This is a perfect gem of a place. It is located on a tiny hill town called Guarene. The hotel has been renovated by people who know what they are doing. Every little thing was designed for comfort and style. The staff were extremely helpful, the breakfast was delicious and the beds were the best of our trip. The location is about a 8 minute drive from Alba down a windy path. There is even a charger for electric cars located in this tiny hill town. However, the thing that struck us the most was how beautiful everything was everywhere we looked. If you have a car, rent this place. It's A+

No fault of the hotel, but it was a challenge driving up in this little town owing to the narrow streets and 70 degree slopes of the village. The hotel is perfect. And, in fairness, the view is beyond beautiful.

This is one of the best boutique hotels we have been to in Europe. Guarene is a charming little village, and the hotel's location is fantastic. We stayed in the Junior Suite with Balcony, which had a wonderful view of the village and surroundings. The room is huge, well-appointed, and uniquely designed. Nadia (and the rest of the team there) was a wonderful host and helped us plan our two-day stay with restaurants and wineries to visit with excellent recommendations. This place is so tastefully restored and designed, with so much attention to detail. Everything is high-quality and with maximum comfort in mind! Breakfast was great too.

I wish we stayed longer!

The property, breakfast and staff were all well beyond expectations. The staff were able to secure us excellent dinner reservations, provided excellent check in service, and continued to be proactive about making sure our stay was perfect. Breakfast in the morning was marvelous, and the property and location couldn't be better.

I can't think of anything negative. The bed was stiff for my taste, but I know everyone's different.

Il Cortile is a lovely B&B with an historic feel but with modern amenities in our room like a comfortable, king-sz. bed and rain shower head. Our 1 BR. was spacious and comfortable (sofa, chair & desk). Very delicious breakfasts!

The wifi is extremely slow. We did not have a safe as mentioned as one of our amenities.

Superb stay at Il Cortile Di San Michele, the place has been beautifully restored with exquisite tastes! The location is close to Alba and convenient for wine tasting in the region. The breakfast was beyond our expectation, with fresh juices, baked cakes, eggs and else on demand… The team is charming, and we cannot wait to come back and big up to the restaurant Osteria Imperfetta near by.

Our stay was perfect, but we stayed only one night as we had booked another hotel closer to the Wineries as to avoid driving too much afterwards. Guarene is a little stretch by car if you’re tasting in Barolo and La Morra.

Beautiful accommodation in a gorgeous historic town. With only 2 nights and one full day to explore the region, Nadia was an amazing host, putting together a fantastic itinerary for us. She had excellent recommendations for restaurants, wineries, etc. and booked everything for us. Breakfast was also great, we wish we could have stayed longer.

We loved our stay very much and tis is the first 10/10 I've given ever! - The ground floor room is PERFECT for travelling with a baby since it has a terrace in the front and you can leave your stroller outside. - Very good breakfast (a.o. fresh orange juice and pancakes) with delicious coffee - Staff wants to make you feel like kings and queens: they're super helpful and they give you lots of recommendations for discovering the area. They really go the extra mile to make your stay amazing (Thank you so much Rafaella!) - Exceptionally clean (which you can easily notice with a crawling baby) - Upon request, you can have a delicious fresh lunch in the hotel. - The room was very big and quiet: there was no noise from the street or from other rooms in the hotel

- An umbrella at the pool to provide some shadow would be a nice bonus

Beautiful hotel, stunning interiors lots of little details and such a peaceful, relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. The service was excellent, really helpful and gave us some great restaurants recommendations. I only wish we could have stayed longer. We would love to come back again soon.

This is an exceptional beautiful place to stay. Everything about it is welcoming. The decor is wonderful. The staff not just recommended restaurants but booked them for us. We were greeted warmly in every way. We may not get back quickly but we will go back and enjoy the peace of this beautiful hotel.

Absolutely nothing

Of all the places we have stayed during our travels over the years, this is by far the most wonderful and memorable place! The interiors are tastefully designed and the courtyard and pool area are lovely and calm. These already by themselves would have been more than we could possibly have expected, but add to that the exceptional warmth and hospitality of Nadia and Raffaella and you have a place you'd want to rate far above 10/10!
