Located in the heart of the Piedmont vineyard region, a region famed for its wines, cheeses, and white truffles of Alba, the Relais San Maurizio is where time slows down and lets you immerse yourself in experiences that will soothe your senses and spirit. In 1619, Cistercian monks built the San Maurizio monastery on the ruins of a former chapel. The following centuries saw the property through several different lives, finally arriving at its current incarnation as a luxury spa hotel in 2002. It is a member of the prestigious Relais & Chateaux collection, the Leading Hotels of the world and it also houses the Michelin starred ‘Guido da Costigliole’ restaurant. The hotel’s frescoed halls, guestrooms and suites, the delightful gardens and the park with centuries-old trees are all truly charming. You can visit the spa’s salt cave, the wine hammam and soak up the vineyard vistas from the heated outdoor pool.
Location
