Purpose
Sustainable elegance.
Located on 42 magnificent hectares of Piedmont countryside in Italy, Casa di Langa opened its doors in 2021 as a luxury hotel with sustainability as the guiding principle in its design. 2022 brought its first full year of operations. The site is inspired by traditional architecture and tucked within the rolling hills between the Barolo, Barbaresco and Alta Langa wine-making regions. Guests hike our lush forest paths, curl up with a book in our hazelnut grove, and explore our neighboring UNESCO World Heritage designated area, vineyard landscape of Piedmont Langhe-Roero and Monferrato. Casa di Langa won numerous awards in 2022 including Best Practices in Global Sale Operations PHG and National Geographic UK: Best gastronomic destination.

People First
Hiring and retaining the right leadership and Associates is critical to Casa di Langa’s success in ensuring all guests have an amazing experience. We are proud of our strong female led team with the majority of leadership positions held by women.
Experiences for guests include learning new skills at the traditionally minded cooking school, experiencing a wine tasting led by wine experts, or just relaxing with an all-natural treatment at Lelòse Spa & Wellness. In 2022, we welcomed a new chef and wine program manager.

Planet
In 2021, work was done to align energy, water, and waste calculations with Krause Group global CSR metrics. In 2022, Casa di Langa implemented its green menu initiative. 50% of the vegetables are grown on-site with 80% of our ingredients being locally sourced. 100% of our products are organic or hormone-free.
Ingrained in everything we do at Casa di Langa is a deep respect for our natural world and its sustainable future. We planted 50 additional trees in the forest portion of the property. We were able to make the necessary repairs to get our photovoltaic (PV) system operational and look forward to a full year of reporting on its output next year. In 2022, which was a partial year of operation, it generated 126,499 kWh which is 12.6% of energy usage. We have a commitment to achieve carbon neutrality. We are dedicated to creating a luxurious experience for both guests and our environment. In 2023, we also have goals to implement a new sustainability experience for our guests and create an organic composting area. In April 2022, Casa di Langa was accepted in the Beyond Green Program. To be accepted into the program, we had to meet sustainable tourism standards required by the program and will have to undergo an on-site evaluation every two years.
