Ponzano Monferrato Vacations from $944

Friendly welcome - excellent location.

The location was awesome but the manager who checked us in was not very helpful and did not help us with orientation at all. It would be good if travellers from outside Italy were given a little help though appreciate it is not a usual destination for foreign tourists.

From the moment we arrived the staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. We arrived late but the receptionist took time to show local sites and amenities on the map and recommended things to do. The room was clean and large, the bed comfy and there was a little balcony for a morning coffee or after dinner drink. Breakfast was good and pretty reasonable - a few days we skipped it to explore local options instead. The hotel has a pleasant outdoor terrace where you can take breakfast, chill in the afternoon or have pre-dinner drinks. A shame it closed at 8pm along with the bar but there are no plenty of local spots for a later drink, including down by the river and in one of the several buzzing squares. All in all a great base for exploring Turin, the historic sites in the area, and day trips to other towns/cities. We made the most of fast train to Milan and had a great day.
