Villa Doria il Torrione

Perfect place to stay and enjoy the area around Torino

This is a country estate on the edge of a huge nature preserve. Great for walks and decompressing. The rooms are not in the nice large house pictured in the promotional photos, we were told by staff that is the owner's home. Instead you are on the back of a courtyard. It actually works out okay, just don't think you are going to be in a glamorous estate house. Breakfast was good, staff very friendly. This is located far from any sizable town or restaurant and very far from Torino which is the popular regional city. So do your touring and dining before coming here. Getting into the property is a bit challenging if you are following Google Maps, it routed us through some unpaved country lanes which were essentially fields. But waking up to the sound of country silence (and occasional farm machinery) was sweet.

Once admitted, we found our room, or rather suite, to be quiet and comfortable. We wished we could have stayed longer than one night. The suite had cooking and laundry facilities. Wifi was excellent. Extremely quiet A mile long walk around the grounds past the lake after the dinner we brought from Pinerlo and ate al fresco on the balcony. No traffic noise. Comfortable bedroom. An excellent breakfast with cold meats, cheeses, bakery goods, coffee, expresso machine and more. Highly recommended.

A perfect estate to seek peace and quiet, for nature lover or whoever wants a break to relax yet close to outdoor activities and wonderful regional food.
