Il Boscareto Resort & SPA

A resort among the vineyards of Serralunga

Il Boscareto is on the Roddino road, in the hills of Serralunga d'Alba, the village of the castle and the Fontanafredda wineries. It is the luxury accommodation in this selection: 49 rooms and suites, all with panoramic views, a large spa, two restaurants and even a helipad. It is for a special getaway or for those who want the hotel to be part of the trip.

It closes in winter. The website announces that it receives guests again from 27 March, so in late truffle season and in the cold months you will have to look for another option.

The rooms

There are six categories. The Classic rooms are the most intimate, with warm fabrics and natural colours; the Deluxe have large windows towards the vineyards and the hills. The Junior Suites gain space and light, and the Junior Suites with terrace look onto the nebbiolo hills and, on clear days, Monte Rosa and Rocciamelone. Above are the Suites, with large glass walls, and the Suite Terrazzo, with a panoramic terrace. All have an entertainment system, the resort's own fibre optic and room service, and give access to the spa.

The website does not publish prices or check-in and check-out times; rooms are booked on its booking engine or by phone.

Spa and restaurants

La Sovrana SPA has a Sala delle Acque with a stone and mosaic pool at 28 °C and glass walls that open to the outdoors, and a hot tub at 33 °C. On the ground floor there is a Finnish sauna with a window onto the landscape, an aromatic Turkish bath, sensation showers, frigidarium, treatment rooms, a relaxation room with fireplace and a Technogym gym. The pool room opens from 8:00 to 20:00 and the wellness circuit from 10:00 to 20:00. The circuit is for adults and over-14s accompanied; children under 14 may use only the pool, from 8:00 to 14:00 and with an adult.

There are two tables. La Rei Natura, the fine-dining restaurant of chef Michelangelo Mammoliti, which the website's home page presents with three MICHELIN stars; and Il Sunsì, a bistro run by chef Alessandro Capalbo, for a simpler dinner without leaving the resort.

Getting there

Serralunga is about 20 minutes by car from Alba and a little over an hour from Turin. The resort has covered parking for 62 cars with three electric charging stations.
