If Alba strikes your fancy, consider a night at this reasonably priced belle epoque-style B&B, on a hill overlooking the historic center and surrounded by Dolcetto and Nebbiolo grapevines. Pros: Friendly, family atmosphere; in a secluded setting convenient for exploring the Langhe. Cons: Long walk to nearest restaurants, no a/c in some rooms.
