The east side along the river Po — the Gran Madre church, leafy Vanchiglia's student bars, and the hill viewpoints just across the water. Relaxed and scenic, a short walk to the centre; a calmer, characterful base.

On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 10.Basilica of Superga — A magnificent domed basilica on a hill east of the city, reached by a vintage rack railway, with the Savoy royal tombs below and a sweeping panorama of Turin against the Alps. The grandest view around; poignant, too, as the site of the 1949 Grande Torino air disaster.
- 12.Monte dei Cappuccini — A church on a low hill just across the Po, a short climb for the postcard view straight down the river to the Mole with the Alps behind. The easiest great viewpoint in town; magic at sunset.
- 13.Gran Madre & the Po — A neoclassical, Pantheon-like church facing the river across a handsome bridge — the gateway to the hill and, legend has it, tangled in the city's esoteric mysteries. A fine riverside spot for a stroll.
