B&B Castello di Camerletto

We had just flown into Lyon, France and drove the 3 1/2 hours to Caselette, Italy to stay at this wonderful and romantic Castle. We were met at the front gate by one of the owners who was very happy to meet us and helped us put our bags in the elevator and then lead us up to our room after giving us a wonderful tour of the grounds. This Castle B&B is located up on a hill and overlooks the surrounding countryside and you could see the mountains off in the background. Our suite was the largest of the 3 or 4 rooms that are available to stay at in this beautiful old former Monastery that is over 1000 years old. Our room was wonderfully appointed with lots of antiques, a big king-sized bed and a huge wardrobe for us to put our clothes in. The bathroom was also huge, with two sinks, a spa tub and a separate shower. Situated on a corner, it has amazing views from both sides. There are a number of good restaurants within a 10-15 minute drive and downtown Turin is only 30 minutes away by car. Lots of parking, an electronic gate to protect your car at night. Lots of chickens, ducks and geese and a couple of dogs are on the property as well. Chantal (the owners daughter) was an absolute delight and spoke English very well. She made our wonderful breakfasts each morning with fresh eggs right from their chickens and recommended places for us to eat as well. We loved the fireplace in our room and Chantal always made sure that we had plenty of firewood each night. The room was cleaned every day and the entire place was beautifully maintained! There was also a big sitting room next to our suite that had lots of books and maps & business cards for nearby restaurants etc. We stayed there for 3 days and had an absolutely wonderful time - I wish we could've stayed there longer!
