La Torricella In Monforte d'alba

I'll start by saying we weren't able to go due to our baby's illness...obviously last minute! They were kind enough to let us know over the May 1st long weekend that they wouldn't charge us anything! That's not a given these days. We'll be rescheduling our trip soon thanks to the infinite kindness of the staff and owners! See you soon.

Excellent location overlooking the entire valley from Monforte almost to Alba. Excellent facility, always present, very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent restaurant with good wine pairings at more than reasonable prices. The blind wine tastings are wonderful.

We stayed in a beautiful room, super attentive service, the dinner was wonderful, the staff was super attentive, the location was incredible.

We stayed here one night for my boyfriend's birthday and what can I say? We fell in love with it! Besides being beautiful, the place is also meticulously maintained. The staff is professional and friendly, and their attention to detail shines through. The restaurant is sublime, with prices in line with the quality offered. The highlight was definitely the hot tub overlooking the vineyards. If you're passing through, a stop here is a must! Even just for a tasting in their cellar. Everything was perfect!

We ate at La Torricella restaurant, a truly wonderful place with a spectacular view of the entire Langhe. We ate on the veranda, but unfortunately, there was a very noisy table next to us, and we struggled to communicate. As soon as we were seated, we were served a small entrée, which was very welcome. For our appetizer, we ordered veal with tuna sauce, but unfortunately it wasn't up to par; the meat was heavily marbled, making it difficult to chew and unpleasant. The first course, braised ravioli, was overall good, while the lamb turned out to be truly excellent. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout the service. The price was reasonable, in line with the overall quality of the experience.

A window onto the Langhe. Beautiful and impeccable location and structure, with attention to aesthetic details, a blend of new and old. The outdoor space is delightful, with a wonderful view of the surrounding hills, convenient on-site parking, and an on-site wine cellar. Nice and clean room with a private terrace. Guests can use the outdoor pool, and there's a spa treatment available for an additional fee. More negative notes: The welcome was a bit cold, and for a farmhouse, the atmosphere was austere and focused more on "luxury" than on substance and personal service. The noise, probably from a boiler (?) very close by in what appeared to be the "annex" in front of the structure, was incessant, day and night, especially at night, in the uninterrupted and magical silence of the Langhe. The room temperature was extremely high, so hot it wasn't suitable for sleeping. The same was true for the breakfast room, which was a beautiful location but a bit of an "oven" inside. Little attention was paid to breakfast: it was served quickly even though there were very few tourists at the time of our stay. The drinks came first, followed by the food. No attention was paid to even asking guests if, for example, they'd prefer to have it in the beautiful garden given the heat. Finally, the bidet in the ensuite bathroom wasn't designed for human legs because the space between it and the shower is so small.

We had lunch here on the recommendation of a friend. A charming place with a beautiful view of the Langhe. Spa, rooms, and restaurant, with a visit to the cellar. Option of a varied tasting menu or à la carte menu, with reasonable prices (in fact, I'd say reasonable given the quality). Everything was truly delicious, the staff were friendly and helpful. The bathroom was fragrant and equipped with every comfort, as well as the overall cleanliness of the facility. Convenient parking right next to the location. Highly recommend!

Tasting with lunch. Truly exceptional wines. I recommend the Langhe Chardonnay 2025 and A modo Suo. Two gems in their own right. Barolo Barbadelchi. Absolutely top notch. Lunch deserves applause, I'd say. Service and location views. Wonderful 🫶🏻🔝🍾 🍷 We'll be back 🍷

Restaurant review. 10. When everything is perfect….

I was a guest at a friend's wedding this summer...wonderful location and delicious food! Special mention: the service staff: attentive and kind.
