Relais Villa D’Amelia is a 4-star hotel in Benevello, in the heart of the Piedmont Langhe, set in a renovated farmhouse with a large garden and heated pool overlooking the Barolo countryside.
The property is designed for those seeking a stay focused on relaxation and food and wine: the indoor wellness centre includes a sauna, Turkish bath, hammam, whirlpool tub and a fitness area, while the restaurant serves Piedmontese dishes paired with wines from the area, Barolo above all. The six room types, from Superior to Suite Deluxe, share wooden floors, air conditioning, minibar and flat-screen TV, differing in size, view and amenities: from the bathtub in the Junior Suite to the private terrace of the suite of the same name.
Benevello lies between the Alps and the hills of Barolo, about fifteen minutes’ drive from Alba and the A33 motorway toll booth, in an area especially appreciated by couples for its intimate atmosphere and views over the surrounding vineyards.
The six room types at Relais Villa D’Amelia share wooden floors, air conditioning, minibar, flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with toiletries, but differ in size and view: they range from the 24 sqm of the Superior and Deluxe rooms, overlooking the inner courtyard or the vineyards, to the 57 sqm of the Suite Deluxe, the largest in the property.
Those looking for a space with a separate living area can choose between the Junior Suite, Suite Deluxe and Suite, all with a separate bedroom; the Junior Suite is the only one fitted with a bathtub, while the Suite with Terrace offers a private outdoor space with garden view. The larger suites include a sofa bed in the living room, useful for a third guest, making the range suitable for both couples and those travelling in small groups.
The Superior Room overlooks the inner courtyard or the hotel entrance and is the most basic option in the property, with 24 sqm, air conditioning, minibar and flat-screen TV.
Same size as the Superior but with a more prized view: the Deluxe Room looks out over the vineyards or the surrounding valley, a detail that makes it preferable for those seeking the typical Langhe panorama.
Made up of a living room and separate bedroom, the Junior Suite is the only room type in the property with a bathtub in addition to toiletries, and overlooks the villa’s garden.
At 57 sqm, this is the largest accommodation at the Relais: it features a separate living area with sofa bed, a shower, and a double view over the garden and the surrounding mountains.
The only room in the property with a private terrace overlooking the garden, ideal for those who want to enjoy the Langhe countryside from their own outdoor space, with a bathroom fitted with a shower and bidet.
Suite with a living room and separate bedroom, a shower in the bathroom and a view opening onto the villa’s garden and pool, suitable for three guests thanks to the sofa bed.
Relais Villa D’Amelia offers guests a full wellness centre with sauna, Turkish bath, hammam, whirlpool tub, massages and a small gym, as well as an outdoor pool with umbrellas, sun loungers and towels provided. The large garden and the sun terrace complete the outdoor common areas.
On the dining side, the hotel offers a gourmet restaurant and a bar, with the option of breakfast in the room and a selection of local wines and champagnes, including Barolo. Parking is free and equipped with an electric vehicle charging station, while guests travelling with pets can count on dedicated bowls and baskets.
Additional services include bicycle rental, organised excursions and hiking, shuttle service, 24-hour front desk, laundry and ironing service, and easy access for guests with disabilities, with a lift to the upper floors.
Relais Villa D’Amelia is located in the Manera hamlet of Benevello, a small village in the Langhe nestled among Barolo and Barbaresco vineyards. The area retains a strongly rural character, made up of renovated farmhouses, neat rows of vines and views opening onto the hills between the Alps and the Val Bormida, away from traffic and the more touristy centres of the area.
Just a short walk from the property, within 200 metres, there is a bakery with a wood-fired oven and two village restaurants, convenient for an informal dinner without needing a car. Alba, the truffle capital and home to the nearest railway station, can be reached in about 15 minutes by car (9 km), while the A33 motorway toll booth is a similar distance away. Cavour Castle is about 9 km away, and the Cedar of Lebanon nature park just under 12 km. For those arriving by air, Cuneo-Levaldigi airport is 38 km away, and Turin airport about 70 km.
The Langhe are experienced differently depending on the season: in autumn the area attracts truffle and grape harvest enthusiasts, with the Barolo and Barbaresco wineries open for tastings; in spring and summer, walks and bicycle excursions among the vineyards prevail, activities the hotel itself organises for guests. Alba is worth a visit for its medieval old town and food and wine markets, while the surrounding hills offer scenic routes suited both to those seeking peace and quiet and to those wanting to discover the historic wineries of the Barolo denomination.
Guests particularly praise comfort and cleanliness, both close to the maximum score, along with the staff, judged very helpful. The location among the Barolo hills is especially appreciated by couples, while value for money remains the most moderate of the overall ratings.
