"Helpful, attentive, and professional staff. Nice atmosphere. Excellent parking. Nice and clean rooms. Abundant and generous breakfast. Excellent. The extremely unfair and disappointing policy is the request for an extra €25 at check-in (and not specified during the booking process) for the second person's stay, even though I specifically booked (on ***********) a DOUBLE ROOM FOR TWO ADULTS!!!"

"Magic position just in the beginning of the historical area (walking only area) , freshly renovated, rooms are a bit small but the service from front desk , breakfast area and housekeeping is FIRST CLASS, very king , gentle and super efficient"

"We went by car. The garage is very large. The staff are very helpful and friendly. There are many variants at breakfast."

"We came at about 13:00 h to the hotel. We wanted to see our room. But the young woman was refusing to let us see the room. She said that she is just now having lunch. She wanted us to come back at the correct check in time. But the way to the hotel at in middle of the vineyard area is far away from town. We eventually went to another hotel. They deducted the full amount for the four days we made the reservation. I think that is not acceptable."

"Located near the outskirts of Alba, about a 30-minute walk from downtown Alba, it's very quiet. The one-bedroom apartment is sufficient, but the Wi-Fi isn't very fast."

"The place was beautiful, the service was not there. The metatarsal was short and uncomfortable. The seats in the room were cramped. A very hot room."

"Wonderful, quiet and restful small inn atop a hill and surrounded by vineyards from which they produce their own excellent wine. Friendly, welcoming and helpful staff. Comfortable room with excellent amenities. I recommend the wine tour that includes a stop in the vineyard, a visit to the production area and cellar, and a very informative presentation of the wines and region while tasting and good variety. Breakfast is pre-ordered the evening before with a wide variety of options. Althought there is no restuarant on site, several excellent relaxing places with regional cuisine are a few minutes away. Note that this place is most suitable if you are driving and may be a challenge otherwise. Its is a place I hope definitely to return to."

"We stumbled upon this wonderful inn by chance, after booking a nearby property (I won't name any names) that was terribly clean and had extremely rude and even aggressive staff. However, we were truly fortunate: La Locanda del Pilone is an oasis of peace and beauty, and we had a wonderful time. The property is an old house nestled in the vineyards, tastefully furnished with local antiques, immaculately clean, and beautifully scented. My sincere compliments to the Boroli family and to all, and I mean all, the staff: the reception staff, the housekeeper and cleaning staff, the dining room staff (measures and sommelier), and the fantastic team led by Michelin-starred Chef Federico Gallo, who was not only competent but also very friendly and kind. Our room was beautiful, spacious, with a large, new bathroom and spotlessly clean, featuring period furnishings that I personally love. The amenities also included wonderful Parma water, such as shower gels and toiletries. The towels, bathrobes, curtains, carpets, and drapes were all top-quality and so clean they looked like they came straight from the factory. It's a true 4-star hotel. We used the bistro and not the Michelin-starred one because we didn't want to bother other guests, as we have a one-year-old (a terrible age), but the staff was incredibly kind: they heated up his food for us and provided a high chair. The pool was beautiful and new. I recommend a tour of the cellar, with Arianna, a super knowledgeable winemaker, and her wines are sublime. The value for money is fair; you pay for quality, and that's fair enough, otherwise it wouldn't be quality. You made us feel at home; the facility and the staff were top-notch. We'll be back!!! Thank you for everything."

"We stayed in the 120 m² penthouse apartment, which was modern and tastefully furnished. It had two bedrooms and a spacious, fully equipped kitchen (with a Nespresso machine and capsules!). There's a terrace that wraps around the entire apartment with plenty of seating and some lovely views. The apartment is high enough that it's not too noisy during the day. Parking is available nearby. The owner was friendly, and check-in via mobile phone was hassle-free. We would definitely stay here again."
