I use the Mystic Kingdoms of Wine term to refer to places that combine wine production facilities with first class hotel and restaurant. Although this is not strictly the case for Castello di Sinio, it is located in the center of the extraordinary Piemonte wine region, almost half way between the vineyards of Barolo and Barbaresco. The confortable accomodations in... More

Its taken me a while to review this hotel because I needed some time to decide if my impressions were excessively negative when so many rave about the place. Our room, a junior suite was excellent ( I cant recall which room it was though) it was directly opposite the clock tower on the church which was quite amusing. The... More

We spent two nights at Castello di Sinio. What a treat and a great way to end our vacation. The Piemonte area was amazing; I am now a bonafide italophile! Denise, the owner, was working away in the lobby area when we arrived and was always very helpful. Actually, all the staff were super helpful, and after travelling through several... More

We had four meals in two days -- one in the spectacular hotel dining room, and three in places we either... More

Denise the proprietress is a marvel. She has created the most comfortable castle - glorious grounds, and the best dining room in this section of Italy. Can't recommend this establishment enough! More

I expect Denise might see the world a little differently to others. Whilst many of us envision achieving perfection, perfection seems to be Denise's starting point and from here she moves forward. Quite a sublime experience. Food and wine of a standard rarely every found at such a boutique hotel. Don't miss breakfast. We did on one morning of our... More
