Select the country and object's type IN PIEMONTE “TREATED LIKE ROYALTY”

starting from €90 per night for 2 people for a trip to discover the Crown of Delights

Piemonte has some 17 Royal Residences, a unique situation in Europe that was named a World Heritage Site in 1997, together with glorious castles and sanctuaries closely connected with the Savoy dynasty.

A rich heritage that is truly worth travelling to see, and then going on to discover a region abounding in attractions. The promise is learning about history, elegance and beauty starting from the old town centre of Torino, the powerhouse of the Royal family. The journey then goes on routes that connect court life with the pleasures of summer retreats and religious worship: from Palazzo Reale to the Villa della Regina, the Ducal Castle of Aglié and Govone Castle to name but a few. This is truly a “Crown of Delights”, the result of a very specific architectural plan to surround the city with monumental palaces.

To allow everyone to discover and enjoy this prestigious heritage left by the Savoy family between the 16th and 17th centuries, interesting holiday offers have been created, starting from €90.00 per night in a double room with breakfast, where also a child up to age of 12 can stay. Included in the offer there is a 2-day Torino+Piemonte Card per adult with which all the Royal Residences can be entered free of charge.

An offer not to be missed for discovering the Palaces of Power (majestic palaces and forbidding command centres in the heart of Torino), the Life at Court (splendid residences for pleasure and hunting where ceremonies and receptions were held), the Royal Summer Retreats (welcoming country residences surrounded by huge parks) and Religion (sumptuous baroque churches and sanctuaries of the Savoy).

Indelible signs found between Torino and its province, Cuneo, Alba, Bra, Langhe and Roero and Biella, left by a dynasty whose intention it was to surround themselves with regal residences, the home to refined court life and majestic evidence of their power acquired.
