Relais Almaranto is a 4-star hotel in Calamandrana, in the province of Asti, with a seasonal outdoor pool, fitness centre and garden overlooking the hills of Monferrato.
The property caters mainly to couples and adult travellers, since access is reserved for guests aged 18 and over: children and pets are not admitted. The nine room types, all air-conditioned, soundproofed and with a private bathroom, range from the compact King Standard Room to the larger suites with terrace, patio and hot tub, some with views of the pool or the inner garden.
Breakfast, served with buffet, continental, vegetarian and gluten-free options, is complemented by a restaurant offering Italian and Mediterranean cuisine along with local dishes, with menus available on request for vegan and dairy-free needs. Available services include bicycle rental, billiards and a garden with a sun terrace. The location in Calamandrana, among vineyards and villages of Monferrato, is especially appreciated by couples for its quiet setting and proximity to local restaurants within walking distance.
The rooms at Relais Almaranto span a wide range, from the 14 sqm Double Room to the 56 sqm King Suite with Hot Tub, the most spacious type in the property. All share air conditioning, soundproofed walls and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, hairdryer and toiletries, elements that ensure a good level of comfort across every category.
Moving up a level, the King rooms with balcony or terrace offer views of the inner courtyard or the garden, while the suites and junior suites introduce a separate living area, private patio and, in the most exclusive versions, a hot tub. The King Suite with Hot Tub stands out for its terrace overlooking the pool, while the entry-level rooms remain more compact and designed for shorter stays. The large double bed is the recurring feature in almost every room type.
The property’s entry-level room type, with a view of the inner courtyard rather than the garden or pool. The private bathroom with walk-in shower, bidet and toiletries is paired with a wardrobe, air conditioning and soundproofed walls, in a more compact setting compared to the rooms with a balcony.
Although it’s the smallest room in the property, this room gains exclusivity thanks to a private terrace and patio, absent in the King Standard Room. The private bathroom with walk-in shower and bidet is accompanied by air conditioning, a coffee machine and soundproofed walls.
Almost twice the size of the King Room with Balcony, this Deluxe room offers a terrace overlooking the property’s garden directly. Spacious, air-conditioned and soundproofed, it retains the private bathroom with walk-in shower as a base feature shared with the other King categories.
The same size as the Deluxe but with a patio instead of a terrace and a more open view over the outdoor spaces. The private bathroom with walk-in shower and bidet is paired with air conditioning and soundproofed walls, making it a valid, more discreet alternative.
The first room type with a living area separate from the bedroom, the true highlight is the hot tub, absent in the King categories. A private terrace and patio complete an accommodation designed for longer stays.
The same size as the Suite with Terrace but offered as a junior version, with the same hot tub and separate living area. The difference compared to the upper suite lies in the location and the slightly more basic furnishing of the common spaces.
At 47 sqm, this is among the largest accommodations in the property, featuring a balcony in addition to a terrace and patio. It includes a separate living area and a bathtub, but without a hot tub, thus setting it apart from the two previous suites with terrace.
The most spacious room type in the entire property, at 56 sqm, and the only one whose terrace overlooks the pool directly. The hot tub and the tea and coffee set complete the most exclusive accommodation at Relais Almaranto.
Relais Almaranto offers guests a seasonal outdoor pool, a fitness centre and a large garden with a sun terrace, ideal for relaxing between excursions among the vineyards of Monferrato. Free parking and WiFi are included throughout the property, while those travelling for work can rely on a business centre and meeting spaces.
On the dining front, the bar and in-house restaurant offer wine, champagne and menus for special diets on request, along with an on-site café. The rooms feature a private bathroom with bidet, hairdryer and complimentary toiletries, along with a wardrobe and bed linen.
Available activities include bicycle rental, bike tours, cooking classes and billiards, designed to help guests discover the surrounding area. There is also 24-hour security and keycard access to the rooms.
Relais Almaranto is located in Regione Quartino, on the outskirts of Calamandrana, a small town in the Monferrato area near Asti surrounded by vineyards and farmhouses, in a rural and peaceful area far from traffic yet close to the town centre. The setting is typical of the UNESCO World Heritage hills of Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, with views alternating between rows of vines and stone villages.
Calamandrana railway station is just 400 metres away, convenient for reaching Asti and Nizza Monferrato, while Canelli station is about 4.1 km away. By car, the centre of Canelli with its Castle can be reached in about 3.8 km, and the Torre dei Contini in 5 km. Those arriving by air can use Genoa-Sestri Airport, about 52 km away, or Cuneo-Levaldigi or Turin airports, both within 75 km. For dinner, Ristorante Adagio and Anima Lounge & Bistro are just 30 metres from the property.
The area is renowned for the production of Moscato d’Asti and Barbera, and in the warmer months it’s well suited to walks among the vineyards and visits to the cellars of Canelli, a UNESCO World Heritage site for its underground cathedrals. In autumn, the grape harvest brings the area to life with festivals and food and wine events, while all year round castles such as the one in Montegrosso d’Asti, about 12 km away, offer opportunities for half-day cultural excursions.
