My husband and I just returned from our first trip to Turin and had a fabulous stay at Opera 35. Every aspect of the experience was thoughtful and made the hotel a perfect home-away-from-home for our week in Turin.
The location is a dream. None of the main sights in the city—Mole Antonelliana, Palazzo Reale, Museo Egizio—are more than a 25 minute walk. However, being so close to the river and Parco del Valentino means it's also very easy to walk about ten minutes and access beautiful and relaxing green spaces. There are exceptional restaurants and coffee shops near the hotel too. The Google Maps list they have curated is a bonus and led us to several great bites and sips.
The room was clean, spacious, well-appointed, and had thoughtful touches to make us comfortable all week long. The hotel common spaces were also beautifully kept.
We loved having the option to reserve breakfast downstairs in the mornings. It's not cheap—you can obviously get a coffee and pastry for much less elsewhere—but it's a generous and delicious spread focusing on regional Piedmontese products. It was perfect on mornings we didn't want to feel like we had to rush to shower and get dressed to go out for coffee and a bite. Being able to have snacks and cocktails in the courtyard was lovely too.
All of this said though, the absolute highlight of our stay at Opera 35 was the staff. Everyone was extremely kind, welcoming, helpful, and knowledgeable. Among the best experiences I've had at ANY property.
