Agriturismo in Piedmonte - Langhe Area

My family is set for another exciting excursion to Italy this summer and will be visiting Piedmonte for the first time. We've stayed in some fabulous farms all over Italy thanks to the recommendations from the forum!

So of course, I have to ask again... any recommendations for a warm and down-to-earth Agriturismo in the Langhe area? (A flat/apartment type room would be preferred but not a must. A good breakfast and the possibility of a communal dinner with other guests are also nice extras if available.)

Grazie!

Look at Villa Favorita, just a short distance out of Alba.

We are making our third trip to the Langhe this spring and really like the area and the people. If you do stay at Villa Favorita, try to make it to Osteria del Vicoletto. It is on a back street in Alba. We were referred there by Italians we met outside Parma at another great restaurant and were told is where the other chefs in the area take their meals. Indeed when we went there was a group of chefs at the table next to us.

Another option of where to stay is Serralunga d'Alba, Agriturismo Il Grappoli just outside the town. Serralunga is very small and quaint, surrounded by vineyards and wineries. There are three very good restaurants varying from casual to fine dining. The area is a good spot from which to explore the central part of the Langhe and the Barolo wines. There are trails throughout the area where you can hike through the vineyards to the neighboring villages.

Ann, this is fantastic. Agriturismo Il Grappoli looks like it has the DNA of farms we adored in tuscany/puglia and umbria. I'll mark down your restaurant suggestions as well. Many thanks and enjoy your trip!
