"Nice hotel and lovely town. We enjoyed the stay there and defiantly will come back!"

"Located near the outskirts of Alba, about a 30-minute walk from downtown Alba, it's very quiet. The one-bedroom apartment is sufficient, but the Wi-Fi isn't very fast."

"Helpful, attentive, and professional staff. Nice atmosphere. Excellent parking. Nice and clean rooms. Abundant and generous breakfast. Excellent. The extremely unfair and disappointing policy is the request for an extra €25 at check-in (and not specified during the booking process) for the second person's stay, even though I specifically booked (on ***********) a DOUBLE ROOM FOR TWO ADULTS!!!"

"good hotel"

"This hotel is very much into cost cutting and skimping. The hotel has good potential but in the end gives as little as it can. My dad nearly fell in the shower as they didnt have anti slip mats, which are generally standard in a 4 star hotel. There were no tea making facilities. They advertised a coffee and drinks bar on the ground floor but it wasn't staffed and on one occassion when we did try to ask a staff member, they had run out of draught beer. Another night, we were told it was closed and we thought, this is supposed to be 4 star, and its all closed before 10:30! Restaurant was lovely for food but again, some nights closed, and you got kicked out early. We tried to have a drink after dinner, but were told, they'd closed. This was c.9:30. Gym was not a gym, just a few items crammed into a small room to tick a box, a bit like the coffee and drinks bar - both used to tick a box and say "we provide...". Worst of all was breakfast - terrible! Very narrow selection, stale and cardboard type food. No salads or good quality food. What was there was generally UPF. Toaster had only one type of white skinny UPF bread, and this hotel stocked a minimum, running out and topping up with 5 or 6 slices. After 2nd day, I just settled for a small pack of gone off All Bran, then got fresh food in a local cafe. Location is very close to Alba but if you plan staying in this hotel, be prepared - bring your own anti-slip mat, your own kettle and tea, your own toilet paper, and best to avoid booking breakfast, if you do, you'll only eat really poor quality food for breakfast in this hotel. Air con was also terrible and would not set lower than 22 degrees, though even at that, it didnt appear to function as well as in other hotels. Hotel Scrooge!"

"Just minutes from the center of Alba, you're surrounded by the Langa hills and vineyards. Beyond the refined location and exquisite cuisine, I'd say a major strength is the staff who guide guests on this remarkable food and wine journey. Appreciation for the attention paid to the silence and privacy where guests can enjoy this moment away from everyday life."

"The Medea exceeded our expectations in every way. Be aware that without a car it is a bit isolated. We did have a car, though, so it was great to have free parking on the premises, and only a 5-minute drive into Alba. It was also easily accessible to the many other places we visited, much more so than if we had stayed in the center of Alba. The room and public areas are spotless, the decor is traditional with good quality wood furniture, the bathroom is well-equipped and large, the king-size bed very comfortable. The staff could not have been nicer. We do not eat breakfast, so it was nice to have the option not to include it."

"We stayed in the 120 m² penthouse apartment, which was modern and tastefully furnished. It had two bedrooms and a spacious, fully equipped kitchen (with a Nespresso machine and capsules!). There's a terrace that wraps around the entire apartment with plenty of seating and some lovely views. The apartment is high enough that it's not too noisy during the day. Parking is available nearby. The owner was friendly, and check-in via mobile phone was hassle-free. We would definitely stay here again."

"We came at about 13:00 h to the hotel. We wanted to see our room. But the young woman was refusing to let us see the room. She said that she is just now having lunch. She wanted us to come back at the correct check in time. But the way to the hotel at in middle of the vineyard area is far away from town. We eventually went to another hotel. They deducted the full amount for the four days we made the reservation. I think that is not acceptable."
