Villa d'Amelia
Refined Italian country house — think rough stone and aged wood softened by warm-toned fabrics and contemporary furniture. Cozy fireplace and a piano in the lounge. Romantic without being fussy. A go-to for wine-focused couples and food travelers.
Book the DaMà restaurant even if you are staying elsewhere — it opens to non-guests Wednesday–Sunday evenings and Saturday–Sunday lunches.
Why It Matters
It sits squarely in the heart of the Langhe, a UNESCO-listed wine and truffle region, with one of the most scenic pool settings in Piedmont. The DaMà restaurant previously earned a Michelin star under Chef Damiano Nigro and remains a serious gastronomic destination. Also a verified member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World.
A late 19th-century farmhouse on a ridge in the Alta Langa, completely restored and sitting above hazelnut groves with unobstructed views stretching to the Monviso Alps. This is serious Piedmont wine country: Barolo is 25 minutes away, Barbaresco just 15, and Alba — the white truffle capital of the world — is a 20-minute drive. The DaMà restaurant anchors the experience, pairing local ingredients with ambitious modern cooking. But the building itself earns its keep too: a pretty inner courtyard, parquet floors, travertine marble bathrooms, and a heated outdoor pool that you can actually use in winter.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Attic Suite
40 sqm suite on the top floor with contemporary warm-toned furnishings and exposed recovered ceiling beams. Has a marble bathroom with bathtub and a double shower, plus a private terrace-solarium with panoramic Langhe views. The terrace is the standout feature — perfect for watching the sun set over the vineyards.
Double · 40 sqm
Deluxe Room
Same 18–22 sqm footprint as Superior but positioned for hill and valley views. Framed by rolling hazelnut-covered hillsides. Exquisite finishes, king bed, bathroom with either shower or bathtub. This is the most popular room type for couples.
King · 20 sqm
Junior Suite
26 sqm with a semi-poster king bed and a separate seating area. Bathrooms include a proper bathtub — one of the few room categories at this size that does. Good for longer stays or couples wanting extra breathing room. Views of the Relais surroundings.
King (semi-poster) · 26 sqmSan Luigi Chapel Suite
This was the aristocratic chapel of the original farmhouse — now a 45 sqm suite with a semi-flat double bed, comfortable living area, and a full bathroom with bathtub and shower. The architecture shows it: vaulted ceilings, recovered wooden beams, historical stonework. One guest called it 'the room and space (old church)' as their top highlight.
Double (semi-flat) · 45 sqmSuite Deluxe
At 48 sqm, the largest of the standard suites. Full separate living room, queen-size bed, and a private bathroom with both bathtub and shower. Views across the valley and surrounding hills. Sleeps up to 4. SLH photos show warm-toned upholstery and high ceilings.
Queen · 48 sqmSuperior Room
Entry-level rooms at 18–22 sqm — not large, but well done. Parquet floors, travertine marble bathrooms, and views looking onto the inner courtyard or the surrounding landscape. Either a double bed or two singles. Compact but refined.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
Two meeting rooms totaling 112 sqm (1,206 sqft) of conference space. Business center on site. Staff available to help organize events.
Classes organized by the Relais focused on Piedmontese recipes, local ingredients, and traditional Italian dishes. Think tajarin, agnolotti del plin, and the bonet dessert. Good way to take the flavors home.
Hotel-organized wine experiences in the surrounding Langhe region. The concierge team arranges visits to small and larger producers in Barolo, Barbaresco, and beyond, often calling ahead to secure appointments. Staff are particularly knowledgeable about local growers.
The property is surrounded by lush hazelnut groves — a key crop of the Alta Langa. Self-guided walks through the woods are a low-key highlight, especially in spring and autumn.
Hotel can arrange scooter rental for exploring the scenic Langhe roads and wine villages. A great way to hit Barolo, La Morra, Neive, and Monforte d'Alba in a day.
Hotel-organized truffle hunts in the Alta Langa area. Particularly popular in autumn when white truffles are in season. A local trifolao (truffle hunter) guides the experience with trained dogs.
The property can be reserved entirely for private use. Suitable for weddings and exclusive events in the Langhe. The inner courtyard and terraces provide natural settings.
