"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."

"Couple's vacation, everything in order. Well located and comfortable."

"good hotel"

"Not as great as in the pictures but I'm assuming this is a typical room in a small town such as this. The lighting could be better but overall still okay. Unfortunate I did not manage to go to their restaurant as it was closed on that day."

"We stumbled upon this wonderful inn by chance, after booking a nearby property (I won't name any names) that was terribly clean and had extremely rude and even aggressive staff. However, we were truly fortunate: La Locanda del Pilone is an oasis of peace and beauty, and we had a wonderful time. The property is an old house nestled in the vineyards, tastefully furnished with local antiques, immaculately clean, and beautifully scented. My sincere compliments to the Boroli family and to all, and I mean all, the staff: the reception staff, the housekeeper and cleaning staff, the dining room staff (measures and sommelier), and the fantastic team led by Michelin-starred Chef Federico Gallo, who was not only competent but also very friendly and kind. Our room was beautiful, spacious, with a large, new bathroom and spotlessly clean, featuring period furnishings that I personally love. The amenities also included wonderful Parma water, such as shower gels and toiletries. The towels, bathrobes, curtains, carpets, and drapes were all top-quality and so clean they looked like they came straight from the factory. It's a true 4-star hotel. We used the bistro and not the Michelin-starred one because we didn't want to bother other guests, as we have a one-year-old (a terrible age), but the staff was incredibly kind: they heated up his food for us and provided a high chair. The pool was beautiful and new. I recommend a tour of the cellar, with Arianna, a super knowledgeable winemaker, and her wines are sublime. The value for money is fair; you pay for quality, and that's fair enough, otherwise it wouldn't be quality. You made us feel at home; the facility and the staff were top-notch. We'll be back!!! Thank you for everything."

"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."
