Turin Hotels, Turin B&B and Turin Residences
The most widespread accommodation options in Turin are undoubtedly the hotels, B&B and residences. With various categories, diverse locations, and different services, the city offers a wide variety of establishments to ensure that you can find the one that suits you best.
I have thought about starting to divide the city's structures based on their proximity to major points of interest and train stations:
And to finish by analyzing the different structures based on their respective districts and highlight every detail of them for helping you in making the best choice according to your needs.
District 1: Historical Centre, Crocetta and San Secondo
District 2: Santa Rita, Mirafiori Nord-Sud
District 3: San Paolo, Cenisia, Pozzo Strada, Cit Turin, Borgata Lesna
District 4: San Donato, Campidoglio, Parella
District 5: Borgo Vittoria, Madonna di Campagna, Lucento, Vallette
District 6: Barriera di Milano, Regio Parco, Barca, Bertolla, Falchera, Rebaudengo, Villaretto
District 7: Aurora, Vanchiglia, Sassi, Madonna del Pilone
District 8: San Salvario, Cavoretto, Borgo Po, Nizza Millefonti, Lingotto, Filadelfia
Let's see together below!
District 1
Historical centre, Crocetta and San Secondo
The points of interest you will find in this district are:
- The Mole Antonelliana and Cinema museum of Turin
- The egyptian museum of Turin
- Carignano Palace of Turin
- Piazza Castello, Royal Palace, Royal Armories
- Madama Palace of Turin
- Museum of the Holy Shroud of Turin
- Teatro Regio of Turin
- Regional Museum of Natural Sciences of Turin
- Piazza Vittorio Veneto of Turin
- 'GAM' Museum of Turin
District 1 of the city of Turin is the smallest one overall. It encompasses the entire area of the "historic center", the "Crocetta" area (historically the most prestigious residential area in the city) and the neighborhood "San Secondo" located in the eastern part.
This district offers peace and tranquility and allows you to be a stone's throw away from the city center. Characteristic of the "Crocetta" area (called "the little Paris") are the residential villas in the heart of the city surrounded by large pedestrian areas that allow you to "escape" from city traffic.
This area is intersected by one of the most important thoroughfares in the city; Corso Vittorio Emanuele. It's one of the first streets built by the Savoy family in honor of the first king of Italy, "Vittorio Emanuele II". Of notable importance and beauty is the statue erected at the intersection of the homonymous course and Corso Galileo Ferraris in 1899 by the will of Umberto I of Savoy, son of the king. The statue, 39m high, depicts King Vittorio Emanuele II, standing, facing away from France.
Near Corso Vittorio Emanuele, there is the 'GAM,' an important gallery of modern and contemporary art. Houses permanent art collections from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
In the same area, for those who, after a day of sightseeing and walking, want to treat themselves to moments of relaxation and tranquility, there are the "QC Terme Torino" with daily and evening admissions to meet every need. (I have been there several times, and personally, I think the evening admission is particularly worthwhile as there is also an aperitif in the facility, and then you can enjoy the beauty of the outdoor pools with a very suggestive nighttime atmosphere)
For all shopping enthusiasts, Turin has several pedestrian streets in this area (including Via Roma, Via Garibaldi, and Via Lagrange as the main ones) that boast the presence of all luxury brands and every possible and imaginable chain of stores. It is a very tourist-rich area and obviously very well-equipped to give them a special welcome (hotels, bars, restaurants, and much more).
Personally, I love that part of the city and highly recommend it when you are in Turin because you can find anything you could desire, and at the same time, you walk peacefully through the streets of the historic center among museums and typical restaurants.
Not least are the accommodation facilities in this area; divided into each price range, these are strategically located. There are multiple options; I personally suggest some structures for you:
Historical centre area:
- Hotel Alpi Resort ⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Oriana Homèl Torino (Suite Hotel)
- Hotel Victoria & Iside SPA ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Crocetta area:
- La Luna e i Falò (B&B)
- NH Torino Centro ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
District 2
Santa Rita, Mirafiori Nord-Sud
The points of interest you will find in this district are:
- "Olimpyc Stadium" and "Inalpi Arena" (ex "Pala Alpitour")
- Sanctuary on Santa Rita da Cascia
- The Santa Rita Market (very characteristic)
The district 2 is located in the South-Western part of the city. It consists of the "Santa Rita" area, named after the homonymous sanctuary dedicated to 'Santa Rita da Cascia' built in the first half of the twentieth century (immortalized in the previous image), and the "Mirafiori" area (north and south). The latter name was attributed in the distant 1585 when the Savoy duke Carlo Emanuele I erected a castle for his Spanish wife, rich in flowered gardens called 'miraflores.' When the castle was destroyed by a flood of the Sangone River in 1810, the name 'mirafiori' remained to honor its memory.
The Mirafiori area has been very important, especially in the recent past, because the FIAT Automotive company provided employment to many people from all over Italy. In this predominantly industrial area, there are not many tourist attractions; it can be considered a highly industrialized zone.
On the contrary, the Santa Rita neighborhood is considered a very active and dynamic area, especially for sports and non-sporting events. Near the 'Piazza D'armi' park, there is the 'Stadio Olimpico' and the 'Inalpi Arena' (formerly Pala Alpitour), where football events, vocal performances (concerts), and much more take place throughout the year. In the separate 'events' section, you can see the list of all the events in the city during the year.
In this area I recommend this kind of structures:
Santa Rita area:
- Appartamento Le Cementine (Residence)
- SUNNY SIDE 1 Turin suites (Residence)
- Santa Rita suite (Residence)
District 3
San Paolo, Cenisia, Pozzo Strada, Cit Turin, Borgata Lesna
The points of interest you will find in this district are:
- Intesa San Paolo Skyscraper of Turin
- OGR (Officine Grandi Riparazioni) of Turin
- "Palazzo Lancia" and Constitution Square of Turin
- Ruffini park and "Pala Ruffini"
The district 3 is located in the central-western part of the city. It is composed of the "San Paolo" neighborhood, named after an ancient house of prayer built in that area in 1699 by the group 'Compagnia delle Opere Pie di San Paolo.' The "Cenisia" neighborhood derives its name from the nearby Susa Valley and the Moncenisio pass, which borders with neighboring France. The "Pozzo Strada" neighborhood has ancient origins, with the name coming from a well documented in a text from the year 930. The "Cit Turin" neighborhood developed in the 19th century, and finally, the "Lesna hamlet", the smallest of all.
It turns out to be a very green neighborhood, rich in parks halfway between the city center, reachable in 20 minutes by public transport, and the city belt where you can start breathing the truly air of nature!
In this area I recommend this kind of structures:
San Paolo area:
- Bilocale San Paolo (Residence)
- Best Quality Hotel Politecnico ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Be Turin (Residence)
- Hotel Campus San Paolo ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Cenisia area:
- Mato Apartment Torino (Residence)
Pozzo Strada area:
- Holiday Inn Turin Corso Francia ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Casa di Roby (Residence)
District 4
San Donato, Campidoglio, Parella
The points of interest you will find in this district are:
- "Villa della Tesoriera" of Turin
- Church of the Visitation of Turin
- Pellerina Park
- Dora Park and the "MaCa" museum inside it, the first museum in all of Europe entirely dedicated to environmental themes.
The district 4 of the city of Turin is located in the northern part. The two largest areas are those called "San Donato" and "Parella". The first takes its name from the homonymous church dedicated to "Donato d'Arezza" of which there are records since 1536. The second, instead, takes its name from an ancient farmhouse purchased by the Marquises "San Martino di Parella" around 1400. The smallest one is called "Campidoglio".
The neighborhood is a residential area surrounded by green areas and crossed by the "Dora Riparia" river. In the area, there is the largest urban park in the city, built in the 1930s, "Parco della Pellerina". In addition to extensive natural areas, this area also has some monuments to visit including "Chiesa della Visitazione" and "Villa Barocca della Tesoriera".
The southern part of district 4 borders "Piazza Statuto", the starting point of one of the city's most famous pedestrian street full of shops and restaurants of all kinds; via Garibaldi.
Continuing all the way down will lead you directly into the heart of the historic center, in Piazza Castello.
In this area I recommend this kind of structures:
San Donato area:
- Piccola Regina (Residence)
- Casa Axel (B&B)
- Balbis Choco Rooms (Residence)
- Gaia Suites (B&B)
Parella area:
- Maison Christine (Residence)
District 5
Borgo Vittoria, Madonna di Campagna, Lucento, Vallette
The points of interest you will find in this district are:
- The Church of the Holy Face of Turin
- Shrine of Our Lady of Health of Turin
District 5 of the municipality of Turin is situated in the northern part of the city; it consists of the areas "Borgata Vittoria", "Madonna di Campagna" (named after the expanses of countryside present in this area until the 14th century, a period when a votive capital depicting the Madonna was discovered), "Lucento", "Borgata Ceronda", and "Vallette" (named in the late Middle Ages after a Roman settlement called 'Valletas', probably indicating a small depression in that area compared to the surrounding land).
This district is one of the least touristy in the city, to be honest; it doesn't have many tourist attractions and is relatively far from the historic center. Despite this, there are historical and non-historical elements that still make this area interesting to the tourist's eye.
In the Borgata Ceronda is situated the first church built in the 21st century in Turin. The Church of the Holy Face (depicted in the image above), constructed in a location once rich with massive industrial settlements abandoned in the last decades of the 20th century, emerged in an area undergoing radical urban redevelopment, which today represents one of the city's largest green lungs. The church, with its modern shape, is beautiful, and its interior is very luminous thanks to the tall towers that allow natural illumination during the day.
In the "Vallette" area, there is an attraction that may not appeal to many of you, but for some it can be very "attractive": the Allianz Stadium (Juventus Stadium).
The stadium attracts thousands of tourists and locals every week (depending on the home team's schedule) to a highly equipped area with shopping centers, restaurants, and hotels. So, if you're a football fan planning a trip to Turin and want to catch a football match while you're here, I believe this could be a great area to stay (Structures near the Allianz Stadium). It takes about 45 minutes to reach the historic center from here, but you can reach any area by public transportation!
Personally, I wouldn't stay in this district; instead, I would go see the few things there are and I recommend staying in another part of the city that is more characteristic and closer to the center.
District 6
Barriera di Milano, Regio Parco, Barca, Bertolla, Falchera, Rebaudengo, Villaretto
The points of interest you will find in this district are:
- Stura Park
- Ettore Fico museum
- The Church of "Maria Regina della Pace"
District 6 is the biggest one and is located in the northeastern outskirts of the city of Turin. It consists of the areas "Barriera di Milano" (named because in the past there were "barriers" for controlling goods in this area and was called Milan because of its orientation towards the Lombardy capital), "Regio Parco" (now an urban district, but in 1568 during the time of Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy, this territory was used as the park of the royal residences), "Barca" (in medieval times up to the Roman era, the safest means of transportation were the rivers, so boats were the means that connected Turin to nearby cities in the area), "Bertolla", "Falchera" (named after the Falchera farmhouse which in the early 1700s was owned by the Falchero family, large landowners who had power over this land), "Pietra Alta", "Rebaudengo", and "Villaretto"
Today, this suburban area is more residential than touristy; it hosts a diverse population, bringing with it various traditions and cultures. Among the activities in this district, there's the "Ettore Fico" Museum (featuring frequently changing thematic exhibitions), the Church of Maria Regina della Pace, and Stura Park.
As I say in the district 5, personally, I wouldn't stay in this area; instead, I would go see the few things there are and I recommend staying in another part of the city that is more characteristic and closer to the center.
District 7
Aurora, Vanchiglia, Sassi, Madonna del Pilone
The points of interest you will find in this district are:
- Superga Basilica of Turin with the rack railway ascent
- The house of the famous writer Emilio Salgari
- Santa Giulia square and its namesake church
- Meisino Park between Turin and San Mauro
- Nuvola Lavazza museum of Turin
District 7 is certainly one of the greenest in the whole city; it includes, like district 8, a very vast portion of the Turin hill, extending up to the famous "Basilica di Superga." This area is formed by 4 distinct macro zones: "Aurora" (named after the homonymous ancient textile farmhouse built in the nineteenth century in the center of that area), "Borgo Vanchiglia or Vanchiglietta", "Borgata Rosa-Sassi" (named after the historic Rosa family that had a brick manufacturing furnace), and "Madonna del Pilone" (originally named after the homonymous church on Corso Casale erected in 1644).
The neighborhoods "Aurora" and "Borgo Vanchiglia" in particular are experiencing strong growth both in terms of population and tourism; among the most significant factors for this growth are the proximity to the historic center, the presence of landmarks such as "Campus Einaudi" (a famous university hub for Law studies) and the "Nuvola Lavazza" (a large building housing the company's headquarters along with a beautiful museum, an archaeological site, and a restaurant), and the proximity to large green areas.
I highly recommend this area to all those who love lively nightlife; it's full of bars and restaurants that serve food and drinks until late, often accompanied by music. The presence of the Campus Einaudi makes it a lively area with many young students spending their evenings relaxing and having fun.
In this area I recommend this kind of structures:
Aurora area:
- Camplus Regio Parco (Residence)
Vanchiglia area:
- In verticale (Residence)
- Hotel dei pittori ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Hotel CX Turin regina student ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sassi area:
- Parco Hotel Sassi ⭐️⭐️⭐️
District 8
San Salvario, Cavoretto, Borgo Po, Nizza Millefonti, Lingotto
The points of interest you will find in this district are:
- Gran Madre church
- Pinacoteca Agnelli
- Valentino Castle
- 'Fountain of the 12 Months
The last district of the city is entirely cut through by the river Po. The district is divided into 5 areas: "San Salvario" (named after the ancient Church of 1646 originally called San Salvatore, which in Piedmontese dialect is defined as 'San Salvari'), "Cavoretto" (named originated from the Celtic people in reference to the tribe that inhabited the area, 'Caburriates'), "Borgo Po" (historically a fishing village inhabited just outside the walls of the ancient Roman city 'Augusta Taurinorum'), "Nizza Millefonti", and "Lingotto" (originally named after the ancient Celtic population called 'Ligoni').
Each area within this district offers different services, places to stay, and sights to see. If I have to express my preference, the 'Borgo Po' area is the one I prefer. It encompasses various historical styles in the construction of small houses, private villas, and grand monuments. From the Liberty style of the early 1900s to the decorative triumph of the Viennese Secession in the four turrets of Casa Mussini (Via Mancini 22), passing through the Neorococò style of the isolated villa in Via Mancini 24, and arriving at an Art Déco style of the house in Via Lanfranchi 17, admiring a particular sculptural detail designed by Annibale Rigotti in 1914. The neighborhood in question is referred to by citizens as a true 'village' in itself, where one lives very serenely yet at the same time only a 5 minute walk from the heart of the city's historic center.
The 'San Salvario' and 'Lingotto' areas line the riverbank on the opposite side of Borgo Po; these two areas are also rich in tourist spots and hotels. Places to see during the day definitely include the Medieval village and the Valentino Castle (within the park of the same name), the 'Fountain of the 12 Months,' the Automobile Museum, and the Pinacoteca Agnelli inside the 'Lingotto' shopping center.
In this area I recommend this kind of structures:
San Salvario area:
- Hotel DUPARC Contemporary suites ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Hotel CX Turin belfiore ⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Hotel Best Western plus executive ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Ca' cita guest house (Residence)
Borgo Po area:
- Best Western Hotel Crimea ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Nizza Millefonti area:
- Hotel DoubleTree by Hilton turin lingotto ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Lingotto residence (Residence)
- Locazione turistica La Primula (Residence)
Personally, I think that Turin is a city that never ceases to amaze you. In it, you will always find new things to see, new things to do, and to visit. You will find places to stay where you can feel transported back in time, others where you will feel immersed in modernity, and still others surrounded by extreme luxury (see Turin Luxury Hotel). In whatever part of the city you want to stay, visit, or eat, you will always find something that will make you fall in love with this city.
I hope that Turin Why Not! can help you in this endeavor; I will do my best to make you appreciate my hometown.
