Dai Gresy - in Langa

Might be the best small boutique experience of all of my travels. The rooms, the facilities, the grounds all exceeded expectations and the pictures on the hotel site and provided by guest may actually "under represent" the grounds and structure. The staff, all of them, were so attentive and personable so as to make our stay feel as though we were staying with family. The location provided a 360 degree vista including views of the unending vineyards and small hilltop Langhe towns easily accessible by a short drive, or in our case, a 40km ebike ride (all arranged by the Dai Gresy staff, (bikes delivered and picked up at the hotel!). They have an extensive list of restaurants from which we chose and they made all reservations as requested prior to our arrival, including three in nearby Treiso (2km from hotel). Nice to be close as these are at the local/regional "slow food" pace which you will want to exploit! Breakfast overlooking vineyards as far as the eye can see looking North ( I think), in the shade, could not have been better in food quality and choice...and always delivered with a smile! Spending afternoon time around the pool with easy access to snacks and wine/cocktails is a must. No hurry, no worry. Also highly recommend taking the Marquis di Gresy winery tour, which the staff can arrange. Dai Gresy is owned and managed by the same family, wines known worldwide as a Langa region OG wine producer. Bucolic might be best term to describe Dai Gresy and the Langa region. Enthusiastically recommend spending time here and visiting a relatively undiscovered (by summer tourist) region of Italy, a region very much aligned with a bit of a relaxed itinerary. Grazie mille Jaquie, Julia, Martina, Ombretto, Paula (sorry for any misspelling and IF I missed anyone!) and the rest of the staff! It was our pleasure to stay at Dai Gresy and our honor to make your aquaintance during our four night stay....we did not want to leave!! Expect the Cheever family to return!
