Relais Montemarino is a 3-star hotel set in a historic stone farmhouse, surrounded by orchards and vineyards in the heart of the Langhe, just outside Borgomale, 12 km from Alba.

Some room types offer a four-poster bed, balcony or hydromassage shower, while the Junior Suite adds a separate sitting area with a sofa bed.
Among the facilities, the heated pool overlooking the garden and countryside stands out, flanked by an outdoor area equipped with sun loungers and seating. Breakfast, served every morning, offers a buffet with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. The in-house wine cellar, stocked with local labels, allows guests to taste and buy wines from the area, with staff ready to recommend restaurants and wineries to visit nearby, well connected via the A6 and A33 motorways.
The rooms at Relais Montemarino were created within the old stone farmhouse and retain a rustic yet refined character, with exposed-brick walls, tiled floors and warm-toned furnishings.

Relais Montemarino stands just outside Borgomale, a small hilltop village in the heart of the Langhe, surrounded by vineyards and orchards that characterise the whole surrounding landscape. The area retains an authentic rural character, away from traffic yet well connected to the main towns in the province of Cuneo, within a wine-growing landscape recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The property is about 12 km southeast of Alba, easily reached via the A6 and A33 motorways. The nearest railway stations are Alba and Neive, both about 9 km away. Those arriving by air can use Cuneo-Levaldigi Airport, 38 km away, or Turin Airport, 70 km away.
