About this property

In central BAROLO - Private apt w/Huge Terrace w/ 360 degree views of vineyards!

TorreBarolo is one of a kind! It is a renovated 19th century tower in historic Barolo village, which is in the heart of the Langhe Valley. You are truly spoiled for choice with all the wineries, restaurants and wine shops you can walk to from TorreBarolo. As it is a tower, please note you must use stairs to go between the different floors, however, it is worth it as you get amazing views and privacy as you enjoy 360 degree views of the village and surrounding hills from the magnificent roof top terrace.

In 2014, the Langhe was appointed a UNESCO Heritage location and Barolo is the perfect location to tour many of the most scenic and noteworthy wine producing hill top towns such as La Morra and Monforte D'Alba. Alba is a 15 min drive and there you can enjoy walking down the charming cobble stone pedestrian streets discovering unique stores and coffee bars or dining in a Michelin star restaurants. At the end of the day, head back to the roof terrace to sip some wine and slice up the local salumi and enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the area.

The property offers you 3 levels of living space and stone stairs must be climbed to go between each of the 3 levels. If you are not comfortable climbing stairs, this might not be the right property for you.

NB: The only bathrooms are ensuite to the bedrooms and located one floor below the living room/kitchen. There is no washer/dryer at the property. Parking is not private (narrow streets) but located in an un-metered/large parking lot a few minute walk from TorreBarlo.

LEVEL ONE: Both bedrooms are on the same level but are not adjacent so and they provide privacy for the occupants.

PRIMARY BEDROOM: Upon entering the property (which is up 3 small flights of stairs from the courtyard), you turn left up 2 small flight of stairs to access the primary bedroom. There is a beautiful view through the windows and french doors to the vineyards. Via the french doors you access a balcony that overlooks the cobblestone communal courtyard. This room sleeps 2. There is a Queen size bed, small free standing wardrobe (not closet) , and there is an ensuite bathroom with a narrow shower, bidet, a toilet and a sink. PLEASE NOTE: There is NO Air conditioning in the primary bedroom.

SECONDARY BEDROOM: Upon entering the property (up 3 small flights of stairs), you turn right up one small flight of stairs, but the opposite direction of the primary bedroom, is the secondary bedroom with 2 twin beds that 99% of the time are put together but can be separated on request. There is a large closet and standing full length mirror. There is a small ensuite bathroom with small/narrow shower, sink, bidet and toilet. This room DOES have air-conditioning wall unit.

2nd FLOOR - LIVING AREA/KITCHEN: Up 2 small flights of stairs from primary bedroom, you access the open plan living/dining/kitchen area with six floor-to-ceiling French doors providing stunning views of the environs. There is a side terrace with table/benches. Up a half flight of stairs is a mezzanine with a desk and chair where you can use your laptop as the property offers WiFi. There is a large air-conditioning wall unit in the living room/kitchen.

3rd FLOOR - ROOF TERRACE: This is the most breathtaking feature of the tower. During your stay you will have exclusive use of the roof terrace that consists of comfortable outdoor furniture and an umbrella to shield the sun on warm summer days. Steep stair to go up and down to the roof terrace.

Closest airports: Turin, Genoa and Milan. Barolo is 20 min off the A6 Autostrada which within 1 hour you can reach the beaches of the Italian Riviera while the mountains on the border with France are about a 90 minute drive to the west.

Many sports can be enjoyed in the Langhe. Golf, tennis, hiking and swimming. The photo of the pool is a public municipal pool located in Monforte d'Alba that is 10 min from Barolo. For 12 euros you have access to a pool, umbrella, lounge chairs and there is both a bar and restaurant. It is a wonderful place to spend a lazy day. Check the website for opening as this is a seasonal pool. https://www.pizzeriapiscinaleginestre.it/

Truly Special
Torre Barolo is a very unique property. Centrally located in the heart of the charming town of Barolo. It offers a panoramic view of the gorgeous countryside from every window and a spectacular roof top terrace. Clean and comfortable with a fully equipped kitchen. Be mindful that there are four different levels connected by stairs. We found it to be a perfect base for exploring the Langhe wine region.

Lots of Stairs
Great location but would have appreciated clearer disclosure of the number of stairways that had to be navigated. It can be an issue for older folks with luggage.

When in Barolo drink wine
This is a lovely and quirky apartment in the center of Barolo a small village is the Piedmont region. Barolo is all about wine and the location is superb for both exploring the town of Barolo and a 10 minute drive to La Morra. The views from the apartment are breathtaking. The apartment is all about the stairs. Down to the bedroom and up to the living room and up again to the beautiful patio. Don’t let the stairs deter you, worth every step and a good way to stay in shape while you are experiencing the local dining and wine tasting.

Wonderful base in Piedmont with amazing view!
We loved our 4-day stay at the Torre Barolo. It was the perfect base for exploring the area, and the apartment itself had everything we needed. It was very clean and comfortable and the best part was the incredible balcony on the roof overlooking the town and the valley below. It made a lovely spot to enjoy a bottle of wine at the end of the day. All of our communication with the host was very easy, and she went out of her way to make suggestions to help us get he most of our visit. We would highly recommend this property!

Unique with Fantastic Panorama’s in a Picturesque Wine Village.....
It is hard to find the right words for this property - it is truly unique as it is built inside a tower in the central part of a lovely very old village. Everything is on different levels and if you have been doing your stair or elliptical machine at the gym you will be ready for living here! You might get tired of the stairs, but you will never get tired of looking out the living rom/kitchen level or from the top deck. The hills surrounding the village are really beautiful and lend a sense of calm and quiet to the property. And speaking of quiet...this is really a quiet rental... at least the off season week that we spent here. We we noticed that there is no car traffic and very little outside noise — it is QUIET ! Everything works in the rental, but be aware the shower is a bit on the small side — I am 6’2”, 210 and it was a bit of a squeeze. This is NOT uncommon in older towns (we have the same thing in our upstairs bedroom in an old city in France). Barolo is a good point for jumping off in the region — you are less than 20 minutes from a lot of good wine, great places to eat and fun castles/churches to explore.... Parking in the town was easy (it was April) and the walk to the house short. Megan and Robbie were very responsive at every step of the way — they are good people to do business with.

Borgogno's got nothing on this place!
Stayed at this property with my wife the second week of October 2018 and we were thoroughly impressed with the place and really enjoyed our stay. The apartment is in the heart of the commune of Barolo and can walk to everything in the village. There is free parking maybe five hundred yards from the apartment so very convenient. The layout is tower style so you need to walk a couple of flights of steps from the courtyard to the front door, then accordingly to the bed room (which was a nice size along with an adjoining bathroom) and likewise to the living area and kitchen and finally to the rooftop patio. The rooftop patio is worth the price of admission in itself. The views of Barolo and the surround area are breathtaking on a sunny day! Borgogno is a winery who's tasting room and it's own rooftop patio is literally next door and this apartments patio OVERLOOKS theirs! There were more than just a few stares of envy from patrons there as they shared that patio with 40+ and it just me and my wife on this one! SerraLunga D'alba, Cannubi, La Morra and Monforte D'alba are short drives away for real Barolo wine lovers as is Barbaresco and day trips to Alba and Torino (Turin) are convenient as well. There are some really nice restaurants in the commune of Barolo including Barolo Rosso where we ate our last evening (try the stuffed onion and stuffed peppers if you go and the chocolate cake is to die for) and enoteca's where the wines of the area are featured. The apartment is in live in condition and has WiFi and the other "essentials" needed. If given the opportunity, we will stay here again in the future!

Sunsets to remember!
We very much enjoyed our week in Torre Barolo during the first week of October. The weather was very good, morning hikes to the surrounding hill towns and well located for afternoons to Treiso, Alba, Guarene, Saluzzo, Manta, Monforte d'Alba, Dogliani. Check in and out was very easy and parking in the town's parking lot was no challenge. Highly recommend for active travelers.

Excellent property!
The pictures and description of this accommodation are certainly accurate but cannot fully describe the wonderful ambiance of this unique, historical and authentic property. It is cute and charming, situated in the middle of town and was perfect as our home base while exploring the Barolo, and fully equipped to meet our needs while relaxing and living in the suite. The rooftop deck was a special treat . We especially appreciated the great communication and quick responses from the owners (Megan) as she answered questions and provided information and great local recommendations to make our stay enjoyable. Thanks as well to Clara, a local contact that made our arrival and departure at the property easy. We hope to someday return to this beautiful property and we highly recommend it to others.

Ein Traum wurde wahr!
Wer träumt nicht davon ein Mal in einem alten Turm zu wohnen?! Wie schön, dass wir uns diesen Traum mit Megan's Turm in Barolo auf so wundervolle Weise erfüllen konnten! Die Bilder versprechen nicht zu viel. Der Turm ist wirklich so schön renoviert, wie die Fotos es versprechen, die Aussichten sind wirklich 360 Grad und zu jeder Wetterlage atemberaubend. Alles ist so gut ausgestattet, sodass man auch mal zu Hause kochen kann und die Beschreibungen im Informations-Hefter sehr gut, um alle Geräte sicher zu bedienen. Nur als wir die Heizung an einem kühlen Herbstabend benötigten, haben wir dies nicht direkt nachvollziehen können. Doch hier war schnell und unkompliziert die vor Ort Ansprechpartnerin Daniela zur Stelle, welche uns hier helfen konnte. Wir haben sogar das treppauf, treppab dort genossen und die vielen Parkmöglichkeiten sind auch nicht allzuweit entfernt, sodass wir den Turm wieder buchen würden Vielen Dank Megan und Daniela für die hilfreichen Hinweise vorab und die tolle Betreuung vor Ort!

About the host

Hosted by Megan Schuster

Host profile image
Hi. I having been coming to the Langhe since 1998. I used to live in London so it wasn't so crazy to buy a vacation property in my favorite place on earth. Then in 2009, I ended up marrying an Italian who wanted to live in the US. I love my tower and will never give it up, and so I rent it out so that it gets used by other people who can enjoy it as much as I do.

Why they chose this property

I have been fortunate to travel the world but every time I go to Barolo and sit on my roof terrace it takes my breath away. And in the 20 years I have owned my tower, there are so many events that have become staples of the seasons. Of course there are the food and wine festivals. The region is excellent in supplying information in English on the regional tourist website about all these events. The biggest is in October and November and centers around the harvest of the white Alba truffle.
My property is my home and you get the entire 3 floors all to yourself. You are in the historic center of Barolo and all shops and restaurants are all accessible within a few minutes walk. There are lots of stairs in the property but in the 20 years most comments say they appreciate the stairs as it helps offset to all the food and wine consumed.
Barolo is in the countryside but an easy 15 min to ALBA and an easy 20 min from the Autostrada therefore making it a very perfect location for touring both in the Langhe and Piemonte and Liguria.

What makes this property unique

An 19th century tower that is the 2nd tallest building in the town (after the Castle) which offers complete privacy yet is in the center of the most important wine town in the Langhe, and some could argue in Italy. From every window the views are breathtaking but it is the huge roof terrace that will take your breadth away and have you coming back year after year. To have this privacy and views and still be steps away from excellent restaurants, entotecas and wineries, TorreBarolo offers it all.
