Nordelaia

"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

"Piedmont is full of incredible landscapes, plus unforgettable food and wine experiences, and this brand-new 12-room hillside inn lives up to those lofty standards. Surrounded by five hectares of rolling vineyards, Nordelaia itself is a tightly contained operation. The rooms are thoughtfully designed — one is dramatic with a four-post bed and heavy yellow drapes while another is made more whimsical with a fresh coat of mint paint and a beautifully molded ceiling. Two different pools, a gorgeous spa, and two restaurants (a casual bistro concept and a fine-dining space) from chef Charles Pearce make Nordelaia feel like a mini-resort that you never need to leave." - Travel + Leisure Editors
