Hotel Castello Di Sinio
8/10 on 1 reviews
Staying in an Italian castle is always special, but a unique experience when you are in the heart of one of the most famous areas in the world for wine and gastronomic specialities: Langhe, Piemonte.
Sinio Castle, one of the oldest castles in the region built by the Marquis of Carretto in 1142, dominates the medieval town in the centre of the famous Barolo and Barbaresco wine production areas. Magnificently restored with original materials: stone walls, authentic terracotta, ancient chestnut wood beams, internal finish and furnishings.
The bedrooms, elegant, charming and ad hoc, have romantic views of the surrounding vineyards and Piemonte hills. Damask curtains and bed-covers make the rooms warm, inviting and relaxing. Two large suites have all amenities: one in the ancient chapel with suggestive arched ceiling
The professionalism and cordiality of the owners, Denise and James, is indescribable and refined delicacies prepared by Denise are incomparable. The exceptional restaurant has a vast choice of culinary delights, from old Piemonte recipes to the rich cuisine of the historical court of the House of Savoy.

His Opinion: Everything was just splendid. Atmoshere, locality, architechture, service, kitchen, hospitality, kindness of host/hostess and crew.
I was particularly amazed by the careful, but professional way the houses and all their contents was modernised, decorated and brought back to its original looks and atmosphere, in spite the modern facilities you just had to include in the project.
Best regards Ole and Tordis Dahlberg

His Opinion: Execellent hotel and just some minor comments:
1. Very much focused on english speaking guests and in particular americans, i.e. guest information in room only in english.
2. Restrictions on where drinks can be had, i.e. no drinks at the poolside area tables because of the risk to brake a glass if dropped against the stone floor !!! Other drinking area has the same stone floor and drinking is allowed??
3. Internet access only in the reception area
4. Very limited number of dinner seats

His Opinion: Hi guys!
Here is the review I posted today on Trip Advisor--we really loved staying with you and hope to see you again! Best of luck with everything!!
"Yes I love being able to say that we got to spend 2 nights in a 1,000 year old castle... But what we really loved--well, where do I start...
The Castello di Sinio is run by James and Denise, a wonderful American couple who have painstakingly ensured that their guests have everything a traveler could possibly want or need--including charming and comfortable accomodations, gracious hospitality (which doesn't have to translate as "delicious grappa after dinner" but it certainly doesn't hurt), fantastic recommendations and connections to everything from restaurants to winery visits--I could go on...James even made sure we got back to Milan and our next hotel, complete with directions in English!
For our first visit to Piedmont, we couldn't have picked a better location or hotel. We hope to return soon!
