LOCANDA LA SALITA is an inn in Monforte d’Alba, in Piedmont, in the heart of the UNESCO-listed Langhe, featuring a garden, a terrace and an in-house restaurant serving local cuisine.
The property offers two room types, both with private bathroom, desk, flat-screen TV and tea and coffee facilities: the Standard Double Room, the largest at 26 square metres, with a balcony and city view, also suitable for a third person thanks to an extra futon; and the Small Double Room, at 20 square metres, with an independent entrance and a view over the inner garden, designed for those seeking a more intimate stay for two.
It’s an address well suited to a food-and-wine stay: the inn organizes cooking classes, bike tours and walking tours through the vineyards, and it sits just steps from the village’s restaurants and osterias. The area is particularly popular with couples, who have rated the location 9.2, and with those looking for an authentic base to explore Langhe, Roero and Monferrato.
LOCANDA LA SALITA offers two types of double room, both equipped with a private bathroom with shower, hairdryer and toiletries, flat-screen TV, desk and tea and coffee making facilities. The rooms share a simple, carefully finished style, designed for a couple’s stay in the heart of the Langhe, with independent access and local-style finishes.
What sets the two options apart is mainly size and view: the Standard Double Room is the more spacious, at 26 square metres, with a balcony overlooking the town and the option to accommodate up to three people thanks to an extra futon. The Small Double Room, at 20 square metres, has a cosier layout, with an independent entrance and a view over the garden and the inner courtyard, ideal for those seeking quiet and a closer connection to the property’s outdoor spaces.
This is the inn’s most spacious room, at 26 square metres, with a private balcony overlooking the town and the rooftops of the village. The independent entrance and the extra futon make it suitable for a third person as well, while the bathroom with shower completes a more generous solution compared to the other room type available.
Cosier than the Standard room, at 20 square metres, this room overlooks the inn’s garden and inner courtyard, offering a quiet setting with no view onto the street. The private bathroom also includes a bidet, while the independent entrance allows guests to move freely regardless of the property’s hours.
LOCANDA LA SALITA offers guests a garden and a terrace to relax in, as well as an in-house restaurant serving dishes from the Piedmontese tradition. Those wishing to experience the Langhe more actively can take part in cooking classes, bike tours and guided walking tours organized by the property, or visit the temporary art exhibitions held on site.
Every room has a private bathroom with shower, hairdryer, bidet and complimentary toiletries, as well as an electric kettle, fridge, desk and wardrobe. Housekeeping is provided daily and the property is entirely non-smoking, with one room designed for allergy sufferers.
WiFi is free throughout the inn, while air conditioning and heating ensure comfort in every season. There is no lift: the upper floors can only be reached by stairs, a detail to consider for guests with mobility issues or bulky luggage.
LOCANDA LA SALITA is located in the historic centre of Monforte d’Alba, one of the iconic villages of the Langhe, an area listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014 for its vineyard landscapes. The village sits on a hill at about 480 metres of altitude, with stone alleyways, a natural amphitheatre used for summer concerts and a view stretching over the Barolo and Barbera vineyard rows.
