Le Case della Saracca

I can’t say enough great things about this place. My boyfriend and I came for dinner and what we left with was a culinary and architectural experience we won’t be sure to forget. The service and knowledge of the wine and food was great and we were welcomed at every stage. We even got a chance to explore their wine caves which were unforgettable. We will for sure come back and would highly suggest this place if it’s for a casual drink or a dinner or anything in between. The place itself it’s so well developed and is like walking into something you’d see in a magazine. Bravo to the staff and thank you again for this experience!

I had only just started my dinner and already knew this place was special: had the rabbit paté, which went beautifully with the jam and Marsala. The finanziera was also a surprising delight - unexpected and delicious and creamy. The star, however, certainly was the ribeye on the bone of local veal, which had been perfectly cooked. To boot, service was great and helpful and always there when needed. Would recommend without hesitation!

Excellent restaurant led by Giulio, a local well known wine specialist. A good place to try the wines of this region accompanied by suitable dishes. The wine cellar is a separate miracle! Thanks for the advice with wineries and Barolo Chinato.

Food and service were amazing, great wine recommendations and good prices.

This place was a unique experience! We had a room for 2 days. I felt like being at an old museum, while walking to the top floor room. The super nice owner let us choose between 2 rooms, both unique in its own style. The room was big, nice and clean, with a great bed. Amazing breakfast and the staff made us feel very welcome. We also got great reccomendations of the area.

We ate dinner 2 days, which both was the best dinners we had so far in Italy. Wine list was amazing, and fairly priced. We also highly reccomend to ask for a tour in the wine cellar.

I can not recommend this place more. A true value of money for rooms and for the restaurant. Super helpful and friendly staff. They give good recommendations, that you'd better cosider. The food in the restaurant is amazing, remember to book in advance! One night we ate in another restaurant, we paid Eur118 and we did not enjoy the food at all. We came back to Saracca same night to eat and they were so kind to let us order although it was late and they were fully booked. I believe the place is unique and the service is beyond a guesthouse.

Recommended by a epicurean local and our guide book, we had supper in this amazing restaurant. The architectural details are quite unique. The wine list is enormous - options by the glass is also available if you need to drive. The food very tasty. The price fair. The only thing that could have improved our experience is the service. It was cold and rushed.

The food is incredible and situated in a completely gutted and renovated medieval building in Monforte d’Alba. This was clearly a favorite with international/tourist clientele but don’t let that dissuade you. The food was amazing. I highly suggested the roasted pork roast that was flavorful and hearty! For those traveling here by car however, note that parking is super difficult because it’s in the heart of the medieval town and within a ZTL. Since it was late at night we probably parked in a not so legal spot, but the restauranteur said they were building parking (we saw the construction site) that is about a 5 minute walk from the restaurant. Folks that have a hard time walking might have an issue getting to the spot. But everyone else should put this in the list. We asked our server for an opinion of a certain wine she said “One moment, I will ask”. When she came back, she said “Papá said this one is the best”. Papa, her dad! So charming. It was our favorite restaurant in all of the Langhe area. Because it’s a small mom and pop shop, they don’t do a lot of advertising and it was a suggestion of our hotel concierge and thank goodness they did. We never would’ve come across it otherwise. If you found this review helpful please “like” and or follow me!

Lovely place to visit! James Bond like wine cellar with secret doors and amazing architecture and wines. Lovely family owned business with lots of love for products and experiences. One of the best places I have visited thus far in the Piëmont region. Will definitely return to this amaze spot.

Unique rooms and athmosphere. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Would really recommend to eat there as well if you stay there as the food is delicious…. and a wine cellar to die for!

Such an incredible hotel. Our first time in the area. Full of history in a very charming architectural exclusive hotel with (6 gorgeous rooms) We had such a wonderful time. The owner Giulio is a kind, fun loving and very generous person. The wonderful staff are exceptional…great service and they look for our comfort and every need and made us feel ‘’a la casa” actually this is all what you expect as tourists … very good food, top wine, panne cotte to die for, top Grappa and happy relaxed people … we will visit you again Giulio .. we miss your great meat platter, good food and wine from PR Corsini! 🥰 A la prossima 😘 Baci from Switzerland Linda, Esther, René, Patrick

This place has an amazing atmosphere, and a really cool look. Each floor within the restaurant seats 1-2 tables, then the stairs case continues to the next floors, and feels like your in a cave. The secondi piatti was a bit underwhelming, but all the other courses were excellent as was their selection. Highly recommend

Absolutely phenomenal place! This is a wine bar, wine shop, and restaurant all in one! Gorgeous setting, wonderful staff, and high energy. We stopped by all three nights we were in town, and we will definitely be back! Try the tajarin and venison carpaccio for sure!

The place was astonishing. The restaurant build around the typical historic local tower-houses. The food was amazing with great local plates and recipes. The wine lists is pretty huge and can easily accommodate any taste. Highly recommended.

You HAVE to stay here, cannot stress this enough. The place is amazing. The hotel is carved into the side of a mountain. The owner Giulio is the best. They accommodated a group of 10 of us and a dog for 2 nights. We had dinner reservations at the restaurant the first night and it was some of the best Italian food I've had in all of Italy! I'm kind of upset that we didn't eat there both nights. They have an apertivo in the evenings and if you're really nice to the owner he'll show you his incredible wine cellar. The steps walking into the side of the hotel are a bit rough so I would not recommend stiletto heels. The atmosphere throughout the hotel is one of a kind. We are definitely coming back and introducing all of our friends to this amazing experience.

One of the best wine bars I've been to. Fantastic selection of wines and antipasto at the bar, while there are cozy rooms for dining. My beef cheek was so tender and the server made an excellent recommendation for a matching wine. So good we went two nights in a row.

Unique hotel carved in the stone wall, in the heart of Monforte d'Alba. It is a combination of modern and old by mixing some of the old elements from the initial builidng such as wood doors, wood window frames, stone walls, with modern tuch as steel and glass.
The restaurant serves extraordinary delicious piemontese food and the owner, Giulio is a great host, always friendly, helpful with information about the wineries to visit and wines to taste.
We returned to this hotel since 7 years. It has been always a nice treat.

Le Case della Saracca is amazing. My boyfriend and I stayed here for three nights. It is a beautiful spot, the rooms are so unique. The owner is very kind, as is the whole staff. It is also a great place to explore Piedmont from. The town itself is quiet but beautiful.

We also had dinner at the restaurant twice! Everything was delicious. We can’t wait to come back.

We stayed at Le Case della Saracca for 3 nights in July 2022. We got a warm welcome by owner Giulio and just by stepping in the front door, it was easy to see that this was a unique hotel! We got to see the wine cellar that has an impressive selection of Barolo and Barbera wines and were taken to our room “La camera di Camiot”. Going to the rooms is like going through a maze as different parts of these ancient houses, walls and bell towers are connected with glass bridges and staircases. Note that there is no lift here so make sure you can carry your own suitcase. The room was actually on two floors with lower floor containing the bed room and a small balcony. Upstairs was bigger and contains a table and chairs, a fireplace, a balcony with an amazing view and a bathroom with a shower. Both floors had exits by the way. The floors seem to be laid down with old tiles, there were brick walls and ancient doors – combined with new and modern ceiling windows that allowed more light into the room. In the morning we had breakfast in the vaulted rooms on the ground floor and there is also a restaurant here where you can get aperitivio, salumi and dinner at night and you can sit inside or on small tables outside. The restaurant also contains one of the most fascinating bathrooms I have ever seen! What a gem this hotel is! Most hotel rooms are basically the same, but this was truly a unique hotel with a history, character and with fabulous customer service. The wifi was not great but I guess you can blame that on the thick stone walls. Thanks for having us Le Case della Saracca – I would love to return to this hotel and this area!

Amazing and unique hotel, bar and restaurant , friendly staff amazing food and great spot ! Not to mention the awesome wine cellar, its a must see spot if your in the area.
