General Description
The Palazzo Paleologi Resort is a historic 15th century residence located in Lu in the Monferrato area surrounded by charming countryside of hills and historic castles.
An attentive restoration was carried out with the collaboration of the Superintendent of Fine Arts of Turin. It managed to preserve the original lines and fascination of this period residence, and has made the rooms functional and welcoming.
Bioarchitecture standards have been applied where possible with the use of lime plaster, water paint, and unique treatments for the terracotta and parquet floors.
The natural materials, elegant period furnishings and modern facilities make each apartment ideal for a lovely holiday in Monferrato exploring the Langhe in the heart of Piedmont.
At Lu Monferrato, guests can enjoy the rhythms of country life uncontaminated by mass tourism while savouring local gastronomic delicacies and fine wines.
The services and facilities available include a buffet breakfast (upon request), extensive free parking, bicycles (with a reservation), and a restaurant (only at dinner, with a reservation).
Guests can take advantage of special rates with the wellness centre, horseback riding centre, golf club, beach on the Ligurian Riviera, and wine cellars to enjoy a tasting.
Numerous occasions are also available to sample typical products of Piedmont at town festivals (Alba tartufo, Santa Caterina Agnolotti and Castiglione D’Asti peppers).
Information and details about visits and services in the surrounding area are available in the apartments.
Pets are welcome.
We request a one-time payment of 20€ for the entire stay.
