With a prime city centre location by Piazza Vittorio Veneto, you need not travel far to begin exploring Turin's varied attractions. Relax with a espresso in the grand Piazza Vittorio Veneto that lies in the shadow of impressive Chiesa Gran Madre di Dio (church of the great mother). The square is a hub of activity in the evening, offering the finest of Piedmontese cuisine, vibrant bars and gelatarias. Restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets (trattorie, pizzeria, baraperitivo) surround the hotel. This is also a main shopping district for fashion, antiques and confectioneries. You can escape from the bustle of town with a stroll along the river Po into the romantic Parco del Valentino, where paths lead through beautiful rock gardens, by fountains and sculpture.
