Hoteller i Oldenico

"This hotel is very run down. The heating/ cooling system was on vacation. The door to the bathroom didn’t open properly and the door to the room needed lots of persuading to close and lock. Several times we thought we had locked and returned to the room with the door partially open. Nothing missing but still not a comfortable thought. The breakfast help was friendly but the selection wasn’t much to our liking. Shaved chocolate, chocolate spread, chocolate cakes and of course chocolate croissants. If you are five years old you would be in heaven but if you watching your diet you might want to fast through this one. Up side and our reason for choosing this particular place was the proximity to the airport and as such it delivered with a 15 minute drive to Malpense. "

"The hotel and facilities are spread over a little hamlet in the hillside. Our rooms were in a lovely old house down the road from the lobby. The classic marble staircase and incredibly high ceilings gave an air of elegance to the rooms. The bathrooms were completely modernized and tastefully done. The rooms were furnished with period pieces that had less functionality than I would have hoped but they were beautiful to look at. The pool area was well equipped with good sunbeds and umbrellas. The kiosk near the pool offered a range of products for a reasonable cost. The restaurant had a typical menu for the area with the same menu for lunch and dinner, which limited the number of times we were interested in eating there. The nearest restaurant is a 15 walk but there are many choices within a 20 drive. Breakfast was typical for Italy a table full of cakes with a smattering of local savories. Wine tasting daily to give you a sense of their products, friendly and efficient but don’t expect an analysis or details about the wine. It seems more the intention to get you warmed up to open your purse strings. I would have loved to seen more spa, or wellness focus. It seemed popular with large rowdy groups. Better as a destination than a jumping point to explore Piedmont as it is quite isolated. The hamlet is located in a wooded area and you would benefit from bringing mosquito repellent. "
