Hello Vt'ers,

For some reasons, I had to stay at this B&B for my trip to Torino and I have a few questions:

B&B "CASCINA MOTETTE"
Via Cascina Motette 46
10060 - Castagnole Piemonte
http://www.cascinamotette.it/index.php?opt=informazioni&lang=EN

a) Since I do not drive, is it convenient to take the public bus from this B&B to the city centre (back and forth)?

b) Do the buses run frequently all day including evening till 11pm?

c) Can I use the unlimited travel bus-pass on this journey (from B&B to city centre, back and forth)

Hope to hear from you.

Cheers
Glen

I will be visiting Rivalta Di Torino on business need with Avio. I will be there for a period of two months during this time I am looking for an apartment rental accommodation in Rivalta di Torino for a couple of months starting Oct 2009 till Mid Dec 2009. Any information on this is highly appreciated.

My husband and I will be celebrating his 40th birthday in Torino on Sunday the 12th. Do you have any recommendations for a nice restaurant open Sunday for dinner and cafe/bar for aperitivos?

We are staying in via Bonelli but don't mind traveling, and cost isn't too much of an issue. We love food and would really like a typical/ local dinner.

Many thanks

My wife and I will be traveling from Turin to Paris during the third week of October, preferably by train. Any suggestions on where to stop in between? Ideally, we would like to leave Turin on Tues. morning, arrive *somewhere* Tues afternoon/early evening, leave Wed afternoon/early evening and arrive in Paris in time for dinner on Wed night. All we need is a place to enjoy local food and wine, and to go for a stroll...but we're open for anything: quiet/romantic town, scenic area (castles, hills, coast), maybe even the casinos in Monte Carlo.

The key is that we'd have to be able to easily get there from Turin, and easily get from there to Paris. Though a less touristy area would be nice, I understand our options may be limited given these travel requirements.

I'm hoping the experts here can help us find the best path to Paris, thanks!

Hello,

Thanks for your tip! Am coming to Italy next week end and will stay at the address below for 2 weeks. What's the weather like lately?

I will be staying at the address below:
ILO Centre
Viale Maestri del Lavoro, 10
10127 Turin

My courses finish at 17.00. Is it far to go to Via Garibaldi from my address? Is it opened on Sundays? And on weekdays, wot are the opening hours?

Can you email me back at isa_ktl@live.com??

Cheers

Hi,

I will be travelling to Turin from Dec 9 - 15, 2008. I am a Juve fan and the whole purpose of being in Turin for 6 days is to watch a couple of live matches. Luckily for me Juve - Real Madrid and Juve - Milan fall in this period. I want to ensure that I don't miss out on these matches and would like to buy the tickets way in advance. There's currently no information on Juventus.com and listicket.it regarding these or any other matches. Please help me to get the tickets in advance!

Next question is that, will I be better off staying in a hotel for 6 nights spending approximately 600-700 euros on a decent hotel or renting a short term apartment. How would the apartment cost me in a safe and central location? (If I stay for a month, I will be regularly travelling to Vinovo)

Next is the weather. I know it is going to be cold but how many layers would I require? I have lived in Boston which is probably worse than Turin but I have not been there for like 5 years now. So a few tips would be handy.

The most important question: Which are the best places to socialize with new people and meet beautiful women?

Thanks!

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi

I have been trying to work out the train times for our holiday and it seems there is no train for that time. I was planning on going from Turin to Borgosesia on the 8th January. The train runs now but when i put in the 8th there says there is no train. Is it too early or is there really no train?

If not does anyone know how I can get there?

Thanks

Jess
