L’Albereta is an all-Italian resort that quickly became an icon of beauty. Located in the heart of Franciacorta, in Erbusco, it welcomes guests within the lush greenery of a wonderful park dotted with contemporary art sculptures. A stay here is designed to be a unique and unforgettable experience, as the art of hospitality is considered the ability to guarantee utmost well-being and sublime sensory gratification via the enhancement of local surroundings. Founded in 1993 with the aim of expressing the most authentic and refined character of Franciacorta, a terroir that produces fine wines, the residence is part of the Relais & Chateaux chain, the exclusive group of charming hotels and gourmet restaurants whose history is characterized by great innovations and deep-rooted connections to the noblest traditions of the hotel and catering sector. L’Albereta interprets this link between past and present with impassioned dedication every day, adding unique features inspired by the lifestyle of its owners.

WHILE YOU CANNOT CHOOSE WHERE YOU ARE BORN, AT LEAST CHOOSE WHERE TO BE REBORN

L’Albereta is surrounded by ancient trees, as its name suggests (albero: tree). Nestled on the hill called Bellavista, it enjoys an extraordinary position overlooking the vineyards of Franciacorta and Lake Iseo. It is a refined residence characterized by good taste, featuring ancient loggias, terraces with views, small secret nooks and crannies, and sweeping panoramas outlined by an ancient vineyard, Vigna Leone, which yields a sublimely harmonious 100% Chardonnay.

Starting with the first coffee in the morning through to the last glass of wine in the evening, L’Albereta accompanies guests on a treat-for-your-taste-buds trip through its restaurants and lounge bar. The LEONEFELICE VISTA LAGO offers deliciously masterful local dishes served in a welcoming and elegant environment. Its terrace affords spectacular views of Lake Iseo and the island of Montisola. The Benessere restaurant, reserved for guests of the Espace Chenot Health Wellness Spa, offers a healthier alternative to guests looking for the right compromise between balance and flavour. La Filiale extends L’Albereta’s food and wine options with a menu entirely dedicated to Franco Pepe’s signature pizzas, in a young and informal environment. Stanza 54 welcomes guests at any time of the day, from breakfast through to pre-dinner drinks, offering excellent dishes accompanied by selected wines and an extraordinary view of Lake Iseo and the Franciacorta vineyards.

The 57 rooms are a haven of peace and tranquillity overlooking lush greenery. Each room is thoughtfully furnished and has its own unique style. Some have an added touch of magic, such as the room with the sliding roof that ‘invites the sky into the room’ or the Torre Bellavista suite, with its privileged view of the vineyard and the tree tops. All the rooms bear the elegant and welcoming hallmark that Carmen Moretti loves to bring to every aspect of the resort.

 An entire building of L’Albereta resort, designed by architect Ettore Mocchetti, is dedicated to the quest for absolute well-being according to a carefully designed method that balances the energies of mind and body: the Espace Chenot Health Wellness Spa is the only Spa in Italy built according to the Chenot method. A world in itself, it extends over an area of 2,000 square metres and has a reserved green area and a team of thirty qualified professionals who offer highly personalised, state-of-the-art treatments. Everything is run with great professionalism and extra attention to the principles of natural medicine – according to the Biontology of Henri Chenot – and to the harmony of shapes and colours where these are not only surface objects but also generators of energy.

Since receiving its first guest on 23rd September 1993, L’Albereta has been warmly welcoming, elegant and always unique in its position at the centre of the winemaking district, enhancing its history and traditions. It is committed to rewriting the history of Franciacorta via the talent and creativity of a style of hospitality entrusted to professionals inspired by the spirit of the places and the passion of a family with ancient roots in this area.
