Relais Villa del Borgo

The hotel staff was wonderful and the hotel itself is a perfect small gem. Fully renovated and equipped with modern amenities it is a tremendous value with a beautiful view of the city and valley below. We look forward to a future visit!

Villa Del Borgo is a true delight. Perched on the side of a hill overlooking the quaint town of Canelli and the valley and vineyard-lined hills beyond, built out of a 16th c. church and lovelingly restored, run by the wonderful Patrizia and her staff, this is a place that must be experienced to truly appreciate its qualities and charms. We used Villa Del Borgo as our hub for daily drives to nearby towns, wineries, restaurants, small hilltop villages. We went during the harvest season, which meant the vintners were waiting for that perfect few days to harvest their Barbera, Nebbiolo, and Barbaresco grapes. Patrizia serves as a conciege of sorts, helping to shape your day, always pointing you in an interesting and helpful direction. Villa Dep Borgo has a spa, each room is lovely, with high ceilings, wonderful views, remodeled bathrooms, and fine linens and pillows. Morning breakfast is run by Simona, and it is a plethora of pastries, meats, cheeses, coffees and espressos, and scrabled egs with parmasean if you so desire. The best meal we had in the two weeks we spent in Italy (including in Venice and Bologna) is literally across the cobble-stone street at Civico 15.

Een oud gedeelte van een klooster werd prachtig gerestaureerd met behoud van authentieke elementen. De ontvangst en het ontbijt alsook de service en ondersteuning in de zoektocht tot leuke uitstapjes was van zeer hoog niveau. Een bijzonder gastvrije eigenaresse maar ook haar team weet je snel thuis te laten voelen. De kamers zijn perfect afgewerkt en voorzien van alle gemakken. Het ontbijt is top en is een perfect begin van de dag in Canelli. De ligging in het oude gedeelte van het stadje is prachtig.
