When I arrived to Le Case della Saracca, my breath was taken away by the amazing historic building in a small fairy-tale-like village surrounded by the beautiful landscape of the Langhe, Piedmont. Take a look at my attached photos and you will understand!
A unique address where six medieval houses have been transformed into a labyrinth of grottoes, suspended glass walkways, swirling metallic staircases and bedrooms with floating bed or bathroom carved out of the rock.
Mr. Giulio – the owner and perfect host - has created something exceptional from a 900 year old structure high up in Monforte. All 6 rooms are unique, with a combination of ancient walls, glass floors, modern fittings, basins fashioned from tree trunks, all done with style and flair.
Downstairs, there is a bar and restaurant that is clearly popular with people in town, for good reason! The food put a novel twist on traditional Piedmonts food and was delicious. The waiter managed to match a wine perfectly to each course! Before dinner Mr. Guilio invited me to a tour of his awesome, high tech wine cellar I the cave!
My room (Dormouse -Camera Ghiro) was comfortable and beautifully decorated with a balcony. The minibar is stocked full of non-alcoholic drinks and some chocolates and biscuits, all free of charge!
The breakfast was perfect with coffee, juice, bread, cheese and charcuterie overlooking wine yards from the small balcony
This is a unique place with a relaxed atmosphere, producing a magical ambience. Thanks to Mr. Guilio for one of the most memorable stay I have ever had!
I hope to be back again soon! Highly recommended!
Regards Svein-Magne Tunli from Bergen, Norway.

Not sure how you could find a more enjoyable hotel for your base in the Langhe than Le Case Della Saracca, or a more accommodating host than Guilio Perin. Monforte d'Alba is convenient for Barolo winery visits and the Saracca’s location and the views are outstanding.
Giulio has created a fantastic hotel, restaurant, and wine bar by combing and renovating adjoining stone building, the oldest dating over 1,000 years old. No attention to detail has been missed and the architecture/design work is fabulous. Ancient and modern aesthetics combine to create a multileveled retreat that reveals fascinating details everywhere your eyes wander. As an architecture fan and having built and renovated several homes, I was awed by Guilio’s creation. Hard to imagine the time, effort, expense that went into this project.
We were fortunate to book the Ca ‘d Camiot suite and our friends had the Dormouse suite. Sarraca's website photos do not justice to these two story spaces.

The owner of this property has renovated several old buildings in this scenic small, hillside town into a rustic warren of modern comfort. Walls have been left the original stone or brick (and in some places, the actual rock of the hillside); floors are cement, polished old wood or clear glass walkways on the upper floors. One chamber off the hallway is lit with candles each evening. The rustic but polished furniture adds to the charm. Several rooms (including ours) have their own balconies. But amidst this is everything modern - motion detector lighting, individual heat controls, comfortable beds, fully-equipped bathrooms with good ventilation and drainage, good lighting throughout, and even an electric tea kettle!
Add to this unusual lodging the wonderful views from the windows and balconies in this lovely town.
Then add the most helpful, personable and kind B&B owner I have ever met. Not only did he welcome us with wine from his cantina, but he made restaurant and winery reservations for us, and confirmed each of them for us, made sure we had extremely explicit directions, and even led us to the wineries. After each meal or visit, he asked us what we thought. Our communications with him prior to the trip were prompt and (again) helpful.
I feel like I have to say something less-positive so I don't sound like I'm making this all up! There is no hot breakfast, other than tea and instant coffee with the tea kettle (the basket of fruit is replenished daily). We really enjoyed going each morning to the bar/cafe in the piazza for cappuccino and brioche for breakfast, but not everyone would like that. Oh, and get specific directions to get to Le Case from the owner, or use mappy.com (that worked for us).
The pictures on the website, for once, are not as good as reality! Obviously, I can't say enough wonderful about this place; it is unique and a special, special find.

This hotel and restaurant is amazing on every level. The rooms are incredible - rustic and with a unique mood and the breakfast is delicious.
The food in the restaurant is brilliant and so is the service. The menu is varied and thw food is made to the Italian standard. The wine list is incredible, with a whole lot of excellent vintages.

We stayed for 3 nights and dined at the restaurant twice. As other reviews have stated, the hotel has an amazing atmosphere - a really innovative and tasteful redesign of a medieval structure. We stayed in Camiot which was a spacious room on two levels with great views from the terrace. The restaurant continues this theme and the food is high quality with a fabulous wine list. The antipasto on offer at the lively bar with pre-dinner drinks is extensive to say the least. The hotel is well-situated in the old part of the village and parking is easily accessed nearby. Monforte d'Alba Is also a great base from which to visit the entire Langhe region. But the best part of our stay was having such a welcoming host, Giulio. He has extensive knowledge of the region and gave us great tips on places to visit. Thank you, Giulio - we hope to back sometime!

We had a wonderful time in this completely unexpected Inn and its spectacular and equally eccentric restaurant. This is not a full service hotel, although Giulio the proprietor is seemingly always around with help and advice. The restaurant was the best place we ate in Italy (which is saying something.) The rooms are carved out of the hill, each in what appears to be it's own cave. Showers, electricity and wifi all present. Breakfast included. Funky, artsy town tumbles, literally, down the hill into Monforte. You will just have to see this to believe it. You won't regret it. The surrounding countryside is absolutely beautiful, with wineries, biking and hiking all to enjoy. Truffle hunting too, if you like!

We arrived at Le Case de La Saracca just about dark, and were disappointed when Giulio, the owner, told us there was a problem with our reservation; he had made a mistake and our room had been given to someone else, and there were no other rooms available. He then told us that he had booked us at Villa Beccaris, a more expensive neighboring hotel, and that he was paying the difference. Giulio then pointed us in the direction of the Villa and walked over to help us with our luggage and to assist with check in. We returned to Le Case della Sarraca for dinner. It was fabulous, including a great bottle of Barbera d’Alba. For our primi, my wife and I each had the Ravioli di Casa, a wonderful meat-filled little pasta that tasted exactly like the ravioli my grandmother use to make. My secundi was a delectable rabbit dish, and my wife chose a second primi: a mushroom risotto that she absolutely loved.
Giulio’s property is unique, and a wonderful example of how an historic structure can be repurposed. The location of our table was an experience in itself. Instead of seating us in the main dining room, Giulio led us to the tower. Each landing of the old stone stairway held a table; we chose the table second to the highest level. The other tables quickly filled with other guests. After dinner we ended up at the bar for some Grappa and Limoncello. Giulio came over and gave us a tour of his wine cellar. When I went to settle the bill, Giulio wouldn’t take any money and insisted that dinner was on him because of the mistake with our reservation. Truly a wonderful ending for what could have been an awful experience.

We've been to Le Case della Saracca many times for drinks and dinner, but never stayed there before. We went with friends this time and thought it would be good to try the accommodation. We weren't disappointed. The rooms are all individually designed and furnished. Well equipped with tea and coffee making facilities, biscuits and jams. The fridge is full of soft drinks, and all is included in the price of the room. As always Giulio (the owner) is the star of the show. I've never met a guy quite like him. He's charming, helpful, kind, and passionate about what he does. The food as always was simple, local cuisine, cooked very well and good value for money. The wines are amazing !!!!

We just spent three lovely nights at this unbelievable hotel in Monteforte. What a unique experience to sleep in rooms over 1000 years old! Very very comfortable, fantastic location, all amenities. Fabulous dining. breakfast must be ordered the night before and the kitchen is closed on wednesdays. The proprietor Julio is wonderful. Very helpful on all fronts and eager to please and go the extra mile for his guests. Very very reasonable price. We were surprised! Definitely will come back!
