In the Langhe the Barolo and Barbaresco villages are only a few kilometres apart, but the roads wind and you want to taste. So it pays to sleep among the vineyards. Many wineries have a few rooms or an agriturismo, often with a terrace overlooking the hills. Below are seven addresses, village by village.
Barolo
Casa Sobrero is a quiet relais among the vineyards, less than 300 metres from the centre of Castiglione Falletto. From the infinity pool you look out over the hills, from La Morra to Serralunga d'Alba. The neighbouring Valentino vineyard supplies the Nebbiolo for the house's top Barolo.

Dosio lies at 500 metres on the Serradenari hill in La Morra, the highest point in Barolo. Next to the winery is Antica Dimora Dosio, a restored eighteenth-century farmhouse with five rooms and two suites, all with views of the vineyards and, on clear days, the Monviso.

In Verduno, the least-known Barolo village, the Alessandria family has made wine for generations. Fratelli Alessandria receives visitors in an old stone winery in the centre, and you stay at their Speziale Wine Resort.
In the quiet village of Novello, ANT is a restaurant in an old Piedmontese farmhouse where you pick your bottle yourself from the shelves of the cellar. Two apartments in the historic centre mean you don't have to drive after dinner.

Dogliani
Poderi Luigi Einaudi in Dogliani is known for Dolcetto and also makes Barolo. The Relais dei Poderi Einaudi is on the estate, with a garden and a pool among the vines.
Barbaresco
Villa Garassino in Treiso is an agriturismo on a hill with a view over the Barbaresco vineyards. The five rooms were renovated in 2018, and in the bistro you eat Piedmontese dishes with wines from the Langhe and Roero.

Alta Langa
In the hamlet of San Luigi near Igliano, Charlotte Launay and Jérôme Migotto run Le Piemontesine, a restaurant with ten rooms and a suite. He cooks with French technique and local produce, and on clear days you can see the Alps from the rooms.
Tip
In October and November, during the white truffle season in Alba, the Langhe is at its busiest: book well ahead. Wineries are often closed on Sundays, so check opening hours before you plan your tastings. More addresses are in our Barolo and Barbaresco article and the Piedmont guide.
