Relais San Maurizio

We stayed two nights and this awesome relais. A little bit far of everything but it’s absolutely stunning. Gorgeous gardens and beautiful decor inside. It has two restaurants, one with an outside area with beautiful scenery and the service of Simo was amazing! One restaurant is closed on Sundays so we could not go to that one. They also have a very cute bar which is open till midnight. I would definitely recommend this relais!

Beautiful location surrounded by the vineyards We experienced the hotel service somewhat disappointing. In case you want to relax and meditate this might be a good place. In case you like some lively action and atmosphere, this is not the right place to be as the hotel is quite isolated. Bar Hemmingway is a boring place to sit for a drink or snack Breakfast on the terrace was good with beautiful views. Concierge service shoild be more proactive , allthough they helped us with a good wine tasting experience in Barolo.

We unfortunately had to cancel our upcoming reservation so we have not actually visited the hotel. However I have interacted with various staff members (planning for my wife's birthday, spa reservations, restaurant bookings) and my first impression was great. They seem to have an extraordinarily professional and courteous team at the hotel. We will be sure to make new arrangements to visit asap.

Loved this beautiful place! Our 3 night stay here was truly wonderful. We stayed in the coziest room, #119. It was like stepping back in time, but yet completely modernized in all the important ways. The staff was excellent. Part of enjoying breakfast every morning was the friendly staff! Food was all delicious. It was also in a great location in the region. Highly recommend!

Stayed at the hotel on a short stay with my wife. The hotel was situated amongst the vineyards on one of the highest hills in a converted monastery with views that were simply amazing. The road to the hotel was both extremally windy and a joy to drive in daylight with the senary surrounding you. The hotel met all our requirements in terms of facilities, from the pools to spa and the accommodation which included outside space to have an evening drink whilst watching the sunset go down. Food in the restaurants was excellent and the breakfast was extensive and very relaxing in the surrounding senary. What made the hotel for us though was the staff who made the stay incredibly enjoyable and a big thankyou to the reception team for their advice and recommendations. Our recommendation is to have a car if staying at the hotel as you will need this to get around and visit the local sites and to get to the hotel.

4 days are not enough to enjoy all the benefits of the Relais San Maurizio, an old monastery (1619) now transformed into an elegant, peaceful and comfortable paradise in Santo Stefano Belbo, Italy. We loved the awesome park with very old trees, an organic vegetable garden and even an inspiring yoga spot, the relais invites you to slow down and enjoy your stay to the fullest. After a welcome drink Mr Federico accompanied us to our spacious and luxurious room. Through the open doors of a romantic Romeo-and-Julietta-like terrace we breathlessly admired the peaceful Alta Langhe vineyards of the relais. Mrs Monica of Front Office invited us to go and experience the Wellness area with a Salt Cave. What an mazing experience. If Relais San Maurizio is like Paradise, their spa is heaven on earth. Come and see for yourself. Also the outdoor pool area is very inviting for a lazy afternoon in the sun or to relax and refresh after a trip in the environment. Food is hors de categorie in the Relais. A delicious breakfast is served on the terrace of the Origini Bistrot, with a rich buffet in La Capella (decorated by David Tremlett -who also decorated the beautiful Capella del Barolo in La Morra-) and an à la carte menu. Fabio, Katharina, Alberto and everybody else was very professional yet warm and concerned. We were charmed by the morning newsletter on the table that revealed some of the secrets of the hotel or the staff, or gave you a recipe of a signature dish you could order for dinner. Dining at the terrace of Guido’s (da Costigliole) is a real privilege. Monica and Andrea, Walter, Camilla, and all others welcomed us very warmly. As aperitif a Gin Tonic ( with OM Yogin produced by Monica M.herself), then a delicious “Aqua dolce salata” menu, tasty wines, the beautiful skies when the sun is setting behind the hills, this was a perfect match. As a final desert Walter showed us he vaults of the monastery: the wine cellars with over 25000 bottles, of exceptional quality we felt and saw Andrea’s passion in the collection, in the dust on every bottle that was there. Thanks to everybody, you all went the extra mile to show us and all the other guests the true spirit of hospitality. Arrivederci!
