In South Piedmont, among Gavi’s hills, Locanda La Raia

Second appointment with the column Eating and sleeping in the vineyards. We move to Piedmont, in Gavi, to know the hospitality world around the biodynamic winery La Raia.

Locanda La Raia, the large green house on the Gavi hills, is surrounded by the vineyards, pastures, lakes, and woods of the biodynamic farm La Raia. A vast and unique ecosystem populated by an infinity of different animals and plants.

For those who love outdoor sports, the estate hosts a fitness trail and a tennis court. Once through the gate, the roads travelled by the cycling champions of all times unfold while, a few kilometers from the estate, there are three famous golf courses.

Once a post office for travelers, Locanda la Raia is a boutique hotel with two apartments and ten rooms, each one different from the other. Furnished with antique Piedmonts furniture combined with elements of contemporary design, it is surrounded by a garden of aromatic herbs that slopes down towards the indoor and outdoor swimming pool and the SPA. 

The restaurant is entrusted to the starred chef Tommaso Arrigoni, who for his dishes selects the ingredients of the agricultural estate and the Slow Food presidia of the area. 

All around the Locanda there are paths that lead to the works of art of the La Raia Foundation and to the cellar, where you can taste biodynamic Gavi wine and organic honeys.
