If you want to experience Italy at its finest visit the Relais, San Desiderio. The Relais is a large traditional villa with 7 bedrooms, a kitchen, lounge, courtyard, swimming pool and spa. Each bedroom was unique and beautiful with frescos on the ceiling and traditional artworks on the walls. The bedrooms, balconies and terrace roof have spectacular views across the valley. The Relais is self catering with a communal kitchen and lounge which was well stocked for all our needs with plenty of space for our own shopping, food and drink. It was a pleasure to meet and talk to other visitors to The Relais who came from all over the world. The house is run by a lovely lady, Daniela, who couldn’t have done more to make us welcome, or even feel part of the family. The Relais is in the middle of San Desiderio which is as real as it is beautiful. It is 2km from the towns of Calliano and Grana where you can pick up all you need, access a bank, post office and visit the local restaurants and pizzerias. In this part of Italy you are surrounded by great food, delicious wine and wonderful scenery…a wonderful way to spend a holiday. We will definitely go back to The Relais to enjoy its unique beauty and family atmosphere and from there enjoy the Piedmont area and have easy access to Northwest Italy, Asto, Turin, Genova and Milan.

We spent a very enjoyable time at this hotel. Our room was beautifully furnished with period pieces and frescos on the walls and ceiling. We were greeted warmly by the hostess who spoke excellent English and gave us a great deal of useful information about the location and places to visit in the area. The views were absolutely stunning, especially from the roof. There was a vista of vineyards in all directions which were breathtaking. Nearby, there was a very good restaurant that served homemade food with local wine. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an isolated spot in the country with spectacular views and appreciates traditional style and quality.

“Nice relais but isolated area.”

Nice facility but poor value for the price. Beautiful mountainside views, old monestary showers very small. Food very expensive and ala carte. Averaged $650 a night with one diner during 2 night stay. Nearby town of san stephano bieblo is an option for diner. But you just can't beat the views and… Mehr

Wir waren mit 5 Personen für 3 Nächte dort. Das Relais liegt in einer einsamen, recht heruntergekommenen Strasse. Man kommt an und steht vor einem geschlossenen Tor. Erst nachdem wir nach mehrmaligem klingeln eine Telefonnummer angerufen haben, kam eine sehr nette freundliche Dame , die uns unsere Zimmer zeigte und uns für die restliche Zeit Schlüssel für alle Türen und Tore aushändigte.Sie kam auch morgens und machte das Frühstück und die Zimmer.Wir waren während der Zeit also komplett alleine dort. Weder Fernseher noch Radio noch andere Unterhaltungsmedien waren funktionstüchtig.Auch die im Internet gezeigten Räume waren nicht geöffnet.Wir sahen keinen Teppich ,dafür hatten Couch und Sessel im Aufenthaltsraum Polyesterschonbezüge! Die Zimmer waren mit alten Möbeln sehr schön und gemütlich eingerichtet, die Bäder hatten Duschen, die mit Textilvorhängen ausgestattet waren. Das Frühstück war ausreichend.Leider gab es in einiger Entfernung nur ein recht teures Restaurant.Ansonsten wir haben weder Bar noch ein anderes Lokal gesehen so dass man auf jeden Fall fahren muss um zu essen oder zu trinken.Fazit :ich würde es nur für Gruppen empfehlen die auch Italien erfahren sind .
