Saluzzo Paesana 1718

Alex was a great host. I needed guick laundry service, so he escorted me to a local laundry to help translate the need to hurry. Very friendly and attentive. I really liked this B&B; and I have stayed in many. Great architecture and decor inside, especially the huge living/dinning room area. They do not serve food, but everything is available to make tea or coffee. My bed was comfortable and there was plenty of hot water. Good location to visit the Shroud of Turin, both the museum (replica) and further up the road the cathedral with the actual Shroud. Just a five minute walk one way and 15 the other. Other sights to see as well. There are three train stations in Turin (Torino). Get off at the North station. The taxi cost only 8 Euro.

A too dark everywhere. The lights were on timers and after a while it became annoying having to find the right switches to keep turning on the lights as you moved about. Sometimes the Internet was running really slow. Both are easy fixes. I would suggest having some tourist maps available and more local tourist brochures in multiple languages. The rates were fair, but I had a big increase for the Saturday.
