Relais Villa del Borgo

Villa Del Borgo is a true delight. Perched on the side of a hill overlooking the quaint town of Canelli and the valley and vineyard-lined hills beyond, built out of a 16th c. church and lovelingly restored, run by the wonderful Patrizia and her staff, this is a place that must be experienced to truly appreciate its qualities and charms. We used Villa Del Borgo as our hub for daily drives to nearby towns, wineries, restaurants, small hilltop villages. We went during the harvest season, which meant the vintners were waiting for that perfect few days to harvest their Barbera, Nebbiolo, and Barbaresco grapes. Patrizia serves as a conciege of sorts, helping to shape your day, always pointing you in an interesting and helpful direction. Villa Dep Borgo has a spa, each room is lovely, with high ceilings, wonderful views, remodeled bathrooms, and fine linens and pillows. Morning breakfast is run by Simona, and it is a plethora of pastries, meats, cheeses, coffees and espressos, and scrabled egs with parmasean if you so desire. The best meal we had in the two weeks we spent in Italy (including in Venice and Bologna) is literally across the cobble-stone street at Civico 15.

A boutique hotel with beautifully decorated rooms with a very hospitable owner and staff. We stayed at this hotel for the second time and will definitely visit it again, it was again a unique experience. A beautiful breakfast room where the buffet lacks nothing.

Amazing location. Room was impeccable and I really suggest everybody to try the suite if available. A work of art. Staff was extra kind and friendly. They arranged everything perfectly for us from arrival to check out. Don’t hesitate to ask them for a drink or a full “aperitivo”. Breakfast was beyond any expectation. They are just on point. Awesome experience.

We stayed in Villa del Borgo for two days. This is a family run small boutique hotel with excellent decoration. Hotel has been renovated 7 years from an old ancient dwelling. In the hotel you can see perfect blend of ancient characteristics with modern touches and signs. Owner Patrizia is a great host. She helped us with so many details, restaurant recommendations, truffle hunting, e Biking tours which made our stay memoriable. There is a great breakfast buffet with good selection of delicious home made pastiries, cookies . Highly recommended .

Patrizia and her staff were very professional, friendly and very accommodative. We enjoyed the wine and hors d’ouerves by the pool with beautiful views of Canelli on our first day's visit. Simona prepared delicious breakfasts each day and was always willing to please us. Enrico was present and helpful to all of us. Patrizia and her staff’s hospitality made it very comfortable for us and our friends.

My husband and I travel to Italy often. We have stayed at numerous four- and five-star hotels but Villa Del Borgo has to be now at the top of our list. It is absolutely exceptional down to every last detail. Patrizia and her staff provide a beautiful setting, incredible service, and delicious breakfast with a variety of savory and sweet items, not to mention eggs to order from love Simona. We can't stop thinking about our experience here and long to go back soon.
