Il Boscareto Resort & Spa

Line upon line of Italian grape vines ripple out from Il Boscareto Resort & Spa, positioning this boutique resort firmly in wine country. Stays here feel like being immersed in a landscape painting, as the beauty of Langhe, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is in every direction you look – from the hanging garden to the suites. Rooftop rooms are made for Barolo on your soaring half-moon terrace as the sun dips below the vineyard. While La Sovrana Spa draws inspiration from water, earth, air and flame, across its fire-lit relaxation room, alfresco garden solarium and centrepiece pool.

Wrapped in moveable glass walls, that sink into the floor on warm days, the stone pool is drenched in light and softens the line between inside and out. This is interior design in its natural element, a style that flows through the collection of beautifully crafted rooms and suites. Breathe in the quiet calm, and take in views that stretch all the way to the Alps and the cloud-piercing peak of Monte Rosa. For dinner, a trio of Michelin stars come out at La Rei Natura, which serves Piedmont on a perfectly executed plate. Meanwhile, Il Sunsì Bistrot elevates regional recipes, with a dash of Sicilian influences – and a backdrop that’s utterly breathtaking.  

After taking in the scenery from the Sunsì Bistrot terrazza, step into the Serralunga d’Alba panorama. You could stroll the surrounding vineyards, discover the storybook tower of the nearby 14th-century castle, or join a trifulau to hunt out prized truffles in the woods. Those with energy to burn – and boots in their luggage – can up the pace on a guided hike through the wave-like hills and ancient forests that circle Il Boscareto. Or don a headscarf and hop on a Vespa to channel your inner movie star. Head to the hotel’s family-owned Batasiolo winery for a tour of its spectacular barrel cellar (and, of course, a tasting). Back at the hotel, settle onto the lawns for an exquisitely styled picnic, or enjoy a full flavour of Langhe with a cheese-tasting experience.
