Albergo Serenella is situated in Vanchiglia, a laid-back, bohemian neighbourhood just east of Turin’s historic centre and a 10–15 minute walk from the banks of the River Po. It’s a family-run property housed in a traditional building and with basic but comfortable guest rooms. There’s a small breakfast room and bar, with several indie cafés and vintage shops on your doorstep. Notable nearby attractions include The Egyptian Museum and Royal Palace, both which are easily reachable on foot.

Set in Turin’s Quadrilatero Romano, the city’s atmospheric medieval quarter, this hotel is housed in a beautifully restored historic building.

Each morning guests can start the day with a hearty buffet breakfast served in a striking communal space, and there’s also a chic lobby bar. A brisk 5–minute walk brings you to Piazza Castello and Porta Palazzo’s bustling markets.

Set in an attractive 19th century building, 4km northeast of the city centre, this charming but affordable hotel features simply-styled guests rooms equipped with flat-screen TVs and free Wi Fi.
