The palace was built in the eighteenth century, a fantastically ambitious project conceived by local nobleman Carlo Giacinto Roero.
He commissioned the building of this splendid new residence to his own personal taste, surrounded it with gardens and oversaw the furnishing work on what was to be a sumptuously decorated interior.
Roero had both the ability and the financial means to see this project through. An accomplished – albeit amateur – architect, he was also a high-profile aristocrat and a landowner of considerable wealth.
Today, the palace continues to make people’s dreams come true. Preserved as it was in its heyday, with all its works of art intact, it is now also home to a top-class hotel.
An essential stopping point in any itinerary of the Baroque highlights of Piedmont, it stands out among the very best places to stay in the region.
Sumptuously furnished antique-style bedrooms, haute cuisine, fine wines and the latest modern technology combine with historical heritage to offer the visitor a truly unique experience.
Guests are luxuriously accommodated in eight large bedrooms on the third floor, named after prominent figures in the history of the palace. Another four bedrooms are located on the ground floor.
The bedroom ensembles have been converted in keeping with the original floorplan and fresco decoration, and each one has an en-suite bathroom finely decorated in marble.
The walls are decorated in the aristocratic tradition with silk or silk velvet tapestries, mounted on felt-lined frames.
The furnishings are entirely in period style – most are original, dating back to when the palace was built, and some are from collections belonging to the new owners, Artusio and Gallo.
Guests are therefore immersed in the same aristocratic ambience as Carlo Giacinto himself intended, but also enjoy the latest in modern comfort and convenience.
Each bedroom is equipped with the latest appliances, a LED television, safe, minibar and wireless internet.
200 sqm Suite with antique Chinese tapestries; the view includes both gardens, the Langhe and the Alps.
Even the floors are original as well as the long frescoed hallway.
The Luxury Suite is more than a bedroom: it is an experience.
It is also the only room that overlooks both the Labyrinth Garden and the Italian Garden.
90 sqm rooms on the third floor; depending on the case the view spans between the gardens, the Roero and the Langhe.
Spacious room, canopy beds, wooden floors, and three windows make these rooms absolutely exclusive.
The floor is terracotta, the walls are silk and silk velvet.
The view is unique: one of the rooms is right above the central door, the other overlooks the Labyrinth Garden.
80 sqm Suite on the first or third floor, with a wide view of the Langhe, the Roero and the Alps.
The measurements are original, some walls are frescoed, others are covered in silk and silk velvet.
The double exposure allows you to see both the Langhe on the right and the Roero and the Alps on the left.
60 sqm rooms on the first or third floor; depending on the case, the view spans between the gardens, Roero or Langhe hills and the Alps.
They are the access rooms to the Castle’s most historic environments.
Some are wooden floors while others are in terracotta.
Castle Room, 60m2, with private terrace looking out onto the Roero heights and towards the distant Alps.
The rooms have terracotta floors, a large bathroom and frescoed walls. These are suitable for two people.
The Classic rooms are located on the ground floor with an aristocratic ambience.
They offer views over the hills of Roero and the mountain chain of the Alps.
The age-old gastronomic tradition of Roero and the Langhe is a natural point of reference for the cuisine created here at Castello di Guarene, as well as the use of carefully selected natural ingredients and sheer creativity.
Every dish, even if it belongs to the most traditional canon of Piedmontese cuisine, is intriguingly different, and is served with true panache.
The restaurant dining hall is a fitting compliment to the fine cuisine – the ceiling is divided into nine sail vaults in fine brickwork, supported by high pillars.
On the walls are original paintings of landscapes, flowers and prominent figures from the Houses of Savoy and Roero.
Last but certainly not least, the cellar can boast the entire range of Piedmont’s finest wines – including the very rarest vintages, and also stocks various examples of the best quality wines from renowned Italian winemakers.

In the 18th century a new summer residence was designed and built here for the Counts of Roero by Count Carlo Giacinto.
The palace is an impressive three-storey edifice, reaching 25 metres in height and surrounded by extensive and elegant gardens landscaped in the Italian style in the first half of the eighteenth century.
It commands an unequalled panorama of the whole chain of the Langhe hills from Monferrato to Verduno.

In the other direction, it looks out onto the Roero heights and towards the distant Alps.
