Turin: the overlooked first capital of Italy

An hour's drive brings you to a regal city full of arcades, squares and coffee houses. Set aside a whole day — Turin surprises in every way.

For many, Turin is still an unknown city. Unknown means unloved… but in the case of Turin it really is well worth setting aside a full day. Turin is just under an hour's drive from the B&B.

Walking under the arches

Turin was once the capital of Italy. You can stroll wonderfully under the high arcades of the city, where a wide range of shops can be found. The most famous square is the Piazza Castello. Be sure to also visit the Mole Antonelliana with its spectacular lift that takes you to the top, where you have a magnificent view over the city.
