Foresteria delle Vigne Diano d'Alba

The Foresteria delle Vigne is set in the beautiful, renowned wine-estate of Fontanafredda, a “village” founded by Emanuele Alberto, the son of King Vittorio Emanuele II, which became home to 250 people, all employed by the winery, and where 15 families still live today. An authentic place, immersed in 120 hectares of bionatural reserve in the heart of Barolo wine, surrounded by rolling hills and vineyards, where every corner has a unique view and a story to tell. The historical wine cellars of king Vittorio Emanuele II are open to the public and can be visited (upon reservation and payment).

Built between 1864 and 1865, the Foresteria delle Vigne is now a refined hotel, surrounded by nature, a few steps from the Royal Villa, in the beautiful estate of Fontanafredda & Casa E. of Mirafiore. It houses 11 rooms furnished in a classic, elegant style. Each room is named after a Fontanafredda wine, to celebrate the Village’s most important activity: producing the great wines of the Langhe. Guests are treated to a gourmet breakfast prepared on the spot by the resort’s chefs. The three restaurants of the complex, the 1-Michelin-star “GuidoRistorante”, in the Villa Reale, the informal “Osteria Disguido” in the Hotel Le Case dei Conti Mirafiore, and the Osteria Galarej in the Cascina Galarej, top off this amazing venue. The ideal place to rest and discover the beauty of the Langhe.
