Villa Beccaris had some pluses, but overall we wouldn’t choose to go back. The biggest plus was the location: the hotel grounds and breakfast room look out over a panorama of Barolo vineyards; it was a quick walk to good restaurants in town; and we could even walk to a local winery we had scoped out for a tasting (30 minutes along country roads). The staff were friendly too. And the breakfast buffet was good.

The drawback for us was the room. We got the suite (I think there’s only one), which we figured would be the best room on the property. The first thing we noticed was that it smelled old. I’m not sure if it was mustiness, or dust, or some air freshener that we associate with old houses, but it didn’t smell good to us. Fortunately we could open the windows. The smell returned if we left the windows closed for a while, though.

The suite was large, but most of it was a sitting area that wasn’t very useful. The bathroom was small. The furnishings were in an antique style that could have been charming, but things didn’t seem harmonious or well laid-out. And the bed was extremely firm; we didn’t sleep comfortably. All in all, we wouldn’t go back unless there’s a major renovation.

First, we have to realize where we ear, A hilltop village in an 18th century villa. Yeah, the rooms, even the upgraded ones are relatively small. No big deal. The grounds and views are tremendous. The staff was absolutely wonderful. we sat (unusual for me) and looked out at the vista while sipping wine and eating snacks. What could be nicer? If in the Langhe region, staying here is a non-starter. Book it and enjoy.

A marvelous antique villa, in a scenic position surrounded by the nice hills covered with grapes. Wonderful atmosphere with nice furnitures, spinning bikes on a balcony with incredible view, a beautiful swimming pool and a breakfast room with another outstanding view on the wine hills. Great service and well equipped room .
We will be back!!
