The staff, Vilma (owner) was like having a built in Nonna the property, she couldn't have been more hospitable if she tried. Sylvia was also so lovely and did the wine tasting with us, super knowledgeable. She also helped us with finding a great cooking class to do together. The welcome we got at the property with wine and snacks was also great and the breakfast each day was super fresh and delicious! Also the wine from the property is amazing and they have an honesty system where you can get a bottle of wine and enjoy on overlooking the vines and you just keep a record of what you've taken.

The incredible views, perfect location for visiting the little villages and close to so many dining options. The owner and staff were so friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was beyond anything we could have imagined.

The water flow in the shower was a bit weak

The rooms are modern and well maintained, we like the owners that where friendly, the breakfast was more that satisfy and specialy we liked Sylvia, who helps manage the place, and only for her is it worth traveling to their place. Don't forget to do the wine tasting tour!!

During our stay the family and staff made us feel very welcome and went out of their way to accommodate any queries and provided us information for places to visit in the local area. The breakfasts were amazing including home cooked pastries and cakes. the rooms had beautiful views overlooking the winery.

We had a fantastic stay at Ciascina Sciliun. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming, organizing aperitive & wine tasting, taking us by car to a local restaurant and just making each second of you stay highly memorable.

Perhaps only thing was rooms had no TV....but we were not big TV watchers and spent most of our time exploring the adjacent areas of Alba, Barolo, Neive, etc.

A fantastic location in the hills among vineyards, with great view on adjacent towns. Breakfast was superb and convenient, and staff was warm and welcoming. This is a wine producer, and they were in the midst of finishing up on the harvest. Wine tasting were available, and you could buy their production from past years. Breakfast area was intimate, and all the guest were super friendly..... Got to attend the Annual truffle festival only a few km away and that was an experience. The area has several fantastic restaurants and we got to sample a few of them.

Nothing - It was perfect. You just need a car or a bike to get around because there are no taxis or public transport.

We couldn't recommend this place any more if you're looking for somewhere to stay in the Piedmont region and you have a car. It is perfectly positioned between Alba and Monforte D'Alba, and minutes away from Barolo. The staff were all incredibly lovely despite the fact we didn't speak Italian and they didn't speak much English. The breakfast was delicious and had plenty of options too. The best bit though is the room with one of the most comfortable beds we've had in a hotel and what looked like a brand new bathroom. We can't fault the place and will definitely be coming back if we're in the region again. They also do free wine tasting (in English too) for people who stay there!

Everything, everything! Awesome place! Nicely situated, nicely renovated rooms. Wine tasting was amazing. Breakfast was the best I’ve had in Europe in a long time. They actually had berries, nuts and granola, which we enjoyed greatly with our yogurt! Cappuccino amazing!

Perfect stay at a perfect location, beautiful house with a spectacular view. Excellent and diverse breakfast and super kind and helpful staff. If you don't have a room available, don't miss the wine tasting!

The room was very nice, a comfy bed, really nice design in the room. The breakfast was outstanding!The location was amazing and the views were breathtaking. The wine tasting was exceptional and really personal. The family and the staff were really nice and helpful. It’s also very close to Barolo. We had an amazing stay and we can’t wait until we visit again. We recommend everyone to visit this beautiful vineyard!

A beautiful room, in an excellent location, and very helpful and kind hospitality.

I gave it 9 stars because it misses a pool. Then again, who needs a pool when you’re in the midst of gorgeous scenery. And it doesn’t have a restaurant so you need a car or e-bike to get to one of the many beautiful restaurants, wine bars and trattorias, most of which are less than 10 minutes away.

Everything. Guests are treated like family here and the property is a working vineyard, beautifully located amongst the rolling hills of the Langhe. Sitting on the terrace with a glass of local wine contemplating life and watching the awesome scenery is pure bliss. The breakfast buffet is superb too.

Wow! Absolute best stay in all of Italy by far! Please don't hesitate to book here as you will definitely not regret it! The location is central in the middle of Barolo wine region, with breathtaking 360 degree view of wineries all around you. The family running the winery and hotel gave us the warmest welcome we had received in all of Italy (which is saying a lot!!) And made sure we were very very well looked after during the entirity if our stay. The hotel provides you with a fantastic place to relax and watch the sunset over a bottle of wine and some great local products. The rooms are very thoughtfully and beautifully appointed to the standard of a modern 5 star standard. They also have the best breakfast we have had in Italy with a very impressive variety of sweet and savoury local products as well as some of the best wine in this very prestigious area. The wine tasting they provided to us during our stay was very thorough and led by the very knowledgeable winemaker. Definitely just book this place without any hesitation as it will be your best experience in Italy!

Nothing not to like

Staff was hands down the best experience we had in 16 days and 7 different stays. They are beyond accommodating, caring, and genuinely care about your time in monforte. We will absolutely stay anytime we are in this area.

Rain-type shower heads.

Living at a working farm in paradise is a different type of stay, but one well worth the effort. Don’t expect TV or even an easy way to find the place. Expect small roads and hills, BUT don’t give up. It’s well worth the effort. From the hospitable hosts to the English speaking wine expert who gives a fabulous free tasting in an unimaginably beautiful outdoor setting, our visit was truly memorable. We’d recommend it to all those who love great wine and where it comes from!

I couldn't fault it.

What an amazing place! I could not fault it. Absolutely stunning, amazing rooms and very friendly staff. The breakfast was excellent!

Had trouble adjusting the air conditioning.

Family atmosphere and beautiful views of Bussia.

Stayed in August 2021

The room was a little dark and short of sun. It was airconditioned but it would have been better to have had the ability to open windows in the bedroom and had a through draft, as the aircon was noisy. But that is a minor grumble as the room was otherwise comfortable.

The breakfast in Agriturismo Casina Sciulun was one of the best breakfasts I have had. It was fresh, there was lots of choice and local products were used. It was well presented and I doubt that there was anyone who would have left breakfast still hungry.

Nothing. Just Don’t let the look of the outside of the buildings put you off

Everything. Location, very friendly owners

Stayed in May 2021

The room is very small, so that one suitcase had to be placed under the table (closet is too small to be of much use). Unfortunately, the air conditioning was not working so it was also very stuffy, despite a screened window (no wind). The wifi was unreliable, sometimes worked, then dropped, then slow. Outside on the nice terrace, there was no internet connection. (There is a lovely outdoor patio area which provided space.) The bathroom is typical small European, but this shower stall was exceptionally small.

The agritourism is perfectly located for exploring the Barolo area. The wine tasting is excellent (Franco Conterno) and we ended up buying a vertical of their very old wines because they were so wonderful. The staff is friendly, helpful and engaging. Lovely outdoor terrace on our room.
