We know that Villa Ribota is the best place to stay in Barolo, perfectly situated in the peace of the countryside, with views to die for, and yet just moments from the wineries and restaurants of Barolo, La Morra, Novello and Monforte d’Alba. But you don’t just have to take our word for it… Here is what some of our past guests had to say…
“What can I say?! This home is stunningly beautiful… It is very close to so many gorgeous towns and they did an amazing job on the renovation. The pool is fantastic. The view is stunning. The kitchen has everything you would ever need and there is a grill as well. Our hosts Allegra, Rich and Bee were the best. They are just lovely people and want to make sure their guests are happy… In short, you will love staying here and they will take great care of you!

“The house is beautifully renovated and furnished with great attention to detail and a lot of work. The room layout is perfect. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. The pool and outdoor area are amazing (with breathtaking views of the vineyards) and you can just relax, socialize and have fun here.

“I don’t think I can overstate the quality of every aspect of the house. They helped us with local dining in Novello (L’Angolo di Rosina is a must), an in-house chef’s dinner (ask for Shira), and perhaps the best cycling experience of my life. The house was very comfortable for the 13 of us – the kitchen has everything you’ll need, the pool is beautifully maintained, and the view across the valley to Novello is breathtaking. I highly recommend Rich and Allegra’s place as THE place to stay.”

“The Villa is a pearl located just a few minutes from Barolo. Everything is clean and cared for down to the smallest detail: The rooms are generous and bright, the sparkling clean bathrooms, the dining tables are large and equipped with comfortable chairs, the swimming pool and its relaxation area is spectacular. Given the period we used the grill, the pizza oven and the kitchen: all in TOP condition! I’ll be back!”

“Beautiful villa with a beautiful view. Everything in the house was immaculate, as was the outdoor area and pool. Location is perfect for exploring the Langhe… Can’t recommend highly enough!

“Villa Ribota is the best holiday house we have ever stayed in. We have been regular travelers in Piedmont for over 10 years, and no place ever came close in term of location, view, facilities, decoration – you name it… My only regret now is that, with such a wonderful holiday place, it is inevitable that one needs to plan his holiday well in advance to secure booking – and I hope we’ll be able to come back many times in the future!

“We had a fantastic stay at Villa Ribota during our four-day trip to Piemonte in October. All the rooms are gorgeous. Though the pictures look great, the house and surrounding area is even more beautiful in real life. Situated right outside Barolo, it’s a perfect base for exploring the Langhe area, either on foot, by bike or car. My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer, but hopefully we can return next year!”

“Probably the best placed we’ve stayed full stop. The house is fabulous. Nice big rooms, fantastic living space and utterly incredible pool area. The view is honestly to die for. It’s also in a brilliant location. Only 5 minutes drive from the restaurants and bars of La Morra, Barolo and Novello. If you’re a cyclist then bring your bike because it’s incredible. You’ll definitely work up a sweat but it’s outrageously beautiful.”

“The house is just amazing! Beautiful, very comfortable, with wonderful rooms, perfect beds, equally beautiful bathrooms and everything done with great care in the details! The view from every room is incredibly beautiful… Waking up like this was a privilege for us! And everything we needed was there, prepared with care. The kitchen is very practical and we use it a lot for breakfast and dinner. Villa Ribota is our piece of paradise that we will never forget!“

“An absolute gem for smaller or larger groups traveling to beautiful Barolo/Novello for a wine exploring and relaxing holiday… With its location you are very central in the Barolo district and yet still you are at a quiet relaxing place with the pool and a fantastic view. The rooms are big and spacious. Everything is kept clean and with a homely atmosphere. Can’t recommend this place enough!”

“We fell in love with the amazing views and the quiet pace of local life. The villa was very spacious and easily accommodated our large party of 11. The large outdoor area, with its pool and surrounding vineyards gave the kids space to roam and the adults a chance to relax and take in the view. The location of the villa was perfect- it made an ideal base for exploring local villages, yet larger cities were not too far away. All in all, we had an amazing time at the villa- so many memories and experiences that we will cherish forever!”

“This is how to do it! Fantastic house, wonderful location and lovely hosts. We are coming back! Richard and Allegra know what they are doing and assist in every aspect to make your stop in this region perfect and you itch when you leave because you know that you have to come back to Villa Ribota!”

“What could be better than Barolo for breakfast lunch and dinner? NOTHING! Absolutely NOTHING! The villa is STUNNING and looks and feels even better than the pictures show. It is roomy, bright and very very comfortable with a fantastic kitchen, large bathrooms and the ceiling in the living room is just an absolute marvel. The views of vineyards below, the alps ahead are so unreal you had to pinch yourself once a day. We went to nearby markets and towns, wineries and restaurants everyday! We never wanted to leave this little slice of paradise.”

“I have rented villas in many parts of Italy, but Villa Ribota has been the best experience of them all. Not only is the property beautiful and located in an ideal setting for exploring the Barolo region, the hosts are the most helpful of any property I’ve rented in Itay. A perfect experience in every way..”

“I have been celebrating my 60th birthday at the house together with my husband, our daughters and their families. Our age are between 1 to 65 years and it all worked out so well! It was a faboulous week! The area, the house, the food, the wine and even the wheater were great! Richard and Allegra took good care of us, booked good restaurants and nice vineyards! The house was beautiful and well equipped. It was just better then best!“
