Located in Bra and Pollenzo, the birthplace of the global Slow Food movement, Albergo dell'Agenzia is housed in the same complex as the esteemed and unique University of Gastronomic Sciences on the former royal estate of King Carlo Alberto of Savoy. The hotel boasts charming neo-Gothic buildings that have been lovingly restored to their former glory. Directly across from the hotel is the Torrione, a Roman tower that stands testament to the town’s glorious past.

Stay in one of the hotel's spacious rooms and suites, which have been named after the prestigious Barolo and Barbaresco wines of the region. All the rooms have been decorated with traditional and welcoming elements that evoke elegance, including terracotta floors and marble bathrooms, and feature complimentary WIFI, a flat screen TV, minibar and telephone.

At every meal you will be greeted with authentic, traditional food made with fresh and unadulterated ingredients, as well as protected fine food products of the renowned Slow Food Presidia. Tucked in the aged stone vaults of the property’s cellars lie the prestigious Wine Bank: 100,000 bottles of some of the world’s greatest wines, which will perfectly round off your dining experience.

When you’re not tucking into the most flavoursome food you’ve ever had, you can take a dip in the outdoor swimming pool, which is exclusively for guests during the summer months. You can also indulge in Slow Beauty at Albergo dell’Agenzia’s wellness centre, which includes a jacuzzi, sauna, Turkish bath and gym.
