A few kilometers from Alba, the Corte Gondina Boutique Hotel is a small boutique hotel with 14 personalized rooms, swimming pool, garden, and personal spa. Elegant and comfortable, it is situated in the center of La Morra, a small village in the heart of the Langhe, a region famous in all over the world for Barolo wine and gastronomy. In a delightfully private habitat, Elena and Bruno, the owners, have skilfully combined past and present to create a unique experience.
The hotel follows a hospitality philosophy different from the ordinary because it wants to be, for its guests, an out-and-out “home far away from home”. Crossed the gateway of the entrance of Via Roma, the slow and cocoon-like rhythms of the “home” will envelop you, making your holiday in Langa unique and unforgettable.
The swimming pool is located where years ago one found the vegetable garden of aunt Radegonda. It's a small haven of rest in the center of the village where you can revitalize yourself and relax from dawn until dusk. The swimming pool is opened from May to October, exclusively for the hotel guests.
