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

We plan a couple of weeks on Lake Maggiore and wonder whether Stresa or Baveno is the better place to stay. We tend to prefer smaller resorts, such as Baveno, but like to do our own thing rather than go on organised excursions. So from the ease of getting around on local trains, buses, boats, etc. which would be the better base for us to stay in. I'd appreciate as much info as possible please. Thanks to everyone who bothers to reply!

we will be arriving at Malpensa at about 7.30 on a Sunday morning late September and need to get to Stresa, hopefully in time to catch the Lake Maggiore Express since the Express does not run on Mondays or Tuesdays late in the season

I have had a few quotes from taxis at around 75 euros but if possible would prefer to take a bus, but unsure if we will make it in time to catch a bus without waiting around for hours.

What are the chances of just hiring a taxi from the airport? Would it cost more than pre-arranging a taxi?

Maybe the idea of the Lake Maggiore Express is unrealistic anyway.

What is the most direct route from C. Riviera (Lake Maggiore) to catch an 11am flight in Milan (MXP) - on a Saturday? Many thanks!

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

Hi,

Your post is helpful but am wondering if there is much to do and what the nightlife/restaurants are like. We stayed at Lake Garda and found the resort very quiet, the ferries stopped at 7pm so we were stuck near our hotel. We are a couple in our early 50s who like relaxing surroundings but are happy to let our hair down in the evenings.

Many thanks

Hello VT Folks,

Hello,

I have a couple of questions about attending a wedding this summer in Pallanza.

Our friends are getting married at Chiesa San Leonardo, then at the Majestic Hotel. Is it tradition to wear a hat at such a wedding?

Also, i am thinking of booking either the Hotel Novara or Villa Azalea. I can see on the map the walking distance is only about 10 minutes to the church and venue. Has Villa Azalea got any major disadvantages over Novara? Is the hill walk very steep into the centre? (manageable in heels?)

Any help greatly appreciated!

People!

For me there are two options during my short stay in Piemonte. Stay the night in Vercelli or look for a last train/ bus to a city near Vercelli.
Can anyone recommend me a cheap nice place to stay in Vercelli or surroundings where I can get after midnight with public transport?
Does anyone know the buscompany which must ride to and from Vercelli ( the website i mean)

Saluti!

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!
