Castello di Guarene

No detail is overlooked at this property and was one of the finest hotels I have ever stayed in. For weeks before arrival, I corresponded with their staff to arrange transfers and a tour. Christian was extremely prompt and helped me to make a variety of arrangements. He connected me with a tour guide for the day who was absolutely wonderful. Every member of the staff was welcoming and helpful. The food in the restaurant was among some of the best I had in Piedmont. I can't recommend this property enough! Thank you for such a wonderful stay and all of your assistance.

We spent 3 weeks vacationing in Italy in August and stayed at a couple of Relais & Chateaux's. The Castello di Guarene was absolutely our favorite. This property is simply perfection in every way. The castle and it's museum, the rooms, service, cuisine, wine cellar and sommelier were of the highest quality. Thank you chef Gerado for all you did for us!!!

This hotel is very unique - you feel like you are staying at the Louvres! It's spectacular, yet the rooms and spa are super well done. It's a unique experience. All rooms are interesting but higher up you have a nice view, while on ground floor you have a little garden.

Superb castle nested on top of a dominating hill overlooking the surrounding Piemont countryside. The castle is authentically preserved and has all the amenities including a beautiful indoor cave pool. The rooms are as expected in this historical castle. It has the « Relais-Château » label which means it’s one of a kind exclusive place.

The castle has a commanding view across the rolling hills and has beautiful views. The property is very well looked after by a cohesive team but the stand out team members are Giuseppe the manager of the property. He gave us a full tour of the castle (over an hour!) once we arrived. We thought that after a flight and a drive from Milan airport this might be too much but honestly the tour was so informative and interesting and we had so many questions. The castle is full of history and a tour is necessary to help get your bearings. Dinner was nice - great food and wine service from a friendly team but the setting terrace of the restaurant) had limited views of the garden. Breakfast was a small but quality affair. The lady in charge was very helpful, professional yet friendly and keen on providing an efficient service. She recalled coffee preferences and if anything was depleted she would call the kitchen to make more. Good local sparking wine to enjoy as well on the terrace with your continental breakfast! Reception was helpful in booking local restaurants. We appreciated this and ate out on most days. Osteria imperfeccta ( go early and get an outside table for amazing views) and Restaurant Aie (cozy outdoor seating with a surprise menu paired with bottles of magnums which keep switching between the tables). Unique experiences. The bar was empty on most evenings but it’s an enclosed room next to the restaurant. We had good chats with other couples on the occasions when we were in. The newly constructed health club was great and did not feel busy. Nice to use the relaxation/spa facilities for a set time per couple. Finally room was very spacious and comfortable. We were on the third floor. The castle only has 12 or so rooms so it never feels busy. It’s a great place and looking forward to returning soon!

One of a kind Castle! Feels like you’re staying in a museum! Exceptional service and amazing food. Amenities are plentiful!

Excellent stay! Our room in this castle was absolutely lovely. Very spacious, well-equipped, and with amazing views of the surroundings. The service was also very friendly. Notedly, this property is somehow very dog friendly with large gardens to roam about (we came with a golden retriever puppy). Would highly recommend.
