Le Serre - Suites & Apartments
Strada Revigliasco 25
Moncalieri, Italy
Style: Contemporary Classic
Atmosphere: Quiet
15 Rooms
To say that the culture of the north of Italy is the cool-headed yin to the south’s hyper-dramatic yang would be to indulge in stereotyping of the broadest and most insensitive sort. But we’re going to say it anyway. Where else but the north (Moncalieri to be exact, an ancient resort town a few miles south of Turin, in the rolling hills of the Piedmont countryside) could you find a contemporary country boutique as subtle and quietly charming as the Country Residence Le Serre?
It must have been tempting to reconstruct this old house in a 19th-century style (or 12th-century, for that matter, to match the town’s famous old castle) and leave it dripping with antiques like some kind of museum or theme park — one need only look to the faux-antique farmhouses of picture-book Tuscany for inspiration. Or if you’re going to go modern, why not fly in Zaha Hadid and set the whole architectural world on fire?
But no. Le Serre’s proprietors took the almost-unthinkable third way, outfitting these fifteen suites in a conservative yet obviously contemporary style, keeping the original lines and timbered ceilings of the old house and filling it with new furnishings and modern fixtures. The colors are classic, but bold, the brick reds and olive greens a welcome change from the sponge-painted pre-faded pastels you might expect. Modern amenities like satellite television and wireless internet cheerfully shatter any 19th-century illusions — today’s Piedmont is as appealing as that of the 19th century, but with better bathrooms.
