I am a repeat customer for Villa San Lorenzo, having experienced the magic of this place on a few other occasions over the years. The house itself is at once luxurious and rustic, with comfortable beds, beautiful bathrooms, a real "gourmet" kitchen, and of course the amazing pool area overlooking a stunning valley in the hills above Barolo.
Our hosts, Clay and Erica, couldn't have been more helpful whether it is restaurant recommendations, wineries to visit, cooking classes, truffle hunting (in season), etc. And while there may be less expensive houses in the area, this house is totally worth it as it comes with a real "curated" and "insider" experience that makes it all extra memorable.
We enjoyed cooking in a couple days, as nearby Dogliani has great stores for everything from pasta, meat, veggies, bread, etc, plus a farmer's market too. And of course, the Langhe has become a treasure trove of top restaurants, from delicious, casual Trattorias to refined and elevated white tablecloth types of places.
Can't wait for my next stay at Villa San Lorenzo! And... spoiler alert. Can't wait to taste Clay and Erica's own Nebbiolo wine from the vineyard on the property (released soon!).
