I am spending a week here at La Villa Hotel ……A hidden gem set in a stunning location surrounded by vineyards,
rolling Piemontese countryside, and framed by the Alps beyond. Built in 1600, La Villa has been transformed into a stylish and
chic retreat with a unique atmosphere – more like staying with friends than in a boutique hotel.
Piedmont is the birthplace of the Slow Food Movement and is renowned throughout the world for the quality of its food, the huge range of cheeses and hams, the flavours of its chocolate and coffee and, above all, its wines and famous white truffle. PLUS SO MUCH MORE !!!!
I am having so much fun, cooking, exploring the local markets for food to cook, the back alleys for interesting shops and getting lost. The Italians are so helpful and friendly.
I will keep this post short as I am about to have a massage…… life’s tough.
By changing as little of the old structure as possible, the rooms – six suites, seven doubles and one single – have retained their original features and sense of history whilst still offering all the modern comforts demanded by our sophisticated lifestyles. Some have claw foot baths, others walk-in showers. Some are with terraces or private balconies. Yet every one is light, spacious and with its own special charm.
