I found this hotel quite by accident during the recent taxi strike. I had a 6:00 am flight to catch and my downtown hotel couldn’t secure me transportation to the airport for my early morning flight. However the downtown hotel found and booked me a room at Romantic Hotel Furno, which was billed as an airport location. The manager assured me that he could secure a ride to the airport the next morning. I expected a nondescript airport hotel and was surprised when we drove from Turin city center (a 20 minute drive) about 10-15 minutes past the airport into the countryside. (After I luckily found 1 taxi driver at the train station who wasn’t participating in the strike). We turned into a lovely gated hotel where I found a beautifully restored farm surrounded by a few acres of garden, which in turn was surrounded by fields of corn. The manager was extremely professional and kind and welcomed me to the hotel and confirmed that he had booked a 4:30 am transport to the airport for me. I checked into my clean, though modest, room and went downstairs for dinner al fresco. The dinner was delicious and the service impeccable. I enjoyed seeing two large family groups from the local village arrive for a special evening out. It was a beautiful night and the perfect way to calm my nerves after the stress of dealing with the strike. Could not recommend more if you would like a launching point to explore the outskirts of Turin, or if you will be taking an early morning flight from the Turin airport. Many thanks to Romantic Hotel Furno!
