My first impressions were of a beautiful house ruined by the close proximity of roads but a couple of days later Il Gioco was just "home". And this is the beauty of the place, you are treated as family. The room was spotless, the bed comfortable, the bathroom small but functional. The gardens lovely and the breakfast outstanding.

Upon arrival around midnight, after a hard day of work and fast travel to this farmhouse, imagine a fireplace, a pan with butter, boiling water on the fire, homemade ravioli on a plate ready to be cooked and a note inviting to collect some fresh sage, just outside the kitchen door. Imagine that it is not imagination, but the beginning... More

We stayed at the bed & breakfast for some days. It is nice and rooms are well decorated, everything is clean and the breakfast is far beyond the ordinary. The hosts are very nice as well and have lots of good recommendation for tours around the region. We also got free afternoon coffee and cakes from the "heart of the... More

This charming B & B is just outside Barolo. It's near a busy road, with some traffic noise, but that also makes it convenient for driving to the wonderful hill towns and castles in the area. The owner/hostess, Raffaella, is charming and incredibly helpful. She always has a smile on her face and is eager to suggest sightseeing and to... More

We spend three nights in this charming former farmhouse. Rafaella, the owner, could not have been kinder nor more welcoming. The rooms are comfortable (except for the awful pillows!) and the bathrooms very clean (shower only, though). There is a small common room with two arm chairs and a small sofa (half occupied by the house cat) and a small... More
