Abbazia di Santa Maria di Vezzolano

It’s an old and quiet basic property for 4 stars hotel. The breakfast was ok, but didn’t have much variety.

The staff were very courteous and friendly, and the location of the hotel is very convenient within walking distance of the centre of Turin and all of the public transport network.The room was clean and spacious, and the breakfast had a varied choice of continental/cereals/ tea/ coffee /fruit juice, and served in a very elegant dining room. The hotel features many historical and attractive architectural rooms and furnishings.

From the moment we arrived the staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. We arrived late but the receptionist took time to show local sites and amenities on the map and recommended things to do. The room was clean and large, the bed comfy and there was a little balcony for a morning coffee or after dinner drink. Breakfast was good and pretty reasonable - a few days we skipped it to explore local options instead. The hotel has a pleasant outdoor terrace where you can take breakfast, chill in the afternoon or have pre-dinner drinks. A shame it closed at 8pm along with the bar but there are no plenty of local spots for a later drink, including down by the river and in one of the several buzzing squares. All in all a great base for exploring Turin, the historic sites in the area, and day trips to other towns/cities. We made the most of fast train to Milan and had a great day.
