Locanda Dell'orso Bevitore

Stayed with my family for a week, and this was all we hoped for. We enjoyed the authentic athmosphere, quality of breakfast and the tour of the winery. Verduno is a small town full of good restaurants and not far away from Bra, Alba and Asti. Christina and the team are wonderfull and helpfull hosts beyond what you normally would expect. Thank you.

For those who may be unfamiliar the farmhouse is owned/operated by the historic G.B. Burlotto winery, which is one of the most well respected Barolo wine producers in history, and makes some of the greatest Barolo wines you can find. Cristina is in charge of the farmhouse, and was able to accommodate us for an early check in 1 hour before normal check in hours at no extra charge. The farmhouse is located in a great location. It’s just down the street from their winery itself G.B. Burlotto (about a 3 minute walk). Across the street is an amazing, and affordable restaurant (il Falstaff). Across the street is also “Az. Agricola L'Orto Delle Erbe” which sells homemade (by the shop owner) jams, spices, infused salts, hazelnuts, etc including Barolo infused salt and Nebbiolo jam this is a MUST visit. Just be sure to call/email ahead of time and let them know you’re coming as they don’t have regular hours. All of this is about a 10 minute or so drive away from the town of “La Morra” which has plenty to do. Walking through the streets, and stopping in the various boutiques is a gastronomic experience, and the view near the Belvedere clocktower is breathtaking. Now more about the accommodations themself. This was actually our first time staying in a farmhouse (we have only stayed in formal hotels in the past), and our stay was absolutely PERFECT! The room which was one of the apartment rooms was quite large. It has a balcony with chairs, air conditioning, well equipped kitchen, 2 TV’s, couch, complimentary wi-fi, Burlotto wines by the bottle, swimming pool, and bathroom stocked with very nice Italian soaps. The room appeared to be all original dating back to when the building was constructed dozens (perhaps hundreds?) of years ago, was in pristine condition, and was BEAUTIFUL. The stay included breakfast which was one of the highlights. Breakfast was a quite extravagant spread of cheese, some dry sausages, fresh baked bread, cakes/tarts, and of course espresso. By the way the cheese is AMAZING! Look no further! This is the place to stay while visiting Langhe! Everyone was so friendly, accommodating, and made our stay their PERFECT! We are already planning our return! Thank you Cristina! Grazie mille!

“Amazing place to stay and some of the very best Barolo wines...”

Due to the Collisioni Festival in Barolo it was almost impossible to find a hotel (with a swimming pool) close to Barolo the days we wanted to go there.

Due to the Collisioni Festival in Barolo it was almost impossible to find a hotel (with a swimming pool) close to Barolo the days we wanted to go there. When we finally did, it was a B&B run by Christina Burlotto. We were received very friendly by Christina, who also showed us around. As they were also offering wines and the wines (obviously ;-) should have the right temperature, all rooms had a small box in the (wine) cellar - see picture. Great and at the same time funny idea. The room (with balcony) was spacious and clean. We also enjoyed the swimming pool several times. The breakfast is just great. Especially we loved the many cheeses and the selection of fruit. Focused and lovely service at breakfast. What we didn't know when choosing this hotel, was the fact that it was run by an excellent wine producer, "Comm. G.B. Burlotto". During our stay, we had the pleasure enjoying two wines of Burlotto's Barolo wines (2012 from Cannubi - at the Falstaff restaurant next door - and a 2013 from Acclevi at the Locanda dell'Orso Bevitore). Both wines are absolutely magnificent, but according to Christina they are totally sold out :-( 😭 I will try to be ready for the next release of these wines. Next time we will be in the area, we will chose this B&B rather than anywhere else.

“Friendly and relaxed “hotel””

We had stayed four nights at Locanda dell’Orso Bevitore. It is situated in Verduno, Piemonte. Unfortunately it is next to a busy street and has no view at all. Rooms are nice.

We had stayed four nights at Locanda dell’Orso Bevitore. It is situated in Verduno, Piemonte. Unfortunately it is next to a busy street and has no view at all. Rooms are nice. We had a double room with no kitchen. Every morning is served a nice plain breakfast - others has described it as superb. That I cannot agree on. There is a nice selection of fruit, juice, yoghurt and cheese. Some bread and cakes. In the basement is a small selection of wine, soda and beer available for each room. The wines are locally produced by the owners of this nice “Hotel”.
