Villaggio Narrante – Le Case dei Conti Mirafiore is a 4-star hotel located at the entrance of the eponymous village, in the municipality of Serralunga d’Alba, in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Langhe. Born from the conversion of an old dwelling for families who worked the estate, it now offers 14 rooms divided into three categories, Comfort, Superior Terrace and Deluxe, furnished with Poliform furniture, Rubelli fabrics, Artemide lighting and Gessi-branded bathrooms.
Each room has air conditioning, a desk, a kettle, a minibar with a selection of wines from Fontanafredda and Casa E. di Mirafiore, a safe, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with bidet. A set of wine-based artisan amenities completes the offering. Breakfast, served every morning, is prepared by the Villaggio’s chefs using local products and offered as a buffet, Italian-style or takeaway.
The location is ideal for exploring the Barolo hills: Alba is 8 km away, Asti 34 km, while Cuneo and Turin airports can be reached in about 30 and 66 km respectively. The 24-hour reception speaks Italian, English and French, and is designed for those seeking a stay among vineyards, historic wine cellars and restaurants of the Langhe.
The fourteen rooms of Villaggio Narrante are divided into three categories, Comfort, Superior Terrace and Deluxe, but share the same attention to detail: Poliform furnishings, Rubelli fabrics, Artemide lighting and Gessi bathrooms with bidet. Each room is air-conditioned and equipped with a desk, electric kettle, minibar with glass-front refrigerator, safe and flat-screen TV, plus an amenity set made with the estate’s wines.
The main differences concern the size, which ranges from 24 to 36 square metres, and the outdoor spaces: some rooms look directly onto the vineyards with a balcony or private terrace, while the Deluxe, the largest, also has a bathtub. All accommodations are soundproofed, a detail appreciated by those seeking silence after a day among wine cellars and tastings.
The Standard Double Room is the entry point to the Villaggio Narrante range, with 27 square metres overlooking the rows of Nebbiolo. It is the only one among the base categories without a balcony or private terrace, favouring a larger interior space with a writing corner.
Compared to the Standard, the Superior Double Room gains a private balcony overlooking the vineyards, ideal for breakfast outdoors on milder mornings, while keeping a similar size of 26 square metres.
At 36 square metres, the Deluxe Room is the largest in the property and the only one with a bathtub instead of a shower, plus a vineyard view that can be enjoyed even while lying down.
The most compact of the four room types, at 24 square metres, makes up for its smaller size with a private balcony, a dedicated dining area and satellite channels on the flat-screen TV, as well as soundproofed walls.
Villaggio Narrante offers guests a 24-hour reception, private check-in and check-out service, luggage storage and free WiFi throughout the property. There is also ample free parking, complemented by an electric vehicle charging station, ideal for those arriving by car to explore the Langhe.
Among the dining services, the on-site restaurant, bar and in-room minibar with local wines stand out, while those wishing to relax can book a massage from the various types available or take part in cooking classes, bicycle tours and walking excursions organised by the property. The garden, the sun terrace and the picnic area complete the outdoor offering.
The property is also accessible to guests with disabilities, has a lift and accepts pets on request, with bowls and beds available.
Villaggio Narrante is located in Serralunga d’Alba, one of the best-known villages of the Langhe, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its wine-growing landscape.
