Casa di Langa, Cerretto Langhe

The hotel’s open spaces are strategically differentiated to offer diverse experiences: from the art garden and spa to the outdoor tavern with a fireplace and from the terraced gardens and bocce area to the orchard and vegetable garden. Each space is distinct in its function and aesthetic, designed to enrich the guest’s experience. Elevated terraces and a swimming pool area offer panoramic views, enhancing the immersive experience of the Langhe countryside.

The objective of our landscape project is to describe the area’s peculiarities, highlight its processes, and invite hotel guests to explore these more deeply. It is structured with a gradient of naturalness, starting from the central space of the building and fading outwards towards the agricultural parts, with more rustic interventions. The species and colours used are those of the typical Langa landscape.

The hotel’s open space system is divided into different areas, each one different in terms of function, spatial, and material characteristics. The project outlines a complex external arrangement intervention aimed at creating a private garden that offers diversified opportunities, from open-air tasting to bowls, from the aromatic garden to the orchard. Also, it constitutes the area of access and connection with all the widespread activities, hosting different functions.

In particular, the central staircase is the heart of the whole system, acting as a link between the various external flows towards the areas of interest. The design of this space is, on the one hand, architecturally very rigorous, and on the other hand, the vegetation composed of herbaceous plants is very varied and creates a contrast of colours and volumes. The theme of tumbled stone paving, a characteristic motif of all the open spaces, continues here from the first to the last steps, alternating with the large slabs that characterise the stairways.
