Italy Hotel Review| Il Boscareto Resort & Spa

Piedmont Italy

There is a place in Northern Italy where rolling hills of lush green vineyards extend towards the horizon to meet a blue cloudless sky that rises to the heavens like the dome of a grand cathedral.

Looking out among the hilltops dotted with ancient villages of unhurried times, their medieval castle spires symbols of the regal powers that once reigned, it’s hard to believe that places like this still exist in the busied hurried world we live in.

It’s here in Piedmont, Italy, on a hilltop near one such town, that you’ll find Il Boscareto Resort & Spa; a place that blends the pastoral splendor of the Italian countryside with the modernaties of contemporary luxury.

Established in 2009 by Valentina Dogliani whose vision combined the lavish comforts of a luxury resort and spa with the magnificence of the Langhe countryside in Piedmont, Italy’s iconic wine region.

Location

Il Boscareto Resort and Spa is located next to Serralunga d’Alba in the Langhe region of Piedmont, Italy.  Easily accessible from Milan’s international airports, diving here takes roughly 1.5 to 2 hours of mostly highway driving with an exhilarating trip through the small hamlets of the Langhe countryside before your arrival.  It’s also a short drive away from Turin and Genoa for those who are in the area.  Be sure to make time for a local stop to sample local wine and some traditional cuisine.

Rooms – All of Il Boscareto’s 38 rooms are lavishly designed with detailed luxury that inspires visitors with large windows and patios to connect them with the natural beauty of the resorts surrounding vineyards.  Consideration to detail is seen everywhere from the silk walled textiles to the carefully orchestrated furniture that makes each room unique.

Breakfast – Nothing is more important to us then waking up to a hearty breakfast.  Every morning from 7:30 – 10:30 breakfast is served in Il Boscareto’s breakfast rotunda.  With organic juices (including blueberry!), yogurts, fresh croissants, bacon, eggs, local cheeses, fresh breads, fruits, vegetables, and morning deserts there is something for everyone.  For us, it was the view that made this breakfast location special, and of course the Italian coffee.

La Rei Restaurant

La Rei, named after one of the vineyard terraces that crisscross the hillsides around Il Boscareto, is a Michelin starred restaurant helmed by executive chef Pasquale Laera.  Hailing from Puglia and mentored by infamous Italian chef Antonio Cannavacciulo, Pasquale passionately works to inspire creative Italian dishes that arouse a visceral infusion of northern and southern Italian influence.

Sharing an aperitivo and a coffee Borderless Travels sat down to learn more about Pasquales inspiration.  Passionate about pushing culinary boundaries Pasquale gets inspiration from the natural beauty and splendor of the Piedmont region.  His influence from time spent at Michelin starred restaurants in Copenhagen and Japan also provoke his attention to detail, and with his team they create a tapestry of culinary pleasures well worth the visit.
