Castello di Gabiano

even though we had a reservation the castle staff booked a large group and automatically cancelled our reservation. To be honest our reservation wasn’t paid yet, nevertheless they didn’t notify us nor offered any alternative or future discounts. Very disappointing but we found another location not very far which turned out to be a better experience for wine tasting and lunch for 10 people.

Tired of binge watching historic series on Netflix? Love Game of Thrones, The Medicis, Reign, or are just a huge history buff wanting to have the real life experience? Get off the couch and explore Castello Di Gabiano in the Piedmont region of Italy. This majestic structure sits proudly as the crown jewel atop a mountain, today as she has for centuries, dating back to the year 1000. What history may have forgotten, she has not. Drenched in old world charm Castello Di Gabiano is enchanting with a manicured labyrinth garden, private pool and grounds, ivy spilling over ancient brick walls and picturesque views of endless vineyards and gentle valleys below. Several buildings have been restored to offer rustic yet lovely apartments and suites. The staff are extremely gracious, friendly and accommodating. The wines Gabiano produces are deliciously crafted. An assortment of reds, whites and flavorful blends are available. They also produce a delicious prosecco. With an extensive wine menu there is surly something for every palette making a wine tasting worthwhile. During our stay a portion of the grounds were under renovation. We were informed the facility will soon include the addition of a second pool with spa amenities such as massage and other luxury services offering a more relaxing, retreat style experience. Knights in shining armor and beautiful maidens alike will enjoy experiencing the enchanting old world of yesteryear at Castello Di Gabiano in the piedmont region.

We stayed for three nights as part of our first stop through northern Italy. We had a great experience touring the castle, learning about the history & wine (the tour is well worth it!), and eating at the restaurant. The breakfast buffet is INCREDIBLE with a huge variety of meticulously laid out options. We also had a 3 course dinner with traditional Agnolotti that was superb. Our room was the gli-scacchi, which was quaint and comfortable. It was fun to take a dip in the pool as well! The service was great, and they did an amazing job catering to us as English speakers with very limited Italian. Alessandro was an amazing host!
