Re Vittorio

B&B Re Vitorio is in a beautiful, old building in central Turin, close to both Porta Nuova and Porta Susa stations. The rooms are modernised and extremely quiet, with a brilliant memory foam mattress on the bed, extra bedding, plenty of toiletries in the bathroom, and all spotlessly clean. Alberto is a fantastic host - so kind and welcoming and helpful - and the breakfast is absolutely outstanding: fresh coffee, pastries with cream, handmade tarts, so many kinds of tea, milk and juice. Truly, he I have never had a better B&B breakfast!!! And we were given snacks and drinks for our onward journey. What spectacular hospitality. Thank you to Alberto and colleagues for an amazing stay. I highly recommend Re Vittorio to any visitor to Turin.

Despite the "spose" aesthetics and the proximity to the re vittorio boulevard the edifice has remarkable advantages and character: 1. You stay in a historic apar**ent block in the city. No reception, lounges and communal spaces if that is what you are after. 2.Rooms, that is 3 with a common kitchen, the latter well equipped and run by the owner-manager with the impeccable breakfast service, included in the price. 3. Each room is large spacious and with a salonette component. The bahtroom is functional and the shower cubicle exceptional in strentgh and variety of shower effect. 4. The owner manager is and exceptional numismatist of the italian coins, a smiling personality and of obliging character and flair. 5. We reached this abode by recommendation of local friends du to the vicinity of their residence. We spent three nights.

Top place. Middle of the city. Outstanding in every respect.

It was my first time in Torino. We arrived by train at the Porta Nova station. We were here for the weekend. With a small luggage on wheels it took us only a 10 minutes walk to the B&B. Alberto, our host, was very friendly and gave us a lot of information. He speaks Italian, French, Spanish and a bit of German. He is a great communicator and ready to help. Most points of interest are in walking distance, longer walks sometimes, but truly worthwhile. The city is great for architecture lovers. It offers everywhere well maintained edifices with charm and taste for details. One needs to keep the eyes up and open. The breakfast was excellent for our taste. The room was just right: comfortable, chic and simple. The building from 19th century is perfectly renovated and gives the traveler a local, appealing and familiar feeling. The Modern Art Gallery is just cross the street. Farther on, there is a beautiful residential neighbourhood with fabulous villas.
