Relais Villa d’Amelia is a beautiful hotel based in a 19th-century farmhouse nestled among the vineyards and hazelnut groves of Piedmont’s Langhe district, just a short drive from the towns of Alba and Barolo. Surrounded by a splendid park sprawling over 7 acres, the villa features elegant interiors with a warm and cosy feeling, mixing sleek, modern furnishings with authentic period elements like the wood-beamed ceilings and the terracotta-tiled floors.
Wine lovers will be won over by the fantastic selection of Piedmont’s blends kept inside the estate’s former chapel, which can be enjoyed al fresco in the delightful cobbled courtyard sprinkled with comfy seating areas (this is an excellent spot for a candlelight nightcap, too). Back inside, there’s an elegant bar with soft lights, oriental carpets and oak-beamed ceilings, where you can cosy up by the fireplace on colder days.
