Relais San Maurizio is an
elegant hotel nestling amidst the gentle hillside of Langhe, land where
some of Piedmont's most highly prized wines are produced and known,
throughout the world, for its exquisite white truffles.
Relais San Maurizio, one of the region's most exclusive hotels, occupies
an edifice dating all the way back to the early 17th century, when it
was built as religious retreat for the Franciscan order. In 1862, Count
Luigi Incisa Beccaria purchased the estate and transformed it in his own
private dwelling.
The former monastery and aristocratic residence is now home to Hotel
Relais San Maurizio, offering beautiful guest accommodation in thirty
one bedrooms and suites complete with original frescoes and antiques.
What were once the monks' cells have been transformed in attractive
bedrooms and junior suites. Relais San Maurizio's luxurious suites are
situated in outbuildings once used as stables and the estate's oil
press.
Relais San Maurizio provides the unique location for the Michelin Star
restaurant Di Guido, famous for its excellent regional cuisine, in which
prestigious ingredients such as Piedmont's fabulous truffles are used to
maximum effect. The intimate Bar Hemingway is a favorite haunt for
connoisseurs of fine wines and spirits.
The Via del Sale medical & beauty Spa is a state-of-the-art facility in
which to enjoy treatments specially designed so as to exploit the
therapeutic qualities of salt. The Med Spa also offers special diet and
fitness programs, chromo therapy, and an innovative program for eye
health. The landscapes of Piedmont are, in themselves, a rich source of
wellbeing. As are the peace and tranquility enveloping Relais San
Maurizio's park, gardens, and vineyards. The hotel's heated swimming
pool is the perfect place where to enjoy in moments of total relaxation.
The monastery's old church transforms in an enchanting venue where to
host meetings, seminars, and musical events. |
