Villa Irene Langhe

Villa Irene Langhe is in Località Manzoni 30, Monforte d'Alba (CN), in the heart of the Langhe wine region of Piemonte, Italy. Monforte d'Alba is a hilltop village in the UNESCO World Heritage area of the Barolo vineyards, about 15 minutes by car from Alba and 45 minutes from Turin.

The closest airports are Turin Caselle (TRN, ~1h10 by car), Milan Malpensa (MXP, ~2h), Milan Linate (LIN, ~1h50), Genoa (GOA, ~1h30) and Nice Côte d'Azur (NCE, ~2h40). The villa is best reached by car; we can arrange private transfers on request.

Villa Irene Langhe offers three distinct stays inside a renovated 1950s schoolhouse: the School House (ground floor open-plan stay), the Panoramic Suite Red (terracotta suite with vineyards view) and the Panoramic Suite Green (botanical suite with vineyard views). Each unit can be booked independently or the entire villa can be rented exclusively.

The full villa comfortably hosts up to 10 guests across the three units: the School House sleeps up to 4, the Suite Red sleeps 4 and the Suite Green sleeps 2. Exclusive use is available for families and small groups.

No, Villa Irene Langhe does not have a swimming pool. We chose to preserve the architectural integrity of the renovated schoolhouse and the surrounding natural landscape. The villa instead offers a panoramic loggia, an outdoor stone stair and direct views over the Barolo vineyards.

The Langhe are beautiful year-round. Spring (April–June) brings green vineyards and mild weather; summer (July–August) is warm and ideal for long evenings outdoors; autumn (September–November) is the most iconic season, with the grape harvest, the white truffle of Alba and the golden vineyards; winter is quiet and atmospheric, perfect for cellar visits and slow stays.

Yes. Villa Irene Langhe is surrounded by some of the most renowned Barolo producers, including estates in Monforte d'Alba, Castiglione Falletto, Serralunga d'Alba, La Morra and Barolo village. We curate private wine tastings and cellar visits on request, tailored to your interests.

Within 30 minutes you can explore the Barolo wine villages, visit the WiMu wine museum in Barolo, taste white truffles in Alba (autumn), hike or cycle the vineyard trails, dine at Michelin-starred restaurants, and discover hazelnut groves, castles and medieval hamlets across the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato UNESCO sites.

One of the most authentic spots in the area: traditional Langhe cuisine, simple and genuine atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed dinner in the hills. • La Cantinetta (Barolo) — small family-run restaurant in the centre of Barolo, loved for its warm atmosphere and excellent wine list.
