We enjoyed our 4 night stay at this property. Pros: This might be the best located property in Roero/Langhe. What makes it so special are the beautiful views of Serralunga d' Alba in the distance and the beautiful green valley and vineyards in the forefront with no development obscuring the bucolic beauty. We also loved the views from a hilltop restaurant in La Morra but below us were many villages- also attractive but not as secluded and special as the Casa's location. The town of Alba was super unappealing and unattractive to us- I would steer clear of it. Cherasco had a dour beauty. Casa di Langa is very peaceful and quiet- a few animals can be heard in the distance at night and some roosters crowing in the morning. Night time lighting is also ideal and low as to not obscure the night sky. Sound insulation within the rooms is excellent. The room was slightly too warm for us: 72.4 F but by calling the front desk we were able to get an override on the thermostat- apparently remotely controlled. Very well staffed with pleasant and helpful concierges, parking valets, restaurant staff and twice daily maid service. Lobby and bar decor are very nice. Huge outdoor (partially covered) patio space just off the lobby with lots of comfortable seating. My husband really enjoyed his wine tasting class. The bath products and bed linens are very nice. Cons: despite getting a ”deluxe” category room with excellent views, our room was simply too small- it was about the size of our last cruise ship cabin. I don't think we will return but if we did, I would carefully scrutinize photos of the suites to see if they are an improvement. The covered patio for our room was large and initially I wondered why it was so big and the room was so small but then I realized the afternoon sun is so intense that the architects must've factored that in to the design. On our patio were two basic upright chairs which need to be replaced with something more comfortable and relaxed. The mattress, although comfortable, was a bit low to the ground for oldsters like us. The bath area was also smallish. There was only one low slung comfortable chair in the room and an upright desk chair which scraped loudly on the brick floor. Breakfast was excellent and well staffed although the outdoor tables, when weather is perfect, should be set and ready for guests who all want to go outside instead of trying to steer them to the inside. Our room was located above the restaurant and people dining outside in the morning were not an issue for us at all - even when we were outside on our patio. Faula restaurant- I'm sure the chef is talented and I would like to eat what he makes for himself or his family on his days off. We generally dislike Michelin type starred restaurants and found this one typically off putting. Too experimental- simpler is often better. Why the gimmick of presenting a few rice crackers on top of a bowl of rocks? What's the point? If you decide to stay here and have a car- don't
