Lo Scoiattolo Piedmont Bike Hotel

We choose this hotel to be able to visit Turin city and vineyards. The family room for 4 was big enough for our bags, kids had their own room with flatscreen TV. Easy free parking with code access at any time. Although informed in advanced, we are still disappointed to have to pay extra for the swimming pool: 5€ / day / person. The great surprise was the restaurant with great dishes and good wine list.

We were on a cycling tour and stayed here for 7 nights. It was a comfortable stay throughout. Gianni and his team were extremely helpful throughout our stay from the reception to the restaurant to the housekeeping and the cycling tour guides. We had the double room and it was spacious for 2 adults, 2 large bags and 2 cabin bags. We were located on a new wing, on the ground floor. There's no elevator to our room, so we had to carry our heavy stuff down the stairs. There's an in-room safe to store your valuable items and TV with 3 international English language channels. Our room was quiet, facing the pond. We left the window open most of the time. Window had a screen, don't need to worry about insects. If anything to improve, would be to provide a hot water kettle and iron for guest use. Alternatively could provide an iron and hot water dispenser at a common area for all guests to use. Had breakfast and dinner daily at the hotel restaurant. I must say the food were really good and the restaurant had enough options for us try something different every day (for dinner). You could make a request to customise some dishes if you have any dietary restrictions. For breakfast, there was a good selection of yogurt, fresh fruits, cakes, bread and option for an egg dish as well as tea/coffee. Laundry was available for technical (cycling) clothing. Laundry bags were provided and you need to drop them in the bin before 7pm to get it back at 8am the next day. Nearest shops is quite a bit of a walk. If you're on a cycling trip, you can cycle to the shops. It is quite central if you're on a cycling trip though.. the travel time to the different cycling routes are about the same.

Wonderful staff, excellent food and a priceless bike experience with Davide. If you want to have a memorable week of cycling, good food and a hotel that makes everything so easy and hassle free then you want to trust Gianni and his team. I can’t recommend them enough!!

A very enjoyable week, Gianni, Sarah and staff were very kind and helpful, lovely hotel and grounds. excellent and varied menu which we enjoyed every evening. Davide provided very good cycle hire with Pinarello road bikes and a good range of day ride routes, the grand Roero being particularly impressive, lovely countryside with beautiful hill top villages. My only fault which is not a fault on the hotel or staff is the location which is on a fast main road about 1.5km from the village, with no pavement making it rather isolated if you like walking and exploring the area

My wife and I were pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem. Everyone at the hotel was super friendly and helpful. Everyone went out of their way to accommodate our needs from the transport to accommodations. We truly enjoyed our stay and the riding experience.

Great service, nice staff and excellent food. The bike centre was very good - big choice of routes, experienced and affable guides, with secure bike storage and workshop facilities. Bedrooms were clean and functional, with air conditioning, and the pool, albeit very cold, and gym of a good standard.
