Introduction

Villa Beccaris is a gracious 18th Century mansion of ochre stone in the gentle and unspoilt countryside of Piemonte; the former home of the General Bava Beccaris. One side of the hotel faces the historic hilltop village of Monforte d’Alba and on the other side are 2500 square metres of tranquil parkland, whose marked paths make it ideal for taking a stroll and admiring the uninterrupted beauty of the countryside. Beyond the park are the vineyards that provide the region’s distinctive wine.

The Hotel

Villa Beccaris, situated in the heart of a park surrounded by vineyards on one side and the historical centre of Monforte d’Alba on the other, was expertly restored and refurbished and opened as a hotel in September 1997. The interiors are decorated throughout in the style of the period in which the villa was built and many of the bedrooms have glorious views of the verdant landscape. The hotel is small, having just seventeen double rooms, five junior suites and one suite. Each room is unique and the elegance is shown in the attention to the detail.

The hotel prides itself on striving to understand the wishes of each guest. Curtains, carpets and bedcovers are coordinated in rich tones of blue, burgundy and green. An added facility is the elegant outdoor pool in the grounds, which makes a very peaceful spot to relax in warm weather. The bar of the Villa, known as "the Auditorium Cafè", is more than a simple bar; inside its two elegant rooms guests find such a particular atmosphere that even drinking a simple cup of coffee becomes a individual and cherished moment. The hotel does not have a restaurant, however this is not a disadvantage, since the immediate area boasts some of the best restaurants in Piemonte, where "trifola" or white truffles are a speciality.

Villa Beccaris also has its own wine cellar, Enoteca Infernot, where guests can sample and purchase the local wines. Here a plethora of fine bottles refine slowly, waiting to be enjoyed; the most notable of all is Barolo, known as the King of the Piedmontese wines.
