"This intimate hotel in the rolling hills of Piedmont, the northern Italian region famous for Barolo and truffles, is the kind of place you almost want to keep secret so it doesn’t get overrun. But this stylishly updated 800-year-old farmhouse with a soothing spa, two pools, and a lovely garden really is too good to keep to yourself. After wine tastings at the nearby vineyards, settle in at the bistro for local specialties like mushroom risotto with Castelmagno cheese and hazelnuts and a glass of Barbera del Monferrato from the hotel’s own line. Doubles from $250." - Travel + Leisure Editors
