Il Biru

Past the central piazza of Barolo, one of Piedmont's most celebrated Docg wine villages, Il Biru occupies a detached ground-floor apartment on Via della Langa with direct views across the Langhe hillside vineyards.

The self-contained unit runs further than its category suggests: a full kitchen with oven, dishwasher, and washing machine sits alongside a dining table, sofa bed, and walk-in closet. Extra-long beds, soundproofed walls, and mountain views from the windows make it a practical base for extended stays during harvest season.

Barolo's enoteca comunale and the MuWine museum are both within a short walk. Free parking on-site removes the usual stress of arriving by car through the village's narrow lanes.
