Property details

Stay in palatial splendour at a Piedmont hotel renowned for its food and fine wines - includes breakfast, Wine Bank access, spa and dining discounts, and more
  • La dolce vita: The Piedmont region of Italy is the birthplace of the slow food ethos, specifically the town of Pollenzo. Upholding ancient farming techniques, Albergo dell’Agenzia is a proud exponent of this philosophy. It occupies the King of Savoy’s former palace - a sprawling dusky pink affair grouped around grassy courtyards.

  • Italian opulence: Interiors have been meticulously restored to their former glory and as well as housing elegant guestrooms, a fine slow food restaurant serving exquisite Piedmontese dishes, a bar and a spa, the hotel is also home to the University of Gastronomic Sciences and the Wine Bank. The latter is a huge museum that’s a veritable wine lover’s paradise, with impressive, vaulted cellars.

  • Peace and tranquillity: Silence is definitely golden in the tranquil surrounding grounds, where you can stroll accompanied with nothing but the sound of birdsong and the wind rustling through the trees. For more pampering, take a dip in the enticing outdoor pool, or bask in the inner retreat of the spa, at this Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice awardee.

How to get there

The hotel is located between Alba and Bra in the west of Italy, not far from the French border. Turin Airport is roughly an hour and 15 minutes away. We highly recommend that you hire a car, to make exploring this beautiful region a breeze.
