"A hotel of great charme that maintains it's original medieval character while offering the tranquility and comfort of an exclusive luxury hotel with a friendly and elegant atmosphere."

"The Lap of Luxury geared to lovers of fine wine & food...about 10-15 minutes from all the major Barolo producers. While Pardini & Russell have meticulously maintained the country grandeur of the castle & gardens...their outgoing informality make for a refreshingly relaxed environment."
Kerin O'Keefe Decanter Magazine Feb 2007
