Fodor's Expert Review Relais San Maurizio

The first luxury hotel in Piedmont, opened in 2002 inside a 17th-century monastery, is still one of the most extravagant places to stay in Piedmont, with a 10,764-square-foot spa, an outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts, and a Michelin-star restaurant. Guest rooms feature vaulted ceilings, and some boast fireplaces and terraces. The fabulous spa includes salt pools, a salt cave, and a hammam, plus there’s a heated outdoor pool and a gym in a separate building. They also offer wine therapy, with a bath and sauna inside repurposed Barolo wine barrels. The Michelin-starred restaurant Guido da Costigliole occupies the former cellars in the basement, while the more casual Origini Bistrot offers dishes with ingredients grown in their own gardens.
