Most amazing meals! Great value! The hair dryer and electric outlets were not great but we managed. Staff is so friendly and accommodating. Very clean considering it's age. The wine list is out of this world. Top notch Chef Carlo wears tons of hats with total elegance. He is a fantastic sommelier, host, chef, bell hop, concierge etc etc. Such fabulous personal service. It was a real treat!

the owners of the property could not do enough and were must charming. Carlo and Paola work so terribly hard but always ready to talk and smile with the guests. It is very much a family hotel with the gentle Nonna always about to help if she can.
But to the main reason this hotel was chosen was because of Carlo's wonderful cooking. Cannot recommend it highly enough!

A culinary gem!
Posted 24 Jul 2021 on HotelsWhat a find! We are on a roadtrip and booked this last minute. Cortemilia is a small town and we didn't expect much besides getting a good night sleep. Then it turns out that San Carlo is owned and run by an Italian Top Chef who has cooked for Sophia Loren, Michelle Obama among others. If you stay there you absolutely must get dinner. It is a 6 course menu (changing daily) with a Michelin star level service and quality. You eat in a beautiful garden a delicious food, drink delicious wine and you forget about the world.
The hotel itself is bit old school but very comfortable and clean. The pool in the garden is fabulous for an afternoon dip. The owners Carlo and Paola are extremely nice and helpful. All in all, I recommend this place 120%

Rave review for Hotel San Carlo
Posted 30 Aug 2019 on HotelsWe had a wonderful stay at San Carlo. It is a family run hotel with comfortable accommodations, a lovely garden and swimming pool and positively fabulous food. While some may be disappointed if they are looking for a Four Seasons experience, we tend to go for smaller inns and hotels and this was top notch for that. It is comfortably located in the Piedmonte area, filled with vineyards, wineries and hazelnut fields. It is a quick train trip to Turin, a lovely historic city. Carlo, the owner and chef, prepared memorable meals - such a special treat.

Thank you so much Barbara for your wonderful review.
That's exactly the message we would like our guest take into consideration when reserving a room at Villa San Carlo: a comfortable family run hotel, fully italian style and "fabulous food" (just to use your words!!!! - double thank you).
No luxory establishment but authentic realistic uniique experience.
Thank you again and hope to welcome you soon to Villa San Carlo.

A jewel in the middle of Liguria. Great hotel, amazing food and wonderful owners. Worth the extra kilometres and narrow roads getting there.

Amazing hotel !
Posted 2 Oct 2018 on HotelsThis is probably one of the best hotels we stayed at. From the moment we arrived everything was beyond perfect .. They made us feel special in a very familiar and friendly way. The room and hotel were cozy and elegant at the same time. The breakfast was amazing and the food at the dinner restaurant couldn’t be better !

One night in Italy on our way to the Mediterranean
Posted 15 Jul 2013 on HotelsWe happened across this hotel on line the morning of our stay and we made a reservation. We were pleasantly surprised! It was lovely and the meal we enjoyed in the 5 star restaurant was fantastic! The hef personally attended the tables to explain the courses and after desert was served he sat down at the piano and played. It was lovely! The room was very comfortable, breakfast was very good and the pool was an added bonus! The hotel atmosphere was nice. I would have liked the wifi to be available in the room rather than the lobby however that would not keep me from returning.
