As mentioned in the previous review, Grappolo D'Oro is a family run coffee shop, restaurant and…read morehotel in the center of Monforte d'Alba. You can't miss it, it's in the middle of the central piazza. Two brothers, they look like twins, are at the front either greeting in the restaurant upstairs in the coffee shop downstairs. Their mother is a regular fixture in the coffee shop too. The Coffee Shop- It's always busy and a great spot to catch up with locals. The coffee is pretty darned good too! Morning pastries and fresh bread is quite limited though. The Restaurant- Located on the top floor, it's a spacious and classic spot serving up a super traditional Piemontese menu. An insalata mista and grilled veal made for a light lunch. The veal, however, was quite tough and chewy, so it wasn't the best I've had in the area. I'll be returning to Monforte to get married, I'll be sure to grab my morning cappuccino there! And yes, English is spoken there for those that need it.

While touring various cities throughout Italy, my husband and I chose to stay in Turin for a few…read morenights. This hotel is located just outside the bustling metropolitan area, in a quieter, more relaxed part of the city which was exactly what we were looking for. We planned to explore both the city center and take a drive out to Barolo to visit some wineries, so the location worked perfectly for us. One major perk: the hotel offers free on-site parking, which made things super convenient. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. We booked the presidential suite, and it was absolutely lovely, spacious, comfortable, and a step above the rooms we had in other cities during our trip. I highly recommend upgrading to the presidential suite if you're considering a stay here. We would definitely stay here again!

The breakfast included an impressive selection of meats, cheeses, breads, etc. It's too bad we only had one night here! As for the area- we were able to walk to several nearby shops & restaurants. Parking was a breeze.
