Locanda La Raia

Locanda La Raia is an unforgettable gem in the heart of Piedmont. From the moment we arrived, the 18th-century renovated estate took our breath away—elegant, serene, and beautifully restored while maintaining its historic charm. The service was top-class, with every detail carefully considered to make our stay perfect. The highlight, of course, was the incredible biodynamic Gavi wines, which showcased the estate’s deep commitment to quality and sustainability. Each glass was a reflection of the region, expertly paired with the outstanding cuisine—fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Every aspect of our stay was flawless, from the peaceful surroundings to the warm hospitality. If you’re looking for an authentic and luxurious escape in Piedmont, Locanda La Raia is simply unparalleled. Can’t wait to return!

Very smart hotel. The staff were do helpful and attentive. Ice cold room ac. Lovely restaurant, great staff. Spa and pool well equipped. Pool a little cool for kids but was still fun. Done to a very high standard. Great wine tour included. A very nice stay.

We absolutely loved our stay at La Raia! The service and welcome were extraordinary. Set among the vineyards in the gently rolling hills of Piedmont, it is truly a place to relax, unwind, and enjoy superb food and the incredible wines of the Gavi region.

We stayed at Laconda La Raia for three days in May. The visit was very last minute as we were planning on visiting Cinque Terra, but that fell through so we were looking for an alternative in Piemonte.||We booked based on the reviews and were very happy. The hotel is a small boutique hotel with about 12 rooms, a spa, workout room, and comfortable common areas.||As we arrived with no definite plans on what we were going to do for our stay, Fiona and Erika went above and beyond in helping us plan wine tastings, lunches, e-bike rides and, in general, helping with travel logistics.||Our room was beautiful with a view of the vineyards. The restaurant was excellent. And the spa with steam room and sauna was relaxing.||I would highly recomend this property!

We spent a lovely 2 day getaway here. They greeted us with a warm welcome and great hospitality throughout our stay. The food is delicious and fresh. We also did an authentic Thai massage at their cave spa which was very relaxing.

Fantastic stay at this beautiful property! We had the 2bedroom apartment for our family of four. Stunningly appointed and very comfortable. Breakfasts were a delicious spread of local Italian treats. We loved our meal at the restaurant for dinner. Pool was a hit with the kids, we loved the sauna and steam. Such a find!

From arrival to our departure, a top service, excellent food and a very nice room. This rather small hotel is ideally located in the surrounding wineyards. The wine tasting in their cellar nearby is very interesting and the biodynamics wines are of excellent quality. The only inconvenience, nothing to do with the high quality of the hotel, is that the Gavi region doresn't offer a lot of interesting sightseeings. Therefore, I recommend a short stay of 2-3 days to take a nice rest at the hotel facility!
