The only thing that has changed since our initial stay (and review) here three years ago is that hosts Diana and Micha have added a third stunningly beautiful room.

This B&B is really a treasure. Each of the three guest rooms is such a pleasure: large, beautiful appointed, with spacious modern bathrooms, big, comfortable beds, and lovely amenities. Diana's attention to each detail within the rooms is amazing. Actually, this loving care and artistic eye is evident in every aspect of this little piece of paradise. It's the creativity, above all, that distinguishes Baur B&B from everyplace else.

We felt our hosts devoted themselves to making us happy. The breakfasts were enormous, and created each day from what is fresh locally by Diana's loving hands--far beyond your standard Italian B&B fare. Their recommendations of restaurants and day-trips were spot-on. And, of course, we availed ourselves daily of the terrific house wine and lovely swimming pool that are just part of the package here.

Waking up in the country listening to the birds singing or watching the moon set, but still being just 5 minutes from a great little city, Acqui Terme--it's a pretty great balance, one we haven't found elsewhere in Italy. This is resort-style living at an astonishingly reasonable price.

Thanks again, Diana, Micha, and Max.

Words cannot express the experience that we had at Baur B & B. As stressed out New Yorkers, we were looking for the perfect escape - and thank god we found this gem! Even before we arrived we knew this place was going to be extra special, as Diana was so accommodating with many back and forth emails in helping us arrange wine trips with her husband (who is the BEST!), as well as accommodating my "semi-vegan" diet. Their love of their B&B, the town of Acqui Terme (and it's many great restaurants), and Piemonte in general was evident upon arrival. The room was beautiful, comfortable, and no detail was overlooked. It truly was better than any upscale hotel we've ever stayed in.
And then there are the amazing wine tours. Micha's wine tours are beyond special. He offers you experiences that you CANNOT replicate on your own. His personal relationships with vineyards and his passion and knowledge of the surrounding wine regions are extensive. We felt like we were caught in a real life travel show during our excursions, from hopping into the back of a vineyard owner's Land Rover and touring the property, to walking through cantinas older than the country we live in, our experiences were unbelievable.
And then there was the food. The breakfasts were carefully presented on Diana’s beautiful handmade dishes and the food was homemade and delicious. We could not have asked or expected anything more than what we received. The ingredients were fresh and local (honey accompanying the goat cheese one morning was obtained from their neighbor) and each morning there was something new to savour.
If you are planning on going to Piemonte, do yourself a favor and stay at Baur B&B and take advantage of the wine tours offered. You will not be disappointed. We are already planning another trip to stay at their B&B.

Just outside of Acqui Terme, found only via GPS and through an unpromising, narrow street, across the railroad tracks, and up a steep, twisty gravel driveway lies this perfectly quiet, warm, unassuming, centuries-old farmhouse/ bed and breakfast whose proprietors, the multi-cultural, multi- lingual, and super-knowledgeable Diana and Mischa dish out an ideal measure of dining, wine-tasting, and sight seeing advice and great conversation along with tasty breakfasts of freshly squeezed fruit juices, bread baked on site, fruit jams, and frittatas containing whatever strikes Diana's fancy on a given morning. A daily wine allowance of two free bottles, swimming pool, and very comfortable and attractive rooms made Baur the perfect last stop for us after a too hectic and wild three weeks through Florence, Siena, Milan, and Lake Como; While Diana and Mischa are almost apologetic about their place being a work-in progress, this inn, in its current state, captures the essence of Piemonte in general-- mellow, solid, and beautiful.

We must add our glowing recommendations to the several already earned by Diana, Micha and Max. Baur B&B offers all the elements of a 5 Star hotel but in a warm and welcoming sanctuary located just outside Acqui Terme. Every comfort is provided and the service is unparalled. A gem you are sure to enjoy. You can be certain we will return.
