Relais Castello di Razzano

Forty-eight hectares of Monferrato vineyard surround Relais Castello di Razzano in Alfiano Natta, a medieval hilltop village roughly 65 kilometres southeast of Turin in the heart of Piedmont's Barbera d'Asti wine country — a natural base for wine-touring couples and families arriving by car.

The estate restaurant draws on Piedmontese produce and the castle's own vines; an outdoor pool overlooks the vine rows below. Free parking and solid road access to both Asti and Acqui Terme, each under thirty minutes, suit guests preferring to self-drive between local cellars.

Check-in opens at 14:30; family rooms and facilities for disabled guests are available throughout, with tea and coffee makers in every room.
