the seasons, featuring fruit and vegetables, sweet and savoury. Delicious snacks are also served during the day.

TRUFFLE HUNTING
Simulated Alba White Truffle Hunt We offer truffle lovers the chance to go on a simulated “walk to hunt for truffles” in the woods around the farmhouse, with Danilo and his dog Luna.

THE LIBRARY
Quiet, meditation, reading a good book, a little conversation maybe accompanied by a tasting of chocolate and locally-produced liqueurs. A corner where you can sit and let your thoughts flow freely and gently. Simply forgetting about everything.

COOKING CLASS
Why not? Travelling and learning can be inspiring and fun. In Sara’s kitchen, learn how to make tajarin and other simple Piedmontese dishes.

THE ESTATE
Danilo personally runs the Tenuta Bricchi estate, made up of 11 hectares of land around the farmhouse, cultivated with hazelnuts and vines.

The cuisine of DaMà is a combination of tradition and experimentation, with particular attention to the use of excellent raw materials, with local ingredients from farmers, breeders and shepherds in the area.

WINES & TASTINGS
Villa d’Amelia is the starting point to discover hundreds of wineries disseminated across the region, from the best internationally renowned names and their historical wine reserves, to small producers often known just to wine enthusiasts.

Despite their differences, all wineries share passion and pride to get the best from their grapes. Amongst many varieties produced, the mostly known are Barolo (“the King of wines and the Wine of Kings”) and Barbaresco, produced with the same grapes (Nebbiolo) but with singular characteristics due to the different production areas, which are the two homonymous towns.

However, in this generous land there are many other wines that meet excellence. The preferred and historic production of Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto lives with white wines produced using local grapes like Arneis and Favorita that have a high quality level as well, not to forget the famous Moscato and Asti Spumante.

Our concierge service is at your entire disposal to suggest you one of the best local wineries and book a private visit with a wine tasting of the excellent wines produced together with the winemaker. In the meantime, you will also have the opportunity to learn the interesting process of the wine production.

The Langa region is a true paradise for gourmands. The territory offers first class ingredients, that together with the familiar traditions handed down from generation to generation allow you to enjoy nowadays the authentic “Langa” dishes.

Actually, in this area there are still many family run trattorie that defy the passage of time. The egg pasta used to prepare the “tajarin” or “plin” ravioli is homemade and the precious veal meat from the “Province of Granda” (name of the province of Cuneo in local dialect) is the basis for the preparation of ancient recipes like hand chopped raw meat, cold veal with tuna sauce and braised meat.

The simplest dishes are usually the most delicious and they look like they have been specially created to espouse the most precious autumnal ingredient, the Alba White Truffle, which will enhance their perfumes and tastes.

In fact the movement “Slow Food” was born in Bra (30 km away from Benevello), an association that “works to preserve the local cuisine, the traditional production, the animals or vegetables threatened with extinction and sustains a new model of agriculture, less intensive and cleaner” (www.slowfood.it)

The profusion of fine ingredients combined throughout the years to the creativity of new Chef generations, have brought international fame to the local gastronomy and turned this region into one of the Italian areas with the highest number of Michelin starred restaurants.

You are then spoilt for choice! Whether you are looking for a simple trattoria in which you can enjoy genuine and substantial dishes or you want to be a part of an haute cuisine experience in a fine dining restaurant, we will be pleased to help you out in planning your gastronomic appointments according to your preferences and to your daily itinerary!

The Langa has endless surprises for history and culture lovers. Go for a walk in this region’s capital, Alba, a small city with two thousand years of history that preserves with cure the old churches and many of the medieval towers that have named it as “the city with hundred towers”.

It is a must see site in which you can start discovering the artistic and architectural treasures of this part of the Piedmont. Almost every town nearby has an old village that is worthwhile a visit; we cannot list just a few of them without leaving apart others that deserve the same attention as well.

Some of them had a main role in the Piedmont and Italian history, others are writers and celebrities hometowns, and others simply have beautiful architecture or are located in suggestive areas with astonishing views.

Last but not least, there are many castles and fortresses built in different historical moments that have been transformed into museums, art galleries and are home of temporary art exhibitions.

It will be very easy to organize a small tour in which combining cultural visits with tempting gourmand stops, just wander from village to village and it will all come by itself…

But in case you prefer to have well defined benchmarks, please let us know; we will be pleased to assist you and lend you a GPS navigator in which we can program each part of the itinerary and do not leave anything at random!
