One could not find a more beautiful,authentic and comfortable place to stay! The rooms are gorgeous. The food is truly inventive and perfectly prepared. And our hostess, the very gracious Denise was like having an old friend you go to stay with. We are talking about having our wedding there we loved it so much. Thank you for one of... more

Our stay at Hotel Castello di Sinio was perfect! The castle is beautifully restored with pristine attention to detail. Denise was the perfect host and provided us with a packet of info, upon check in, that gave us a wealth of information about the area, local restaurants, wineries, maps, etc. In addition, she was was always ready and willing to... more

In September we stayed with friends for a special occasion at the Castello di Sinio and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we've made. Not only is the Castello beautiful and atmospheric our stay there was one of the service highlight of many trips taken to Italy and Europe. The place is stunning and the owners... more

The castle, set in the middle of the tiny town of Sinio, has been extraordinarily restored. The services, from the receptionist to the wait staff, are exceptional. The breakfast is wonderful. The recommendations of local restaurants, directions to same, and suggestions for day trips, are very helpful. Denise, the owner, is very protective of her "baby", and gives detailed instructions... more

The beautiful garden is relaxing and I've spent many hours there with my laptop, writing under the grapewine... more

Staying at the Castello di Sinio was, in a word, Fantastic. It felt like we were immersed in Italian culture without being left on our own.

The rooms were very... more

She also recommended several terrific places to visit, we had a wonderful leisurely time in the area and around town. This was our second stay at the castle, and I... more

If you like wine and good food, this is the place to be. Denise, besides being an attentive host, is also one of the best italian cooks I have had the pleasure of being served by. The castle is in the heart of Barolo country, and although Italian roads are not easy to navigate, Denise made sure we knew where... more
