We’ve heard through the grapevine that Dai Grésy is rural Piedmont’s place to be. Light-swathed rooms with vineyard views, a soothing spa and ambient alfresco pool are all part of the cosseting package, but this retreat’s grand cru is its terroir. The hotel’s owners have been harvesting from the surrounding countryside for centuries, so you can trust that in-house tastings and truffle-hunting tours around the region’s rolling valleys are held by top talent. We’ll raise a glass to that.

Our favourite rooms

For a spacious stay, with mountain and vineyard views, it's best to go for Room N. 10. If you’re looking to stay a while, the Vineyard and Family Suites are both tricked out with fully equipped kitchens and living spaces.

Poolside

Bordered by an ethereal lace of vines, blooming flowers and plants, the outdoor saltwater pool is Dai Grésy’s striking centerpiece. The infinity edge watches calmly over the vineyards, and surrounding sunloungers are poised for days of sun-dosed de-stressing.

Top Table

Take your glasses out to the terrace and back your Barbaresco with mesmerising sunset hues.

Dress Code

Breezy white linens to allow the hotel’s speaks-for-itself natural scenery to do its thing.

Hotel restaurant

There’s no restaurant as such at Dai Grésy, but the farmhouse’s light-bathed living room has been set-up with a selection of tables, where seasonal breakfasts, as well as light lunches and dinners are served. Options aren’t extensive, but each refined plate on the evening’s à la carte menu is prepared with deft skill, crafting Piedmont’s local produce and seasonal veg into flavour-packed plates that nod to the region’s culinary heritage. Naturally, there are daily wine tastings under the honey-hued arches of the converted cellar, where sampling the local terroir is best enjoyed with a slice of toma or two.

Hotel bar

If you’ve had your time in the tasting room and are seeking a change in flavour, there’s a picture-pretty bar hidden between the garden’s vines and centred around a cosseting fireplace. Wines are still on offer here, but you’re also welcome to stray from the norm and sample a selection of craft cocktails, packed with a punch and finished with a trad Piedmontese spin.

Breakfast is between 8am and 10.30am; lunch is 1pm to 3pm, and dinner is from 7.30pm till 9.30pm. Both lunch and dinner require reservations. The bar pours till midnight.

Location

Address
Dai Grésy
Via Giacosa 19
Treiso
12050
Italy

Dai Grésy rests along a plain of rolling vineyards between southern Piedmont’s small towns of Barbaresco and Treiso in north-west Italy.

Planes

Turin’s Caselle Airport is your closest international option and is around a 90-minute drive from the hotel. You can also fly into Milan, which is a slightly further two-hour drive. Private transfers can be arranged for an additional charge.

Trains

There’s a small train station in Alba — around 10 minutes away by car — that has direct routes to larger cities like Turin, Asti, Savona, Milan and Genoa. Staff can arrange for station transfers, starting from €40 each way.

Automobiles

Dai Grésy’s remote location means a car could come in handy if you’re hoping to explore more of your surroundings; there’s free parking at the hotel, including three electric-vehicle charging points.

Worth getting out of bed for

Despite a seemingly remote locale, and away-from-it-all ambience, there’s plenty of activities within easy reach of Dai Grésy. The bustling city centre of Turin is an hour’s train journey away and makes for an energetic antidote to the hotel’s quieter surroundings. And if you’re in the market for some new designer threads, Milan is a further hour and a half from Piedmont’s capital.

The quaint towns of Treiso, Barbaresco, Alba and Neive are all between five and 15 minutes away by car, and the surrounding Langhe hills are etched with hiking, biking and horseback riding trails. Between September and December, you can trace the region’s prized white truffle with a tour; or (all year round) spend your days swirling and sampling at one of the region’s many wineries — Dai Grésy’s owners run Martinenga, Mount Aribaldo, La Serra and Mount Colombo, so they’d be our first picks.

Local restaurants

Set high in the Barbaresco hills, overlooking the surrounding countryside, award-winning Ciau del Tornavento has a flair for local flavours. Meats and fish from nearby suppliers are spun into tasteful Piedmontese plates, and served with bottles from the restaurant’s 5,400-label wine cellar. Equally delectable dishes are cooked up at Osteria Taste — a restaurant which is cooks up dishes rooted in regional traditions. Family-run Trattoria Antica Torre offers a welcome that warms the cockles and we've heard their tajarìn is a must try.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this refined retreat by Treiso and unpacked their bottles of Barbaresco and Dolcetto, a full account of their soothing stay will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Dai Grésy in Piedmont…

There’s Barbaresco in the blood of the di Grésy family, who have been helming vineyards on Mount Aribaldo since the 1650s. After centuries of cultivating, their most recent descendants discovered an abandoned farmhouse high on a hill in Langhe. And in 2016, they set to work renovating its crumbling façade into the five-star stay that stands today, naming it after their relatives: Dai Grésy. 

Everything at this boutique retreat flows with the seasons: light dishes are based on Piedmont’s harvest calendar and wine pairings rotate between full-bodied reds, to sweet sparkling and floral whites. Calming interiors in the 11 rarefied rooms are as much an earthy ode to your locale as the tasting room’s stellar labels, and the valley-watching alfresco pool means leaving your bed doesn’t have to mean parting with those arcadian aspects. There’s a world of pastoral thrills on your pretty Piedmont doorstep, too, and an equally enticing spa with treatments set to have you ageing as fine as a provincial wine.
