It was a surprisingly exquisite and charming experience. Locanda is on top of the vineyards of Barolo region. We wake up and can look upon the vineyards mixed with the mornings misty. It has a one michelin star restaurant, where you can experiment great italian food and the white truffles during this time of the year. It was really a... More

With 13 friends we were at dinner 09.11.2011. We had reservations, but unfortunately we sat down to two different tables. Food quality was very precarious. I had a seven-course menu. Amuse Buche was below average. The fish was terrible, as if from a bad school cafeteria. Contrast eggs with truffles were great. Other dishes were good. However, the service was... More

The Locanda was excellent in every way, exactly what we were looking for in a stay near Alba. Beautiful location amidst the rolling hills of vineyards, view of the snow covered Alps in the distance. Room was lovely, very comfortable, amazing view from our large window, excellent wifi access as well. The restaurant was terrific, the best meal we had... More

We stayed 2 nights at Locanda del Pilone. It is absolutely the most charming and beautiful inn. Room was spacious with a marvelous views of vineyards and other hill towns. Definitely eat at the restaurant. It was the best meal in ALL of Italy. Everything was good from the food, presentation, service and wines- try their local wines. Can't wait... More

A very good charming hotel with few rooms tasteful decorated. Excellent restaurant, service and cellar. Let the somelier guide you through the extensive wine list but dont miss the local ones. Remarkably located on the top of a windy hill surrounded by nice vineyards which make the site even more attractive. We were told about two suites outside the main... More

Just spent a delightful evening/night at La Locanda del Pilone. It's a truly special place in the most wonderful location set on a hill top amongst the vineyards with rolling country all around and the snow-peaked Alps as a backdrop. On top of this the hotel, rooms, staff and food combine to make it a memorable experience. We chose the... More

We stayed here for 2 nights in November during truffle season. We really liked the local charm of the hotel & would be happy to stay here again. It's in a great location for visiting the Alba truffle fair & regional wineries. The hotel has a nice Piemontese feel, situated in an older building that feels like a large house,... More

I leave in Russia. For work & tourism I visit many hotels but no-one so Charming. Too less for just one star michelin. The Dinner was simply Incredible. Very Tasting Dishes.. Excellent Service. Great Wines. Our Room was the best we've ever had. With a big balcony overlooking the wineyards. And the Location, just few km (less than 4 minutes)... More

I stayed here for 2 days last September with my wife. This was one of the highlights or our trip to France and Italy. The staff was excellent and very very friendly. The restaruant was awesome and they stayed open for us one night since we stayed there. Our room was very nice and cozy. It was hard to find... More
