Locanda La Raia is an exclusive relais in the heart of the Gavi hills, in Piedmont. Once an ancient coach house, today it is a luxury boutique hotel immersed in a vast 180-hectare Biodynamic Agricultural Estate (Demeter certified), which includes vineyards, woods, and pastures. The Locanda embodies a hospitality project that combines sustainability, design, art, and fine dining, offering a peaceful and wellness retreat in harmony with nature.
The Relais offers approximately 12 accommodations, including rooms and suites, each unique. The design is an elegant mix of Piedmontese antiques from the 17th/19th centuries and contemporary designer furniture, with colors inspired by the surrounding nature. The accommodations are equipped with free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and offer panoramic views of the vineyards, woods, or gardens. Spacious apartments with equipped kitchens are also available for longer stays.
The gastronomic experience is refined and focused on biodynamic principles: the restaurant offers Piedmontese and Ligurian gourmet cuisine (a former MICHELIN Star) that uses zero-kilometer products from the estate's vegetable garden and farms. Breakfast is rich and genuine. Guests can enjoy Wine Tours and tastings of biodynamic Gavi DOCG and Barbera wines. The wellness area offers a complete SPA with a sauna, hammam (Turkish bath), and a Heated Pool (Indoor/Outdoor), in addition to body and facial treatments.
The Locanda is home to the Fondazione La Raia, dedicated to art and landscape, featuring several site-specific contemporary artworks scattered among the vineyards. The Estate is ideal for outdoor activities such as trekking, fitness trails, horse riding, and the rental of Mountain Bikes/E-Bikes. It is also close to several golf courses and offers a convenient shuttle service to the Serravalle Outlet.
