Hotel Arcadia, Romano Canavese, N of Turin

The Hotel Arcadio is in Scarmagno, some 40km north east of Turin, at the foot of the Canavese hills. This lovely 18th century building has been transformed into a welcoming inn, while retaining its distinctive original style and harmonious architecture. Nearby lies the huge Gran Paradiso national park and the fairytale castles that typify this northern Italian region of Piedmont (Piemonte.).

Little Romano Canavese has a population of fewer than 3000 people and borders Pavone Canavese, Ivrea, Mercenasco, Strambino, Perosa Canavese and Scarmagno. Romano Canavese is part of the Canavese area at the foot of the Alps (Piemonte means 'foot of the mountains' of course), and which is centred on the town of Ivrea. It joins the Aosta Valley to the north and the River Po to the south.

And this is a lovely setting, this Romano Canavese hotel sitting within walled gardens, with ornamental trees, beautiful planting and private parking beneath the hotel (very secure, and with a lift/elevator up into the hotel). Rooms are singles, doubles, twins, triples and quadruples, so everything for the solo business traveller or family group alike. All rooms have minibar, air conditioning, bathroom with shower and toilet, TV and phone.

This hotel in Romano Canavese offers luggage storage, a buffet breakfast each morning, express check in and out, soundproofed rooms, safe deposit facilities - there is even a chapel. Shoeshine, WiFi internet, car rental, photocopying, packed lunches and internet access - just ask the staff and they'll be delighted to help.
