Rione San Maurizio Hotels, Biella

"Amazing"

"Staying in a true stone castle, with a tower, wrought iron door hardware, frescoes, and excellent accommodations was amazing enough, but to share the spaces with the ghosts of Rosario Scalero's esteemed students of music and walk the trails of the pilgrims from Canterbury to Rome conjured up a special magic for our group of 8 music, food, and wine-loving Midwesterners. Karl was an excellent host with his local team of Moreno and Giulia, helping us discover the wonders of the region and the friendly village at the castle's base. The one item that should noted for other castle-lodgers that was not apparent to us in the listing is the difficulty of hauling luggage by hand up and down the steep winding and stony path or several hundred stairs - ultimately worthwhile for most of our group, but very limiting to one or two members with mobility issues. Those with adequate fitness can plan ahead for packing mainly essentials, but those for whom rigorous daily climbs would be challenging should think twice. Nevertheless, the majority of our group would enthusiastically hope to return some day, definitely worthy of the effort! "

"Very accommodating, especially considering our last minute booking due to a road closure following a large avalanche. Allowed us to use the room until the road was reopened in the afternoon the following day."
