Monforte d'Alba is an excellent place for exploring the Barolo region, more restaurants than in the other villages. If you stay in Monforte, then Grappolo d'Oro is the place to stay, excellent restaurant in the hotel (didn't use it this time). The staff is very friendly and helpful, you feel at ease when you are there. We have visited in the spring the other times, this time in the middle of the summer, and the lack of air condition was a bit of a problem, warm nights in July. Other than that - perfect

We always come back to this hotel. Monforte d’Alba is perfect for exploring the Barolo area and no better place to stay than this hotel. Helpful staff, welcoming and really friendly. Good breakfast. If there is something to wish for, it’s air condition, if you visit at a really hot time, you must leave the balcony door open, and that can be a bit noisy in the early morning, since the hotel is just in the middle of the village.

Lovely big room, balcony overlooking the piazza, n fabulous views in the distance. Breakfast included n pite, helpful staff. BUT, it would be lovely to have ability to have a cuppa got tea or coffee in the room! Sounds like I'm nitpicking, but only hotel through 4 hotels in Italy that didn't have at least a kettle in the room!
In short, i would definitely return. Room 306

I've been here many times over the past 10 years and it's always wonderful. Located on the main piazza of this gorgeous little hilltop town, it offers excellent accommodation and, in my opinion, some of the best home-cooked food in Italy.
Family-run, the welcome is always warm and friendly. The rooms are big, beautifully decorated and with views out on to the town (see my photo) or to the alps. My favourite rooms are on the top floor, as they have verandahs you can get out on to, stroll around and take in the stunning vista. The second floor rooms are very nice too.
The hotel's restaurant (closed Sunday) is definitely worth the trip. Go for the gourmet menu and you will be served up with plates and plates of delicious food for not much money. The wine selection is vast, and the local staff are knowledgeable and will take the effort to make sure you get the right bottle. We once saw a gentleman at a neighbouring table quaff back a vintage Barolo, which would have set him back €100 or so, but there are fabulous wines available at under €20 too. The breakfast is excellent -- extremely good for Italy, the coffee is great.
I've brought visiting friends and family from New Zealand here over the years and they've always been charmed. One of the nice things about Monforte d'Alba is that it's not touristy, yet it's just down the road from Barolo and other famous wine villages. It's very relaxing. In fact, it's the place I dream of getting back to as soon as I leave. I hope you enjoy it as much as I always do.

That's right, just like "Cheers"...and Grappolo D'Oro even has its own Sam (Pier Paolo Rinaldi) and the beautiful and gracious Diane ( Lisa)! Pier Paolo, his brother Alberto, Mamma and Pappa Rinaldi are always on-site, at the bar, serving at the restaurant upstairs, and amusing visitors on the patio. The grandkids materialize frequently (bellissimo) as do a regular group of locals for their afternoon card games, local gossip, or a quick expresso. If you want a Piedmontese version of 'Friends,' this is the place. PP (who speaks the English just fine) will be happy to talk politics, art, philosophy (he has an advanced degree in political affairs) as well as the long history of the world....Alberto is the go-to guy for talks about the "donnas"....he has a lot to say about love and romance. The rooms are charming, the service is good, the atmosphere is welcoming....let them recommend the wine and the food, and just hold on for the ride! Bene!!!

This is a nice small hotel with well appointed,comfortable, rooms but that’s as far as it goes. We were booked, by Mac’s Adventure, for a Tuesday night stay as part of a walking program....arrived to find, much to our surprise, the hotel and all facilities closed. So called the number on the front door, front door opens, we are given a room and instructed how to enter and exit thru the side door....THOUGHT WE WERE GUESTS, BUT FEEL LIKE WE ARE AN UNWELCOME INMATES....concierge is unconcerned....we definitely don’t feel like guests. Moreover while the room is comfortable, there is no apparent air conditioning, no staff to call on Tuesday’s so we need to keep windows open for cool, but we are facing the square so lots of car/truck noise.....oh well. It’s a “never on a Tuesday” situation if you are thinking of booking....we would not repeat.

I have been in this hotel in July 2017. The hotel is located in the small square at the center of the village, very easy to be found. The hotel has a pivate parking, closed by a gate. The room was simple and clean and the bathroom large and very modern. The breakfast was excellent with typical products of the region, and the personnel was very polite and providing a lot of information. It's an excellent stop in a travel in one of the most beautiful region in Italy.

Perfect place to stay for 3 nights while we attended a friend's wedding nearby. The 'town' is more like a village, but is charming, with a handful of restaurants and bars. Hotel was clean and rooms were spacious, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant was also fantastic, with the streetside tables providing the perfect spot to watch the world. Only tiny criticism is that there is no air conditioning in the rooms, which, in late July in Italy, means they get very warm. We did, however, ask for a fan, and the staff were only too happy to accommodate. Coffee-making facilities in the rooms would also be a bonus, but the excellent coffee at breakfast meant it wasn't too much of a problem! PS You better like the sound of church bells for an alarm clock!

Grappolo D’Oro is a charming modern hotel located in the town’s center of picturesque Monforte d’Alba. It was a perfect place to stay while enjoying the local vineyards of Barolo and Barbaresco. My room was large, very clean and my bed comfortable. The room contained a good sized closet vanity, with a safe and extra pillows and blankets. There were plenty of plugs located all around the room to charge your equipment. There was also a high def TV with loads of channels (none in English though). The bathroom was also quite big and recently renovated. It was enclosed in a frosted glass wall which provided plenty of privacy. It had a large walk in shower with a raindrop showerhead as well as a moveable showerhead. Good pressure, took a few minutes to heat up but once it did there were was plenty of hot water. Tons of towels (on towel warmer) are provided as well as individually wrapped soaps, shampoos, toothbrushes etc. Breakfast was adequate with strong coffee, lovely breads and jams, cereal, fine cheeses, meats, juices, fruits and pastries. The hotel lobby has tables to sit and have a coffee, tea or a cocktail. They serve little tasty bites for the evening aperitif. Several tables are also located outside of the hotel. This seems to be a local hangout and everyone was very friendly. Also for sale in the lobby were many options to buy chocolate! For folks with foot problems, no worries, they have an elevator, and only two tiny steps to get into the lobby. Several tasty local restaurants and small stores within a few blocks or less of walking. Note, the ATM at the bank next door to the hotel snatched my ATM card because “the transaction took too long”. It wasn’t a big issue as the bank opened up the next day at 0830 and I was able to get my card back. All in all, a family run, lovely and quiet hotel that I would be more than happy to return to. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Good hotel with a very nice restaurant also. The town is fun to stay in. The hotel has a great set of tables outside right on the main square. Free wi-fi. Good breakfasts. Pleasant service. Restaurant has a good selection of Piedmontese specialities and a good selection of wines. The town is also full of enotecas.
