The Agriturismo Marcarini is a family owned vineyard hotel which is managed by a brilliant couple, Chiara and Antonello. ||As soon as you drive into the courtyard you are met by Chiara and Antonello who offer you warm and friendly welcome.||The rooms are large, very clean and very well equipped with everything to make your stay a comfortable and pleasant one. The toiletries are quality and I’m told the hair dryer was very powerful. The bed was massive and extremely comfortable. There is a mini bar in the room which contained water, soft drinks and three bottles of the Marcarini wine (all at an additional cost) ||There is a dedicated area to relax with sun beds, towels, and a large and powerful Jacuzzi. ||We decided to eat at the hotel and what an experience that turned out to be. Chiara is the chef and she will only use sustainable and locally sourced organic produce. Her cooking skills are of the highest level and the four courses she presented us with were beyond sublime. There isn’t a menu because she will cook using the current and available ingredients of the day, which makes the meals there even more special. Of course you can try a variety of wines with your meal or simply but a bottle (or two). The breakfast was as special as the evening meal, again with locally sourced and fresh produce. ||Unfortunately we only stayed at the Agriturismo Marcarini for just one night, but we fully intend to visit again and stay for longer. ||In short, the perfect place to visit for a relaxing and comfortable stay with the addition of a unique and high quality...
Read moreWhat did I like? EVERYTHING! This will sound like a weird way to begin a review, but l've been to Piemonte a lot and usually stay at a different place, which I still love. It was full this trip (truffle season!), and I luckily stumbled on to the Marcarini Agriturismo. I say luckily because it was exceptional at every single level. The facility itself is newly updated with really comfortable and large rooms with highly tuned attention to comfort-details. The breakfasts were almost over-the-top special - freshly made cakes, pastries, juices and the regular stuff, but also really great local yogurts, their own hand-made jams (five different ones), individually cooked eggs ... etc. We also had a first-night dinner that was amazingly prepared by Chiara, the owner and a trained chef. With Antonello, her husband, shaving local white truffles on our pasta as he regaled us with stories from his truffle-hunting experiences. The highlight of highlights was definitley Antonello and Chiara themselves, two highly knowledgeable and highly service-oriented hosts who helped us in so many ways — local hikes to burn off the pasta, setting up a wine tasting, making restaurant recommendations in this busy season, offering to hook us up on a trufffle hunt. I loved this place - and them. Does it sound like I liked the place! I would recommend...
Read moreI recently had the pleasure of staying at your wonderful establishment, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. Your accommodation, run by a delightful young couple, made me feel incredibly welcome and comfortable from the moment I arrived.
The hosts went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was perfect. They were exceptionally helpful with reservations and provided excellent recommendations for local attractions. Their dedication to making guests feel at home is truly commendable.
One of the highlights of my stay was the breakfast, which featured exclusively fresh, regional products and daily changing sweet treats. It was a delightful way to start each day. Additionally, the rooms in the beautifully renovated antique property were both charming and comfortable.
