Relais Le Due Matote, Bossolasco, Italy

A romantic hilltop sanctuary in the heart of the Langhe 

A 16th-century residence in the hilltop village of Bossolasco, Relais Le Due Matote is an intimate retreat at the heart of the Langhe, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its rolling vineyards, medieval villages and celebrated wines. The ancient stone walls and timbered ceilings tell stories of the past, while the careful restoration has infused the property with understated elegance and contemporary warmth. Here, history and design coexist in perfect balance, creating an atmosphere both authentic and refined.

Each suite is unique, blending antique details with bespoke furnishings and natural materials. High ceilings, original floors and hand-picked objects add personality to spaces that are both spacious and serene, with windows that open onto views of vineyards, hazelnut groves and soft horizons. The feeling is that of a private home, yet elevated by the discreet comforts of a boutique hotel, where intimacy and individuality are the essence of luxury.

At the heart of the relais lies its focus on well-being. The spa invites relaxation with a heated indoor pool framed by stone walls and gentle light, alongside a hammam and sauna designed for unhurried rituals. In the warmer months, the outdoor infinity pool becomes the highlight, its water blending seamlessly with the rolling hills and vineyards of the Langhe.
