Everything you need is a short leisurely stroll away!
This was our first destination on a 10 day trip through the region and it was perfect for getting acclimated. The house is well stocked with dishes and cookware, and even some snacks and drinks so we could just enjoy our first evening with out having to do much shopping. We had very little trouble finding a place to park our car just a couple of blocks away.
We loved the little apartment on the square. There are shops and restaurants all within a short walk with great wines, cheeses, pastas, all the things you want.
The interior was cozy, although we had a hard time getting the Netflix to work, but then again we really didn't want to watch TV. The sheets an pillows were very nice (something I really care about!)
The few issues we had were minor. The manager was out of town and the woman who met us, on time, did not speak English and our Italian was poor. But we muddled through with Google Translate, and called the manager and worked it all out. Also, there was confusion on the number of rooms we were going to use. We had to pay an additional 50 euros for the cleaning of a second room. This needs to be made explicit on the VRBO website.
We spent a very nice week in Antonella's apartment in Savigliano.
The apartment is perfectly located in the central square of Savigliano, so that you can take part in life in the middle of an Italian city: in the morning breakfast with capuchino and croissants in a bar, during the day a bike tour e.g. to Saluzzo or to Bra and in the evening a perfect Italian dinner with typical Piedmontese dishes in the cozy restaurants in the vicinity of the apartment.
We really liked that we only needed our car when we went hiking in the mountains. This takes about 45 minutes from Savigliano.
The people in Savigliano are very friendly and warm. We always felt very welcome.
The apartment is wonderfully stylish and perfect for two couples. The apartment was spotlessly clean and the handover went smoothly as agreed.
The communication with Antonella was very warm and uncomplicated at all times.
If the opportunity arises, we'll be happy to come back.
