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.

The breakfast was a feast and the fact that you were given options and then surprised with their own fig jam and other homemade pastry delights was perfect.

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.

Claudio, the owner and manager of Antico Sipario, is contagiously enthousiastic and very, very hospitable. In addition, he's full of tips about the surroundings. You can ask anything you want to know about the region. Breakfast is a mix of local specialities (including the family's own olive oil) and contintental breakfast. You can ask for more or less of any of the ingredients and vent your own wishes.

Paola was a very kind and welcoming host. We got an upgrade to the villa because of construction works near our original unit. The last night we spent in the original unit, so we can compare! Both accommodation units are very nice, decoration is very stylish with attention to detail. Beds were great. The villa is larger and boasts a wonderful view of the swimming pool and the valley below. Breakfast was nice and plentiful, with both sweet and savoury options. There are two nice restaurants in the village and also a place to go for a drink with a view. We were there with a 1 year old and would recommend the villa in that case, because of the extra bedroom and the beautiful terrace, and also because the other units have a stair and no doors blocking the access to the stairs so you have to keep an eye on the little one :-) I also went to the spa, which has beautiful views all around and has everything you can ask for.

Relaxing location in the middle of country side. The very warm hospitality and support from Andrea & Anthony is a strong added value to the great brand new accomodation.

It is wonderful place. We were greeted by the castle's owner. We were the only guests and were surrounded by care and attention. This is an amazing historical place, and the castle owners put their hearts into preserving it. A walk through the castle with Chiara, who will tell you the history of this place, is a must. The restaurant is delicious and elegant in the evening. I recommend everyone come here.

I've seen so many hotels, but I've never seen such attention. The rooms are magnificent, the breakfast is fantastic, and the location is excellent. Buses depart from in front of the hotel, and the public parking lot is just steps away. When I arrived, it was full, so the owner came and gave me his own parking spot. They provide towels for the beach. We left ours on the beach, but despite our insistence, they refused to charge us extra. Rather than staying in a poor hotel in Positano, it's fantastic to stay at a magnificent hotel like this in Praiano and explore Positano by bus. When I asked for information about the beach, the staff opened a map and explained where to go, where to eat, and everything. They were always there for us and responded to every message immediately.

Cleanliness, breakfast and staff

The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The room and bathroom were very spacious. The bed was very comfortable and the garden is beautiful with flowers in bloom. I also had a lovely meal at the restaurant while enjoying the wine and the view from the terrace. I will definitely be back for another stay. .
