Casa Nicolini

Surrounded by the vineyards of Barbaresco, Casa Nicolini is a 3-star hotel that welcomes guests with a warm, family atmosphere—perfect for those looking to unwind in the Langhe region.

It’s a 10-minute drive from the city of Alba and just 3 km from the town of Barbaresco. Asti is 30 minutes away by car, and Turin is about an hour's drive.

In the summer, guests can cool off outdoors in the swimming pool and a small hydromassage tub, both just 10 minutes from Alba.

The spa stays open during the other three seasons, capturing the mood of each: the colors and scents of autumn, the slow quiet of winter, and the fresh energy of spring. It’s designed to let guests pair cooler weather with a soothing wellness escape.

The rooms come with free WiFi, a flat-screen satellite TV, minibar, and classic-style furnishings. Some offer views over the Barbaresco hills.

A buffet breakfast is served in the hotel lobby, with panoramic views of the vineyards and an outdoor terrace available in good weather. The spread includes fresh fruit, sweet and savory options, and local cheeses and cured meats.

The on-site restaurant, called Visione, operates independently from the hotel and offers a gourmet dining experience.

Couples especially love the location—rating it 9.6 for two-person trips.
