Palas Cerequio

Palas Cerequio is more like dieci stelle! Nestled deep in the vineyards of the Langhe, this place is magical. It’s a true destination and without a doubt a great choice to just relax and unwind, or explore the local area. With only nine rooms– which by the way are insanely modernized, equipped with every amenity you can think of from jacuzzi tubs, to iphone docks, fluffy beds and uninterrupted views to wine country. AND Every room has either a steam bath or a sauna. Yep… it’s pure luxury. The coolest part is that four of the rooms are old Victorian still style and the other five are modern. This is because a portion of the property is historical and then they built a modern wing– somehow it all works beautifully. While I didn’t actually sleep here, I know all of this because I got a personal tour with the GM, Roberto. I was considering renting out the Palas for my wedding and we spent a few hours on the property. We got to see the rooms, the wine cellar, the tasting room and then we enjoyed a spectacular lunch on the terrace. The menu is elegant yet traditional Piemontese and the service is impeccable and first class, but unpretentious. And of course, the wine. You don’t have to be a guest here to tour the vineyard and setup a tasting. They have a phenomenal tasting cellar… it’s gorgeous and modern and elegant. Michele Chiarlo is the winemaker and owner of the vineyards and hotel. One of the top producers in the region. Wines are gorgeous. The cellar houses something like 50,000 bottles in addition to other top wines of the Langhe.
This place is a dream and I will absolutely be back for another meal and definitely an overnight stay.
