In a charming oasis, a few km from Alba, the Relais Montemarino was born from the careful and scrupulous recovery of an ancient nineteenth-century farmhouse.

The 27 rooms, furnished in perfect harmony with the best traditions of the Albese Langa, offer a dive into the past, full of all the comforts of the present. The pride of the Relais is the covered and heated swimming pool, located in a space where the view lights up in front of the landscapes of the Piedmontese hills of Alba. The covered structure, made up of large windows, allows you to use the swimming pool throughout the year and the solarium area to enjoy the warm Langhe sun.
