Relais San Maurizio

hotel in a monastery from 1619. magical not only because of the history and surroundings but because of the people! wonderful staff, friendly and attentive. a very special THANKS to Monica, the operator manager! she is a passionate host and did everything to make our stay special and memorable!! GRAZIE MILLE! Monica really decorated our days with her attention and lovely gestures! she is the soul in that house that will make us return soon!

I cannot fault the Relais San Maurizio, and it far surpassed my expectations. The suite was tastefully and impeccably designed, spotlessly clean, with all the little extras that make a weekend away all the more special. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, happy to put up with my broken Italian. There are so many places to sit and relax, and the emphasis is very much on ensuring a guest’s stay is as comfortable as possible. The breakfast was magnificent, and we also ate in the bistrot twice, both times enjoying a delicious, well prepared meal, served with discretion and friendliness.|This is a beautiful hotel in a stunning setting, and having come here for a family celebration, I cannot wait to return.

An amazing discovery - spacious and immaculately restored buildings set in beautiful grounds with breathtaking views. |We were welcomed by staff who are clearly proud to be a part of such a high quality establishment, and work hard to make the experience restful and relaxing for guests. |From the service to the delicious food to the supremely comfortable bed - this was an experience we'll never forget. We'll be back.

We adored Relais San Maurizio. The location is beautiful, surrounded by the glorious vineyards, close to Asti and the famous winemakers of the region. The hotel is in a former Cistercian monastery and is a magical place where there is a feeling of harmony and happiness. The gardens are a most enjoyable place to walk and explore, to see the beautiful old trees and visit the monks' herb garden and meditation place. We really enjoyed the peacefulness. The rooms are lovely and light, and characterful. The two restaurants, the Guido Michelin starred restaurant and the bistro, were both excellent and you could enjoy the magnificent view of the Swiss mountain Monte Rosa in the distance from the restaurant terrace. The breakfast is fantastic and is served in the garden with the buffet in the old chapel, a beautiful building where there is the added interest of the contemporary wall art by artist David Tremlett - it look absolutely splendid. We had a very enjoyable and informative wine tasting in the bar with the somelière which we really enjoyed. All the staff in the restaurants and the bar were fabulous, as were all the staff at the reception and the pools/wellness centre and throughout the hotel. The gym is very usable and has good equipment, and it is housed in a pleasant space with lovely view. The hotel's wellness centre is quite special - we loved the salt cave with various salt baths and temperature contrast bath, and we made the most of this by using these wonderful facilities every day of our stay. The reception staff were very helpful, made some excellent recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed. The hotel is superbly run and everyone is efficient, friendly and quite charming. We couldn't fault anything. At San Maurizio everything comes together in a most magical and serene atmosphere. What a wonderful holiday! I would love to visit again, maybe next time with more of my family, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

To begin with, the service and staff are simply fantastic. They are extremely professional and go out of their way to make your holiday perfect. They take care of everything for you, ensuring you are completely carefree and relaxed. Everything we asked for was arranged down to the smallest detail. The food at the bistro and the restaurant was excellent every time, with our highest compliments to the service staff. The rooms were very well maintained and were tidied up two to three times a day. An amazing experience — we recommend it to everyone and will definitely return if we are in the region again. Greetings Thirion & Bukavyn

We arrived to this amazing property for 4 nights. Though they didn't commit to a specific room, they fulfilled my request for a room with a view and a balcony and I think we got the nicest room in the hotel... a stunning view of the valley covered with vines and a small beautiful balcony to sit in with a glass of wine (room 114). The place itself is quite big (used to be a monastery), a lot of beautiful spots, lounges, gardens. Also the decor in the public spaces is really divine and very tasteful, you see that someone thought carefully about every little detail, including fresh plants and flowers everywhere. The spa area is wonderful, very big, lots of facilities, we also enjoyed a treatment which was good. The fitness room is more than one would expect - fully equipped, including protein bars... there are 2 restaurants; one has a Michelin star and also a Bistro. We ate at both and they were very satisfactory. The place is very pampering, the guest really doesn't have to ask for anything, since they really thought about everything. The stuff is absolutely kind, polite, helpful and professional, also adding to the overall perfection. Very difficult leaving the place... hope we come again. Do take into consideration, if you're the type that doesn't like to eat in the same place everyday, that the closest restaurant is a few minutes by car (nothing is walking distance) via a dark curved path, not so pleasant. But hey, who wants to get out of here anyway?! Thank you for a great hospitality🙏🌺

We stayed two nights and this awesome relais. A little bit far of everything but it’s absolutely stunning.|Gorgeous gardens and beautiful decor inside. It has two restaurants, one with an outside area with beautiful scenery and the service of Simo was amazing!|One restaurant is closed on Sundays so we could not go to that one.|They also have a very cute bar which is open till midnight. |I would definitely recommend this relais!

As a five star leading hotel of the world we sort of expected the typical Six Senses or Four Seasons resort. This is not that! Instead it an authentic, unique, quiet and truly lovely alternative. As a monastery from the 1600s it has a contemplative charm you can’t replace. Birds sing, quiet rules. Don’t get me wrong there are fluffy towels and candles etc. it is however a little dated, it’s not exacting on its standards. But it’s totally perfect. You’ll love it. We did.

This was a memorable experience. Words cannot convey how beautiful this area in Italy is and now take a gorgeous resort hotel, spa and restaurant and place it there and call it heaven. We were beyond satisfied with the freshly made pasta daily paired with Barolo and the scenery all around made it very difficult to leave paradise. Highly recommend getting a massage and relaxing by the pool of your choice.

There is no air conditioning in this hotel. It is impossible to sleep as I'm sweeting like a pig. I feel like I'm being robbed of my money for having to spend so much to suffocate in a furnace.

Beautiful restaurant with great service and food. Good food options, great desert and great local wines. Prepared to be full! We had a memorable experience.
