  "Amazing"

  "A small oasis a stone's throw from Barolo"

  06/10/2019

  La Cascina del Monastero is a magical place, a stone's throw from La Morra, Barolo, strategic for its tourist position, but at the same time isolated, a real oasis in which to relax. The beautiful architectural structure, carefully designed and at the same time respected in its historical design, is located at the base of the hill, surrounded by vineyards and a small lake that seems almost designed. The starry sky, the croaking of frogs, a swimming pool overlooking the countryside, are ideal for relaxing, disconnect from the world of everyday life, even just for a weekend. Velda is not only an available person, but also a customer-oriented and at the same time very discreet person. So that you feel pampered but in the right measure!
  I recommend breakfast because it is a triumph of local flavours and delicacies, most of which are homemade!

  "Amazing"

  "I am coming back - awesome!"

  07/29/2018

  Completely fantastic. The owners could not have been more accommodating - nothing was too much trouble.
  The venue is fabulousl. The pool and facilities are wonderful. The vineyards are relaxing to walk in and the views are to die for.
  The breakfasts are superb for foodies - loads of local produce, at least eight different local or regional cheeses, fantastic cold cuts, fresh fruit, etc. Brilliant for both adults and children.
  The rooms are scrupulously clean, air conditioned, comfortable, and have good cooking facilities for those not wanting to eat out every day.
  A note to wine lovers. This place is a serious producer of great traditional wines, and with a couple of modern twists here and there.
  The wine tasting and the tours were run by Velda's and Beppe's son, Loris. He is a knowledgeable and passionate young winemaker. Get him talking about the property and the wine, and he is difficult to keep quiet (although so enthusiastic was I, it was hard not to feel that I had overstayed my welcome on a couple of occasions). The tastings are extremely interesting and generous. Different crus and vintages kept on coming out depending on my tastes. Remarkably, Loris remembered my favourite wines over the week, and honed in on some particular crus and vintages that he thought I would like. This is absolutely priceless for an interested wine drinker who wants to be educated in the local wine culture and terroir.
  All of the wines are great, right from the more modest Barberas, through to the high-end Barolos. It was a genuine privilege to drink wine here and chat with someone so passionate about his wine and the local culture.
  Really not looking forward to going home. I will return.
  Visit this place. It's awesome!

  "Very good"

  "Very Nice"

  We spent two night in the Cascina and enjoyed it a lot. The owner Velda was very friendly and helpful and prepared a great breakfast (with excellent raspberry cheesecake) despite that we were the only two guest at that moment. She also pointed out some great restaurants in the environment. The room was also very good and specious. Only minor issue was the pool area that could do with some refurbishing (less plastic). Pool itself though was great with very nice view on the surrounding wine fields. We also highly recommend the wine tasting by the son of the house we has a great passion for the wines.

  Thanks for the nice review.
  I understand the restoration of the pool.
  That is to put more beautiful swimming chairs etc ...
  Unfortunately we also have children as guests in this house and can not be tough with them when they jump on the chairs and break .
  I hope I will soon be able to buy new ones
  A warm greetings
  Velda
