Overview

Piedmont (Piemonte in Italian) means "foot of the mountains", Turin, the region's major city isn't just the car capital of Italy and home to the Holy Shroud. Neoclassical piazzas, shops filled with chocolates and chic fashions, and elegant Baroque palazzos have been restored in grand style.
We are a small team, we want you to discover the beauty of Turin . Piedmont is a region rich in history, well worth visiting at least once in a lifetime. We suggest, but you decide what you want to see and do. Our group are max 3 people, we are in no hurry, we do the tours with a lot of relax.

What to expect

  1. La Venaria Reale
    3h · Admission ticket not included
    The Royal Palace of Venaria, the summer residence of the Savoys modelled on Versailles,extensive Italianate gardens surround this 16th-century hunting lodge built for Carlo Emanuele II of Savoy. The basements now house a historical exhibition that relates the story of the Savoy. The upper floors are given over to changing exhibitions. The Royal Palace is closed on Mondays.
  2. Sacra Di San Michele
    4h · Admission ticket not included
    Sacra di San Michele A forbidding fortified abbey anchored atop a rocky hill, the Sacra di San Michele. To reach the church, you must climb 150 steps, past 12th-century sculptures, from the Porta dello Zodiaco, a splendid Romanesque doorway decorated with the signs of the zodiac. On the left side of the interior are 16th-century frescoes representing New Testaments themes; on the right are depictions of the founding of the church. Note that some sections of the abbey are open only on weekends and, when particularly crowded, visit may be limited to hour-long tours. Weather permitting, the views from the walls and terraces surrounding the church are breathtaking.
    If the weather is snowy you cannot reach the Sacra di San Michele , the tour guide will suggest an alternative itinerary
