La Cascina di Carlotta 1846 Agriturismo

Family run and very welcoming. We stayed in one of the 3 bungalows by the pool. As we like an early morning swim, Fausto kindly opened and prepared the pool early every morning especially for us during our week stay. He made every effort to make us comfortable and meet our needs. The breakfasts were excellent. Great e-bikes are available to explore the beautiful surroundings. We really enjoyed our stay.

This is by far the best place we stayed while on holiday in Italy! La Cascina di Carlotta is located near Alba. The appartment we hired was top notch! Modern, well built, quiet (very good isolated), aircondition, great bed, kitchen, bathroom, all in excellent condition. The entrance of the house and apartment is very comfortable with code locks. Your car can be parked safely in the parkinglot. There is a remote controlled fence. No worries whatsoever. The breakfast was more than excellent. And Fausto, the owner and husband of Carlotta, is the most warm and friendly host we ever met at such an accomodation. He is active in helping you out finding the right places to go and restaurants to eat and makes you feel at home. Not convinced yet? Read all the other reviews here and you will find out it all comes to the same conclusion: this is the perfect place to be when visiting the Piëmonte (Langhe region)! We will definitely go back. Thank you Fausto and Carlotte for the great stay we had!

We will start by saying that we consider ourselves to be fairly exacting people who have travelled all over the world. Centrally located in the heart of the breathtakingly stunning Piedmont wine region, in between La Mora and Alba, Cacsina Di Carlotta is simply EXTRAORDINARY. The rooms are impeccable and immaculate, so very, very comfortable, surrounded by the most magnificent Vineyards and Wineries, such as Barolo, Barbaresco, Contotto for sparkling wine and infinite smaller vineyards at every turn. Literally!! The inn is also set amongst mountains, hillsides, Hazlenut forests, and vistas imaginable. This inn is a lavender farm, complete with chickens for the most delicious fresh eggs at breakfast, donkeys, and a family with their three adorable dogs and the most professional and reliable service you will find anywhere. The breakfasts are simply magnificent.; fresh European yogurts, pastries of every ilk, some of the best coffee we have ever sipped, cheeses that would make any cheese lover dance with joy, and fresh fruit and fresh juices to your hearts delight. The proprietor, Fausto, made each recommendation for our daily experiences including the most marvelous restaurants in the most obscure and beautiful roads nearby, places with Michelin quality quality food that you would never knew existed had he not told us! And, at unbelievably low prices!! One of his recommendations was a Truffle Hunt, which we fortunately took advantage of, and which will remain a highlight of our trip and a memory forever. And yes, we did find four beautiful black truffles with the help of the Truffle Hunter dog and his Truffle Hunter handler. We highly recommend this experience! It is rare to find proprietors who so completely pour themselves into their guests’ experiences. We had actually booked with another inn, and were so disappointed when we arrived as it was a complete misrepresentation; thus, we were incredibly lucky to be able to change our reservation and find this room available at Cascina Di Carlotta, because they had a last-minute cancellation. We were so fortunate. We feel like we made friends forever and we feel like we are part of their family. Maybe this happens to every guest and that is part of the charm and reality of this beautiful, beautiful inn. We will absolutely return, as soon as life permits!
