La Cascina del Monastero
Perfectly situated for exploring the Barolo wine region, this beautiful 16th-century family-run estate is part laid-back B&B and part winery, all just minutes away from La Morra. Converted from an outbuilding of soft stone and arcading, the suites and apartments are all beautifully furnished with exposed timbers, heavy Italian antiques, and brass bedframes. Exposed walls, beams, and wooden floors add to the traditional ambience of the place, while the bathrooms have every modern convenience. Guest facilities include an unusual spa, which includes a sauna in what appears to be a massive wine barrel; a sun terrace; and, best of all, the chance to taste the wines produced on the estate. There’s no restaurant (there are plenty of choices nearby), but the breakfast buffet kicks off the day in fine style. A camping area is available amid lovely scenery near the main house.
