Marcarini Agriturismo

Extremely nice place and fantastic experience. Hosts are very friendly and helpful. Location is truly beautiful and outdoor area has good places to rest and take a glass of wine. We were lucky to join local honey tasting that happened during our stay. I also strongly recommend taking dinner with wine pairing. Those dishes were extremely tasty, well prepared and whole evening turned to be amazing. Our room was spacious, very clean and well maintained. Breakfasts are also at great level. We travelled through differents part of Piemonte, but this area turned out to be most beautiful and became our favourite. For sure we will be back for white truffle season next time!

We loved everything about the Marcarini Agriturismo, but especially the outstanding hospitality provided by Chiara and Tony. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Lovely breakfast with homemade and locally sourced foods. Do not miss the opportunity to experience one of Chiara’s dinners with wine pairing with wines from the Marcarini wine cellars. Perfect location for home base to tour wineries in the area and it was delightful to end the afternoon with the relaxing hot tub and a glass of wine or limoncello spritz. Highly recommend!

What did I like? EVERYTHING! This will sound like a weird way to begin a review, but I’ve been to Piemonte a lot and usually stay at a different place, which I still love. It was full this trip (truffle season!), and I luckily stumbled on to the Marcarini Agriturismo. I say luckily because it was exceptional at every single level. The facility itself is newly updated with really comfortable and large rooms with highly tuned attention to comfort-details. The breakfasts were almost over-the-top special — freshly made cakes, pastries, juices and the regular stuff, but also really great local yogurts, their own hand-made jams (five different ones), individually cooked eggs … etc. We also had a first-night dinner that was amazingly prepared by Chiara, the owner and a trained chef. With Antonello, her husband, shaving local white truffles on our pasta as he regaled us with stories from his truffle-hunting experiences. The highlight of highlights was definitley Antonello and Chiara themselves, two highly knowledgeable and highly service-oriented hosts who helped us in so many ways — local hikes to burn off the pasta, setting up a wine tasting, making restaurant recommendations in this busy season, offering to hook us up on a trufffle hunt. I loved this place — and them! Does it sound like I would recommend staying there :-)

The agriturismo was run by Chiara and Tony and they couldn't have been more helpful or friendly. We felt totally at ease. We had an excellent dinner there hosted by Chiara with a bottle of their own vineyard wine which was superb. The location is first class right in the heart of all the historic towns. Oh and the jacuzzi was a welcome restful setting after a day of exploring. Thank you Chiara and Tony. 🙂

The Agriturismo Marcarini is a family owned vineyard hotel which is managed by a brilliant couple, Chiara and Antonello. As soon as you drive into the courtyard you are met by Chiara and Antonello who offer you warm and friendly welcome. The rooms are large, very clean and very well equipped with everything to make your stay a comfortable and pleasant one. The toiletries are quality and I’m told the hair dryer was very powerful. The bed was massive and extremely comfortable. There is a mini bar in the room which contained water, soft drinks and three bottles of the Marcarini wine (all at an additional cost) There is a dedicated area to relax with sun beds, towels, and a large and powerful Jacuzzi. We decided to eat at the hotel and what an experience that turned out to be. Chiara is the chef and she will only use sustainably and locally sourced organic produce. Her cooking skills are of the highest level and the four courses she presented us with were just sublime. There isn’t a menu, she will cook using the current and available ingredients of the day, which makes the meals there even more special. Of course you can try a variety of wines with your meal or simply but a bottle (or two). The breakfast was as special as the evening meal, again with locally sourced and fresh produce. Unfortunately we only stayed at the Agriturismo Marcarini for just one night, but we fully intend to visit again and stay for longer. In short, the perfect place to visit for a relaxing and comfortable stay with the addition of a unique and high quality dining experience.
