There are also two excellent Italian addresses among the 22 new gourmet restaurants and charming dwellings joined these days to be part of the family Relais & Châteaux. Two charming hotels, perfect for a romantic getaway, maybe to book for Valentine's Day.
The first is the Castello di Guarene, a few kilometers from Alba, which enriches the Italian collection of Relais & Chateaux residences with its evocative 18th century architecture and the wonderful Italian garden overlooking the Langhe, recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Place of undeniable charm and historical appeal, is a fundamental stage of the itinerary of the Piedmontese Baroque. The Castle Spa, with a natural pool carved into the rock, is an integral part of the beauty of the place while the ancient gastronomic wisdom of Roero and Langhe relives in the restaurant paper that stands out for the rigorous selection of raw materials, local and self-produced, and for the creativity of culinary proposals.
The other Italian new entry of the Relais & Châteaux family is The summit of Ostuni, exclusive oasis of peace devoted to the Art of hospitality. Built in a historic residence of the sixteenth century, it fits harmoniously in the historic center of the city and represents a privileged place of relaxation and discovery of the traditions of the evocative "White City".
In his restaurant Cielo, which boasts 1 Michelin star, Chef Andrea Cannalire conquer guests with a refined and reinvented Apulian cuisine: an experience of taste to live under the stone vaults of the restaurant or in the open air, among the olive trees and orange trees of the Spanish garden.
