This might sound like a bit of an advertisement but we realy liked the B&B we stayed at in Serralunga d'Alba. It is called l'Antico Asilo and it is located on the perimiter of the town. The B&B is run by Elena, a young lady that lives near by. The street is quiet and lined with trees and flowers. The view just outside the B&B lookes over the Langhe hillside while the rooms look into a nice garden/courtyard. The guest rooms are a nice size and have a sitting area in loft above that looks down into the room. So it is much more spacious then most B&Bs. The decorations in rooms are nicely done with matching bedding and chair covers. The reception is large for a B&B and very ornate. The the breakfast room is cozzy with has about four tables. Breakfast includes fresh baked goods that Elena makes herself along with a great selection of local cheeses. Of course there were the usual choices of cereal, breads, yogurt, etc...
It was a very nice place to base our short tour from.
There are a few restaurants within easy walking distance. One, Cascina Schiavenza, is very good and is associated with a very good winery. It features traditional Piemontese dishes. As is typical here, there is a menu of the day that provides a multi-course meal that includes a sampling of appetizers, a pasta dish, a main course, and dessert for a fixed price.
