Al Calar della Sera  |  Bed & Breakfast in Sommariva del Bosco

A pleasant one night stay. Family run and everyone was very welcoming and friendly. Roberto was particularly helpful when I arrived on my motorcycle and needed some help parking. Breakfast was mainly pastries, yoghurts and ample coffee. Plenty secure parking within the courtyard for cars. I was on a motorcycle, be aware the rear section of the carpark is deep gravel so park your bike in the first section where there’s plenty hard standing (I didn’t but had help with a brick puck for my side stand). My room had a separate bathroom next to it and it wasn’t a problem. Everything was clean and tidy, air conditioning and ceiling fan worked well. A very welcoming family, I left there feeling well looked after, so book up and support them 🙂.

Super nice place with helpful staff!

Pleasant, great service, the nicest owner you can find, an old farm house which so cleverly turned int a "B&B". Perfect location to stay in for visiting the Barolo and Barbaresco wine area, Alba, Bra, Barolo and all those charming places are several minute driving distance. The little village, Sommariva del Bosco, has it's own charm. we loved the place and we definitely will be happy to stay there again.

This hotel was fabulous! It's well worth the bit of trouble to find it. My boyfriend and I arrived late at night to find the entrance gated and in an alley, but after some investigating noticed a doorbell next to the gate and it was opened immediately by an incredibly hospitable woman who showed us to our room and even upgraded us to more space. The room was clean and well decorated, opening to a quaint courtyard. The staff was very attentive and courteous during the continental breakfast the next morning. Really a lovely place.

This is a charming place where you will experience warm, friendly and trusting hospitality from the couple who runs it. The bedroom I had with private bathroom and balcony was tastefully decorated and clean, plus the bed was comfortable. Guests can help themselves to bottled water from the fridge as well as coffee, and are trusted with free tasting of various grappa and liqueur. The latter and exquisite local chocolates are displayed and for sale in the breakfast room at very reasonable prices. I made the most of it! Do go to nearby Strumia for ice cream, special honey and exquisite confectionary and visit Racconigi Castle if you get the chance! I have no hesitation at all recommending Al Calar della Sera. I am giving a 4 for the surrounding neighbourhood because there is not much happening in this small village and on a Wednesday night, the 2 nearest restaurants were closed.
