They were the most helpful team we've ever seen: friendly, knowledgeable, service oriented. Katarina (and her brother) performed every task their staff members did. Cooking, cleaning, etc. before leaving we found out why - their family owns it.

We stayed for four nights and there was not really a big change concerning the choice of food. Oviglio is a VERY small village/town. Therefore, this hotel is recommended for people who are looking for a calm and nice place. The whole staff was very obliging and polite. We did not try the restaurant of the hotel so I cannot say anything about the cooking.

The rest you can see if you keep scrolling to the end of the photo set. Rooms are outdated but functional and reasonably priced. My only big complaint was no AC. During some times of the year, like when I stayed, the room was very warm and opening the window didn't help much. The restaurant below is a great plus. Quality dinner and decent breakfast in the morning. I had the gnocchi the first night....delicious! Staff was friendly and helpful. They do have English menus to save you from diving deep into google translate.

Lovely agriturismo in the Piedmont area of Italy. Great location to explore Alba, Asti, Barolo,…read moreBarbaresco and Turin. It is essential to have a car in this area. This place is run by Hans, Maria Teresa and their son Christopher. While there, Christopher and his truffle dog Charlie took a group out for truffle hunting. They were successful so one night pasta with truffles was on the menu. The evening meals here are outstanding. 5 courses each night for 30e. The agriturismo itself is set in a farming area with rolling hills. It has a pool which we did not use. Rooms were spacious and spotless.

Situated up in the hills above Turin (about 20 mins drive) in a peacefully idyllic location, this…read moreplace is a firm favourite. It is very good value for money and tastefully designed with wings centred round a courtyard. The rooms are reasonably-sized with cheerfully tiled bathrooms and the whole place is kept spotless. Every time we have stayed there, it has been very thinly occupied, which means that you can often have the pleasant swimming pool to yourself. Adjoining it is a 9-hole golf course and superb restaurant (about one minute on foot). I think that they share business interests but are independent. As a hotel guest, you have visitor's rights to the golf club bar. The restaurant is again excellent value for money, although I feel that I have cheated myself by not exploring its entire possibilities. The thing is that with the local Piedmontese speciality antipasto - you just want to keep going back for more of the diverse glory on offer. As often, breakfast (amusingly called 'colazione' in Italian) is not much of a collation, although the coffee is, of course, first rate. However, if those orange melons are in season, it can become a real collation! If you want to visit Turin and wake up in the mountain air, it's a real special. Not all the staff speak English, but can usually find someone who does. For instance the manager of the restaurant, who very kindly introduced me to Italian coffee-flavoured cigars.
