We only spent one night, but enjoyed I Grappoli thoroughly. The apartment was great, and so were the balcony views. On arrival at I Grappoli we called them (they only speak Itslian), and then drove 300 meters down the hill to the end and turned left into their driveway. That's where you do check-in and check-out, and also where you can enjoy wine tasting - and buying whatever you liked best. And I must mention the fabulous breakfast the next morning up at I Grappoli, overlooking the hillside, with Serralunga d'Alba across the at. Great coffee, great home cooked food, and great company! They keep speaking happily in Italian, figuring that some of it is getting through, and it actually was!
