La Villa Hotel - Piedmont, Italy

About this Chic Retreat

La Villa is a multiple award-winning boutique hotel in the heart of the Piemonte countryside and vineyards. Most recently it was named as the best hotel in Italy in Travel and Leisure's 2010 Best Hotels of the World guide and has previously been selected as one of the Best 10 Small Hotels in Europe (TripAdvisor), one of the best 45 new hotels in the world (T+L) and has appeared 9 times on television in the past 5 years. La Villa Hotel has already established an enviable reputation as one of the most relaxing, indulgent and comfortable boutique hotels in Europe. Originally built for a wealthy local benefactor, the property has undergone careful and thoughtful renovation to restore many of the old country features typical of the area. La Villa Hotel currently accommodates up to 30 guests with suites, double and single rooms, all with antique and period furniture purchased in the local area. La Villa is set in the Piedmont (Piemonte in Italian) region, home of many of Italy's (and the world's) finest wines including Barolo, Barbaresco and Barbera, some of the most sought after cheeses in Italy, amaretti biscuits, artisan chocolate and grappa, plus the renowned white truffle!
