Quality Hotels & Spas in Italy

The Relais San Maurizio

"The best of all the quality hotels & spas in Italy and the premier luxury hotel in the Langhe wine region."

Of all the thermo spa resorts in Italy my wife rates this five star hotel as her favourite get-away resort in Italy.

I think it is the combination of the wonderful luxury spa and wellness centre combined with the sheer feeling of peace and tranquility that envelops you on arrival here that does it!!

The 5 star hotel and spa was once a monastery and the setting is breathtakingly beautiful.

The Relais San Maurizio is a fifteen minute drive from Alba in the heart of what is perhaps Italy's most beautiful wine route.

Every guest at this luxurious oasis is treated as royalty. So expect no less than the most sublime treatments at their enchanting spas. Surrender yourself to the tranquility and awe-inspiring beauty of your surroundings. Be pampered, relaxed, and revitalized in total luxury by highly skilled therapists, masters in the art of beauty therapy and rejuvenating treatments.

This luxury 5-star spa is the perfect place to indulge your body, mind, and soul.

For me, one of the highlights is eating at the high-quality Michelin-starred restaurant while my wife Maria becomes even lovelier in the spa. The restaurant Guido da Costigliole offers a gastronomic journey through the flavors and aromas of the local cuisine, expertly paired with some of the finest wines from the surrounding vineyards. They have an absolutely enormous wine list that includes many quality wines from small producers that are never found outside of Piedmont.

The restaurant's menu is based on seasonal ingredients, with an emphasis on locally sourced produce and traditional recipes with a modern twist. From the delicate and flavorful antipasti to the succulent meat dishes and decadent desserts, every dish is a work of art that showcases the passion and skill of the kitchen team.

The elegant and refined atmosphere of the restaurant, combined with the stunning views of the surrounding hills and vineyards, creates the perfect setting for a truly unforgettable dining experience. Whether you're looking for an intimate dinner for two or a celebration with friends and family, Guido da Costigliole is sure to impress and delight even the most discerning of palates.
