The tower is in the middle of the beautiful village of Barolo. It gives you a welcoming and comfortable feel while experiencing Italian living. The unique asset of the tower is the stunning view over Barolo and its vineyard hills. Enjoying a glass of Barolo on the tower roof during sunset is amazing. If I wouldn't have been engaged already that is the place to do it.

Hi Megan, just had our final glass of wine on the roof terrace, nice to see the stars out as well. We have had a fantastic time here feel very refreshed and have sampled some very nice wines and some great food, just what we wanted. It really is a fantastic place.

TorreBarolo is a charming apartment in the tallest residential building in Barolo. It has an amazing rooftop patio with wonderful views. It was incredibly hot in Piedmont when we were there, so we didn't use the rooftop as much as we wanted, but in cooler weather we would have been out there all the time. As it is, the accommodations are very comfortable and incredibly convenient to all of the Piedmont. Going North to alba or asti or south to the alta Langhe was equally convenient. There are a bunch of nice restaurants in town if you don't want to drive for dinner, and the cafe at the top of Barolo was great for morning pastry and cappucino.Check-in and check-out were painless, as the owner has several competent caretakers who live in the area and who made things very easy. If you want to explore the Piedmont and don't want the typical hotel experience, TorreBarolo is a great option, and we highly recommend it.

A marvelous place for people, they want to relax and have a slow holiday. A wonderful roundview over the vinyards and Barolo. You feel like a castle owner without a castle, only a tower ;-)). The food, the people and last but not least the wine all are faboulos.
The tower was our basic camp for many trips around Barolo and also Turino. We recommend the tower to all people who like to enjoy something (food, wine, landscape).
Certain, we will come back.

A marvellous location - an extremly good service - an unbeatable view over the country from the terrace - excellent "basic camp" for excursion in Piemont - don't miss Torino and have a look at all these villages around - we'll come back!

We had a great week in the tower. We made very long walks in the Langhe through the vineyards and the little villages around Barolo. Excellent maps for walking trails in the region are for sale in the Barolo museum, 2 minutes walk from the tower. We found the local people very friendly and hospitable. The tower is very well furnished, has spectacular views and is centrally located. Highly recommended.

TorreBarolo is a unique accommodation in the center of a small wine town with several restaurants. The apartment kitchen and living area is small but augmented by a side terrace and rooftop terrace that would make it nicer in good weather. (Unfortunately because of the weather we were unable to enjoy the outdoor areas.) The views and rooftop terrace are great features. A downside is the many steps between the living area and bathroom/bedroom. I was impressed that we got an immediate response/solution when we had a problem with the heat (by emailing the owner n the computer with free internet that she provides).

I would be comfortable recommending the tower in Barolo to anyone. While being a really interesting old building, it is lovely and comfortable; an easy place to sit around and relax. The kitchen is well equipped and I took advantage of this. The views are spectacular, not only from the roof top but from the rest of the rooms as well, and the beds are very comfortable. On top of this, Megan, the owner, was incredibly helpful finding information for us about everything we were interested in and Simona, the caretaker, bent over backwards to be sure we had what we needed once we arrived. It exceeded my expectations in every way.

Ho soggiornato a Barolo per una settimana di relax e tranquillità. L'esperimento è molto ben riuscito, anzi, il posto è incantevole, non mi aspettavo questi incantevoli panorama e la casa, cosi ben curata nei minimi dettagli, è un luogo perfetto per una vacanza. Il cibo è ottimo, come anche il vino, lo raccomando a tutti gli intenditori del settore! Tornerò sicuramente a rifarmi gli occhi e la bocca!

We loved staying at Torre Barolo. The accommodations are chic hotel quality, but with privacy of a small villa. The beds are super comfortable. The views from the roof terrace are even more breath taking with a glass of Barolo wine. The area has lots to offer including amazing Italian food and wine and lots of food shopping (including very yummy truffles). I highly recommend this cosy Italian getaway. I certainly am looking forward to going back for another truffles season.

Excellent accommodations! The tower is centrally located, not just for local dining in the town of Barolo but for touring the entire region. I emailed with the owner prior to my visit, and received great dining and wine tasting recommendations. The tower itself is lovely. The beds are extremely comfortable, the living space is stylish, and the roof deck is perfect for enjoying a glass of wine while taking in the view of the gorgeous vineyards as far as the eye can see. I was pleasantly surprised, and would highly recommend TorreBarolo.

Great property - stylish and very comfortable. I've stayed here a few times and keep coming back. The views are fantastic from every room and the roof terrace is the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine after a long day exploring the area (views are even better in person!). The property is well equiped and feels very luxurious. It's very good value for the area and there's lots to do within a short distance... great restaurants, wine tasting, hiking, golfing and shopping in Alba.
