Nice luxury hotel, attentive staff, fantastic food. I did not like to see people hanging around in bath robes at breakfast or lunch, I know it is a resort/SPA but it is really not necessary to avoid the basic effort of getting dressed. La Rei restaurant is superb.

Fabulous hotel and location,but food disappointing
Amazing location and fabulous room. Spa facilities excellent although gym equipment limited. Helpful staff in every area of the hotel. Had a bar meal and breakfast which was a let down. Bar meal 3 star standard for taste and presentation. Breakfast very basic with limited range and stewed filter coffee. Another guest complained about coffee and fresh was made immediately - very little hot choices for breakfast and these were not hot enough. Would book again despite this - need to lose a few pounds anyway!

Nice hotel with stunning views
Good quality hotel with stunning views. Staff very helpful and friendly. Food also very good. Good spa offering a wide range of treatments. On the negative, not that child suitable as it has more of a "spa" ambience but staff very friendly towards children and they were allowed in the spa pool and jacuzzi. Also bedroom had a lighting system which you needed an degree in electronics to operate! As a consequence our room at night was lit-up like Blackpool promenade.

Priceless Views, Beautiful Pool
The views of Serralunga from Il Boscareto are breathtaking. The pools are absolutely gorgeous. Taking a dip in their whirlpool upon arrival was one of the highlights of staying here. The rooms are big and the bathrooms are beautiful. They have great products to use for shampoo and conditioner and the rooms are very big which was great. The cleaning staff do a great job. Another highlight of my stay here was taking a hike to Sinio from the hotel. I walked down through a road that ran through the vineyard leading down to Sinio and then hiked back up a leg of the Langhe hiking trail that lead me back to the road to the hotel. The scenery around Serralunga is a reason that I came to the Langhe it is incredible. I think there are probably other hikes and bike rides that you can take through the area. The servers in the bar and downstairs restaurant seem very slow and unattentive considering this is a luxury resort. I just think they need to be trained a little better but they were very nice. The breakfast was huge and plentiful and when I ordered room service they bring you tons of food. The lighting in the room was a bit awkard and confusing to deal with and so was the television. I could not figure out how to get English language stations and I just didn't want to deal with the hassle of going through the hotel staff. This is a luxury hotel but it somehow just misses the mark on service.

Lovely stay in Alba region
We are travelling through Italy and came to the Barolo wine region. Boscaretto was a beautiful and well-appointed resort, well located for travel within the region. Nice setting, beautiful scenery. The food services could have been much better for this level of resort however.
