Palas Cerequio

Set among the rolling hills of the Langhe, just 2 kilometres from the village of La Morra, this elegant estate winery boasts an outdoor swimming pool and its own private wine cellar. Each suite features a refined bathroom and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels.

The design-led suites at Palas Cerequio are spread across three separate buildings within the estate grounds. Every room comes with a cosy seating area, an iPod dock, plush bathrobes and slippers, while most also include either a steam shower or a sauna for extra relaxation.

Breakfast is served in a bright, welcoming lounge furnished with sofas and a television, offering local specialities such as cheeses and cured meats. The à-la-carte restaurant is open for both lunch and dinner.

Guests enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the property, as well as access to a library and a garden that looks out over the picturesque countryside. The centre of Alba is a 14-kilometre drive away, Turin can be reached in about an hour by car, and free parking is available on site.

Couples are especially fond of the setting—they’ve given it a location score of 9.6 for two-person getaways.
