La Morra is a picturesque medieval hilltop town overlooking a patchwork of the Langhe region’s verdant fields and vines. Stay here, and you’re only 50kms from Turin, and 15kms from Alba, in the heart of truffle and hazelnut country, as well as within striking distance of the sparkling wines of Asti, and the big reds of Barolo. So the best places to stay in La Morra are certainly going to appeal to foodies and oenophiles! Our pick of the best places to stay in La Morra includes a couple of country escapes with views of the Barolo hills and restaurants offering cooking classes; a chic B&B with a pool; and a small, and very stylish, contemporary hotel.
The centre of La Morra is small but picturesque, with three impressive churches and another three beautiful chapels offering up a glorious array of marble, gilt, statuary, murals and frescoes. The town also has a bell tower visitors are able to climb — another good spot for appreciating the views. And of course there are numerous cafes, bars and restaurants, and a couple of wine shops where you can do tastings of the local Barolo, Barbarescos, Nebbiolos and Barberas. There are plenty of vineyards with cellar doors, or where you an arrange a tour or tastings, and two of our favourite hotels also offer tastings and tours.
