Nestled in the breathtaking Lombardy region of Italy, L’Albereta Relais & Châteaux has been a home away from home for travellers for three decades. Founded by Carmen Moretti de Rosa and her father Vittorio, this charming destination is situated in the Franciacorta area, just a stone’s throw away from Milan and Lake Iseo.
With its ivy-covered villa, lush gardens adorned with contemporary art sculptures, and renowned wineries, L’Albereta offers a unique blend of high-end cuisine, advanced spa treatments, and a cozy environment where every room is furnished differently. This unconventional approach to luxury has garnered the admiration of both locals and a loyal Milanese crowd, drawing them away from the more touristy hot spots.
Carmen Moretti de Rosa’s vision for the property has been to create a safe space where guests can experience rest and relaxation, much like they would in their own homes. The property has evolved to meet the changing demands of hospitality over the years, scaling back the number of rooms during the pandemic to create spacious suites, and introducing a special “cabriolet” suite that allows guests to sleep under the stars.
Despite the challenges posed by a shortage of workers in the industry, L’Albereta has persevered and recently celebrated its 30th anniversary with a series of events and the launch of a signature home scent called “Buenaonda.”
L’Albereta has also played host to some of the best Italian chefs, thanks to partnerships with legendary figures like Gualtiero Marchesi and Henri Chenot. The property now boasts four gourmet restaurants and a chic lounge area, offering guests an unparalleled culinary experience, including award-winning pizzas and a variety of local wines.
The Espace Chenot Health and Wellness Spa, housed within L’Albereta, has further elevated the property’s allure, offering bespoke wellness programs and an array of holistic treatments. This commitment to well-being has resonated with both local and international guests, contributing to the growing interest in healthier and greener lifestyles.
Looking ahead, Carmen Moretti de Rosa has her sights set on expanding her hospitality concept to new locations, including a potential venture in the heart of New York City. Her ultimate goal is to pass down her wealth of knowledge by establishing a hospitality training academy in Italy, recognizing the complexity of the industry and the importance of making guests feel truly at home.
L’Albereta Relais & Châteaux stands as a testament to Carmen Moretti de Rosa’s unwavering commitment to offering an unparalleled experience, setting the bar for luxury hospitality in the heart of Lombardy.
