Relais Villa d'Amelia occupies a late-19th-century country house near Alba, set among hazelnut groves and vineyards with the Alps on the horizon. Rooms combine exposed beams, stone and polished contemporary furniture, with many looking into the courtyard or across the Piedmont hills. A heated outdoor pool, sauna and Turkish bath support slower days at the property, while DaMà restaurant gives regional dishes a more refined expression. Barolo villages, wineries and Alba’s truffle culture are close by. The compact estate is framed by cultivated slopes, mature trees and the red-tiled roof of the original house.
