The albergo serves a rich buffet breakfast with a choice of sweet and savoury products. Water, tea and coffee are free at the bar during the day. Alba is a convenient location to visit the nearby areas where Barolo and Barbaresco wines are produced. The town is also famous for the yearly International Truffle Fair.
