Villa d'Amelia Gastronomic Restaurant
Business Hours
Closing Day
Holidays
Derived from the careful renovation of the nineteenth-century Cascina Bonelli, Relais Villa d’Amelia looks like an old farmhouse that encloses an elegant Gastronomic Restaurant.
In the restoration, the original features were maintained, thus contributing to the atmosphere of yesteryear: the family’s private church is still present inside.
The Relais is a special place, chosen for a relaxing stay and to celebrate in style, but it can also be booked in its entirety for receptions, private parties or corporate meetings.
A pitcher of water as a symbol of hospitality
The name of the farmstead is dedicated to Madama Amelia Bonelli, a character endowed with great personality and hospitality: it seems that a large pitcher of water was never missing at the entrance for the refreshment of all who entered.
This custom has come down to the present day: today as then, Amelia water is always available to guests at the entrance of the facility and serves to perpetuate the ritual, symbolizing the sacredness of the guest.
During the winter season, covered access to the heated pool provides the thrill of an atmospheric bathing experience in the open air
An enchanting place to celebrate a family reunion, a wedding anniversary, a graduation party or a baby shower
Elegant, warm interior design and landscaped gardens create the cosy atmosphere of a private home
The Restaurant
On fine days it is possible to sit outside while enjoying a spectacular view of the hills
The restaurant called upon to guard and represent the Relais’ gastronomic offerings is DaMà, whose name is dedicated to Madama Amelia Bonelli.
In the kitchen Chef Guido Giovanni Peradotto.
The warm and welcoming room is lit by large windows overlooking the lush gardens and surrounding hills.
The gastronomic proposal
Local ingredients and genuine products are the protagonists of Alta Langa and are sought among local shepherds, farmers and small ranchers: these two pillars form the basis of the chef’s cuisine, which is complemented by a focus on pasta drawn with carefully chosen local flours.
A combination of tradition and innovation where alongside Italian cuisine, we find some aspects shared with French cuisine: sauces and cooking grounds that enhance and flavor, making the most of the flavors of the raw materials.
Menus
At Restaurant Damà, you can choose à la carte dishes or from two types of menus: the traditional menu inspired by local flavours and the tasting menu where it is the Chef’s inspiration to create new dishes chosen from the menu.
Breakfast
Villa d’Amelia revolutionized its breakfast concept, inspired by the latest international trends that is now completely a la carte.
The menu of different courses, sweet and savory, is the starting point for a day of relaxing, wholesome, quality food for a level-headed, even more relaxing and complete proposal.
Selected products include the best local meats and cheeses paired with different varieties of honey and jams from small local producers.
On fine days it is possible to sit outside on the terrace and have a good hot coffee while enjoying a spectacular view of the hills.

Created from the renovation of a 19th-century house, it offers 37 rooms and suites
The Relais encloses 37 rooms, 3 suites and 2 junior suites, furnished in a refined and contemporary style with elegant finishes.
Each of them, equipped with a travertine marble bathroom, offers every comfort.
The two Deluxe Suites with views of the Alps and the San Luigi Suite, carved out of the former aristocratic chapel, are the most prestigious accommodations.
Relaxation and privacy are guaranteed in the seven acres of parkland with panoramic views or in the elegant beamed bar and lounge, furnished with oriental rugs and grand piano.
The wellness area
The basement houses the wellness area, consisting of a Finnish sauna, Turkish bath, aroma paths and experience showers, mini-pool with whirlpool, relaxation room, fitness area and heated outdoor pool that can also be used during the cold season.
To complete the wellness journey, you can be pampered with a facial-body, single or couples massage.
The roof was created in wood with the recovery of ancient matchboarding beams.
A radical intervention in the building’s load-bearing masonry allowed the recovery of vaulted horizons and wooden structures of particular historical value.

The cuisine of Chef Guido Giovanni Peradotto
The DaMà restaurant bases its philosophy on sustainability and genuine products
The Chef of the DaMà restaurant is Guido Giovanni Peradotto.
Born in 1984, Chef Peradotto has developed important experience in some of Piedmont’s leading gastronomic realities, with a decisive start under Chef Alessandro Boglione at the Castello di Grinzane Cavour.
His cuisine at Relais Villa d’Amelia, in the DaMà Restaurant, is innovative, with Asian influences, especially Japan and India, and strong roots in tradition.
Tradition is explored in depth, with the use of ancient recipe books, some even printed in the Piedmontese language only.
Special attention is also paid to applying a mix of approaches to raw materials that are not always so present on the tables of the restaurants of the Langhe.
Discovering the area among art, food and wine, and landscapes
The cooking classes organised by the Relais Villa d’Amelia are the perfect opportunity to discover recipes, delicacies and curiosities of the region as well as traditional Italian dishes
A place where you can find cheese, hazelnuts, nature, castles, authentic villages like those of yesteryear, ideal for hiking, cycling or horseback riding
