My friends and family just stayed at da Felicin hotel (again) in November. It is absolutely heaven. Set in the midst of the vineyards of Monforte d'Alba in the Barolo region in the north of Italy, Felicin's "Residence" suites (there's also the main inn) are cozy, modern, beautiful and have views of the hillsides and cobblestoned village streets. But it's... More

On my Lange trips, I have been eating and staying here for over 21 years. It continues to get better. Giorgio and his beautiful wife handed over the reins to Nino and his beautiful wife some years ago and the quality has remained excellent. From the wonderful pastas made fresh every morning to the Piemontese meats, all of the food... More

The hotel is stale, it has grown too big the staff is tired and uncaring. An old man told us how and when to drink our coffee. Food service was only attentive to those buying expensive wine, the staff were arrogant and rude. Jacuzzi was drained and the pool was slimy, doors and windows barely opened. The views from the...

Nice rooms above the restaurant plus the Residence, 8 minutes walk the other side of the main square. We felt we should have known that the pool was seperate to the main building (it was also freezing cold). Generally very comfortable, we felt it would have been nicer with a lounge/bar area where you could get a drink in the... More

We had a memorable stay, memorable food and service. The service at the restaurant was excellent, so was the food and the wine. We had two apartments with balconies overlooking the valley with the Alps covered in snow in the distance. The onwer couldn't be more friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. More

The Felicin "Residenza" is in a completely renovated building in the old part of Monforte about a 3-minute walk from the original restaurant/albergo building, which still has a few old-style rooms above the dining room. The rooms at the Residenza are simple and clean, with little kitchenettes and living rooms - like a small studio apartment. Ask for a room... More

delightful service, memorable food and an evening to remember. Highly recommended. More

This review refers only to the restaurant Da Felicin, where we ate in October 2010. While we liked the food, the service almost ruined the evening. It began with them being unable to "find" our reservation, despite the fact that we had even left our phone number. After a bit of discussion we were finally moved a table in the... More

As a professional wine and food writer and professional Italophile, I wholeheartedly recommend Felicin to anyone looking for a world-class, authentic wine and food experience in Piedmont. I've now dined there twice (the first time was in April 2008, most recently in March 2010, on both occasions in the company of wine and food professionals). During both seatings, the owner... More
