Set in a beautiful borgo alongside three other houses, at Villa Dolcetto you feel like you are in the heart of the action, perfectly positioned behind the heated swimming pool and therefore making the most of the UNESCO classified landscapes.
Step inside and be wowed by the elegantly designed interiors and fine attention to detail with the professionally equipped kitchen featuring a temperature controlled wine cabinet, snug living areas and a welcoming dining room with its roaring fire. Across all three master bedrooms find antique furnishings alongside high quality linen and luxurious en suite bathrooms.
The pretty garden terrace and al-fresco dining area look out past the olive tree to the shared swimming pool and beyond where you can marvel at the views as you sip Barolo wine from the estate’s own vineyard.
Hire a chef to serve meals al-fresco using some of the region’s amazing ingredients such as rich tajarin pasta, Piemontese beef and the famous white truffles of Alba, matched alongside some of Italy’s most prestigious DOCG wines. Other superb services here range from cookery lessons and truffle hunting expeditions to vespa rental and, it goes without saying, visits to some of the brilliant wineries of the Langhe and beyond.
Wander through the estate’s own vast vineyards and hazelnut groves to admire the panoramic vistas around you or walk to an authentic restaurant serving delicious regional cuisine. Visit nearby hilltop villages and towns for local wineries and atmospheric Farmer’s markets including Alba, the gastronomic capital of the region and just 9km away.
Whether sampling the new wines of the spring, picnicking in the vineyards, hunting autumnal truffles or cosying up by the winter fire, staying at Villa Dolcetto allows you to enjoy Piedmont across all its wonderful seasons.
