Around a 15-minute drive south of Asti, surrounded by vineyards and rolling hills, Villa Pattono is a painstakingly restored 18th-century country mansion with frescoed ceilings, dark wood floors and marble bathrooms. There are just nine plush rooms located in the main house, a couple more in the annexed farm buildings and a magnificent three-floor suite in a neo-medieval tower.
The hotel is part of the Renatto Ratto winery, where guided tastings and visits to the cellar can be arranged on request.
