Cascina Galarej - Hotel & Spa

In the beating heart of the Langhe, where rolling hills and neatly aligned vineyards tell ancient stories, lies Cascina Galarej: an exclusive and charming retreat nestled within the poetic landscape of the Villaggio Narrante at Fontanafredda

In this dialogue between architecture, landscape and the senses—designed by the teams at ACC Naturale Architettura and Plac—light plays a pivotal role. Once a 19th-century farmhouse, today it is a refined wine resort that harmoniously blends nature, historical memory, and contemporary design. Overlooking organically cultivated vineyards and with a view that stretches as far as the castle of Grinzane Cavour, Cascina Galarej offers an intimate and rejuvenating experience. A spa carved out of the old hayloft, signature furnishings, holistic well-being and exceptional cuisine coexist in architectural harmony, respecting the past while embracing the future.

Platek designed the outdoor lighting solutions, enhancing the site’s magic without disturbing its natural balance. The Chiodo bollard light guides visitors along paths and through lush vegetation; Team, with its discreet step lighting, is embedded into the old brickwork, elegantly accompanying every step. Mini Corniche highlights architectural details with clean, precise light cuts, adding depth to surfaces. Frog, compact yet powerful, emphasizes natural and architectural elements, revealing new perspectives of the landscape at dusk. Finally, Eterea, with its soft and airy glow, gently illuminates facades, entrances, and relaxation areas, contributing to a warm and welcoming atmosphere. With an integrated and thoughtful approach, Platek has turned light into a language, enhancing the guest experience and extending the enchantment of the place well beyond daylight hours.
