Rocca di Arignano

I waited to gather my thoughts on this. I too am an Innkeeper and wanted to be fair. I communicated all my concerns but the property was very rigid and not willing to compromise to make me happy. I reserved based on reviews of which there were only 4. This should have been a warning. The property is a very beautiful restored castle. The room was exceptional, clean and very unique. We booked a few hours before arrival, looking for a great place with a SPA. There were pictures of a spa. We are frequent travelers in Italy and when rain came we adjusted our bookings. When we arrived we found that the property is VERY REMOTE. That’s fine for a DESTINATION stay. We always get a car for flexibility and exploration. You will NOT be able to dine out,enjoy wine because the nearest restaurant/villiage is 20 minutes away. There is a wonderful restaurant on site, expensive but lovely, but that will be your only option. Once we realized there was no spa, only an on call masseuse, no other dining options, I requested an early checkout. That would have made me happy. The property refused to refund for our second night. This was a reservation made hours before arrival and the room would have otherwise been empty. I think this is a very cool place for a destination or a function. Clearly they are not interested in generating great reviews from people to want to experience the castle then move on. No compromise despite a fair request with concerns spelled out. I would not return.

Wonderful stay at this magical castle - staff were very helpful, amazing location and views from the rooms and roof, delicious breakfast was made and laid out freshly for us, Comfy bed and pillows and the included mineral water and nespresso in the room were appreciated - we were made to feel like royalty.

My wife found this wonderful Hotel while searching Trip Advisor for 3-days in Piemonte. Situated about 30 minutes away from Torino, you are anywhere between 30 min to an hour from Piemonte wine spots like Barolo, La Morra, etc. It’s a castle! Rocca di Arignano is a small castle with a medieval look inside and out. It also has everything a modern hotel has as well. My family and I loved our stay. We had an amazing room/loft on the 5th floor or basically the top of the castle. Beautiful views of the Piemonte countryside. We also had our very own rooftop terrace! Ample air conditioning on the lower floor of the room but it was a little warm on the 2nd floor. We also just enjoyed exploring the castle! Beautifully decorated! Breakfast each morning was simple but very good with friendly service. Co-owner Elsa was very helpful recommending some lunch places in the nearby towns. The hotel also features a restaurant but was not open during our stay. Our family all enjoyed our stay, from the views, to the amenities, the beautiful decor inside, it was a wonderful stay.
