"Hotel situato lungo strada, con ampio parcheggio.
Entro in camera, e mi assale l'odore di polvere: moquette sporca, tendaggio e una vecchia poltrona in tessuto ne sono la causa.
Prima sorpresa: la finestra è sigillata! Vedi foto.
Il bagno è cieco e non funziona l'aeratore, impossibile il ricambio di aria, brutta sensazione.
La seconda sorpresa arriva a colazione: alle 7 30 è già terminato tutto, ma io ho pagato anche per la colazione.
Un plauso alla receptionist che, lasciata sola, è...

"Sistemazione molto originale, location strategica per un soggiorno in Alta Langa, proprietari molto disponibili e attenti.
La "tana" è pulita e ben fornita, richiede un minimo di adattabilità, ma l'esperienza è stata molto positiva. La hot tub (a pagamento, ma con bottiglia di vino e stuzzichini compresi nel prezzo) è raccomandata."

"We stayed for 3 nights and wish we stayed longer! There were so much to do around the region, some within walkable distance for example a nearby winery. Accommodation is spacious, clean, and thoughtfully equipped. Mariella was lovely and truly a Six Star host who went above and beyond to help us sort out a rental car issue. Definitely recommend"

"The owner was very nice and accommodating.
The room was very nice too, however the bathroom had the smallest shower we have ever encountered. At most it was two feet by two feet inside dimensions.
Don’t drop the soap. :)"

"This place is a treasure. My room was fantastic. The staff was great, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. An incredible value in Italy. That night I went to the piazza where the mineral waters issue forth and enjoyed the night life, speaking with locals in my "rotto Italiano"."

"Soggiorno piacevole. Struttura carina con vista mozzafiato. Personale gentile e disponibile. Un unica pecca è il frigorifero nelle camere. Non funzionava bene"

"Palazzo antico arredato con gusto e molto curato e pulito. La sala in cui abbiamo cenato e fatto colazione era molto caratteristica, suggestiva e romantica. Il trattamento durante la cena è stato di ottimo livello. Cibo e vino di ottima qualità. Unica nota negativa: all'arrivo il bagno era freddo perché il termosifone risultava chiuso. Devo dire però che appena capito il problema la stanza da bagno si è riscaldata velocemente."

In town visiting Barolo producers that we work with in the US. Il Grappolo was clean and comefortable and the view of Monforte from my room was amazing. Breakfast was good and the staff was helpful.

This place is STUNNING! It is a 1600's monastery that was converted by a husband and wife team to into a bed and breakfast. They are the ones that run it and truly take of their guests out of personal pride for what they have created. It is located on quiet hillside surrounded by vineyards and farm land. A magnificent setting to get away from daily stresses and enjoy the beautiful wine country of Piedmont. Having a car is helpful since it is a bit of a walk to the nearest town, but they can...

The place is stunning, and the view from the room’s balcony is absolutely breathtaking.
Paolo, the hotel owner, is highly knowledgeable and provides excellent recommendations for trips in the area.
We had a wonderful time and hope to return soon!

This is a great place in an amazing location! Our room had a lovely balcony with table and chairs overlooking a vineyard hill :) The 2 biggest complaints we have are the bed-too hard and the pillows-too flat and they only give 1 pillow per person. Also, it seems that a lot "outsiders" use the parking lot of the hotel to visit park and walk to the town of Barolo. Because our balcony was over the parking lot it made it a lot noiser than we'd have liked! (I think they should try to control...

Casa Nicolini was the last stay of 9 Places on our tour in Italy, and I'm happy to tell, that this place was the one, where we received most for your money. Very nice rooms (some with a view over the wine yards), an excellent restaurant with local dishes and again with a super view. The staff and the waiters were very kind and the food was delicious. The included breakfast was one of a kind - we never saw anything better on our trip. The pool was a little worn and a bit dirty, but usuable.

Beautiful views in a town high up surrounded by grapes. Friendly owner didn't speak English but managed to show us where to park. The most memorable part of the experience was the restaurant downstairs - excellent, local dishes. One of the best meals we had in Italy. Waiter shaved truffles onto our pasta!
