San Giovanni Hotel Resort, Saluzzo

Beautiful Hotel, but bad interior design. Hardly any area in the spacious rooms where you can put things down (important when you stay for a week). Ample hanging space in the ardrobe but hardly any shelves there either. The lighting in the room and the bathroom was a catastrophe. Very dark. No proper lighting by the wash basin or by the desk. Breakfast starts at 8 am which is a little late for my taste (much more so since there a no tea and coffee facilities in the room), and breakfast doesn't offer much variety. No eggs except for cold boiled eggs for instance. They take a long time to bring out coffee and tea in the morning and there is a certain reluctance to refill breakfast items which have run out on the buffet. It was mid-September and the the nights were cold yet there was no heating on (I know that Italian law does not require an inn-keeper to put the heating on in September, but it was still cold!), so getting out of bed in the morning and into the bathroom was a bit of a challenge. The room was very beautiful with wonderful linen (yet the design kept it all in GREY). The hotel has immense potential but I never had a feeling that it was run really professionally. If you stay there, give the restaurant a miss!

La signora alla reception si è assicurata che le nostre esigenze fossero soddisfatte, la camera era molto bella. Anche il ristorante aveva degli ottimi piatti, decisamente da provare.
