Room types

The three rooms at Affittacamere il Gallo Panoramico share the same basic layout: 9 square metres each, an independent entrance, air conditioning, soundproofing and a private balcony overlooking the garden with views of the surrounding mountains. Each unit has a private bathroom with shower, bidet and hairdryer, as well as a coffee machine, a flat-screen TV and bed linen provided by the property, elements that ensure a comfortable stay even for short periods.

What sets the room types apart is mainly the bed configuration: from the Double Room with a large double bed, to the Twin Room with a View designed for those travelling together but who prefer separate beds, up to the Double Room with an extra-large double bed, the largest in terms of available bed space. All rooms accommodate a maximum of two guests, making the property particularly suited to couples and small groups seeking independence.

Location & what to see

Donato is a small town in the Biellese area perched on the morainic hills of the Anfiteatro di Ivrea, a region of vineyards, woods and rural villages halfway between Turin and the Aosta Valley. Affittacamere il Gallo Panoramico is located on Via Walter Fillak, in the heart of this hilly landscape, with Cantina del Gallo and the restaurant La Campagnola just a short walk away, literally 20 and 30 metres from the front door.

Turin Airport is about 40-51 km away depending on the route, while Milan Malpensa Airport is about 61 km away, making the property reachable even for those arriving by air from outside the region. Castello di Masino is 23 km away, Forte di Bard 25 km, and Castello San Giuseppe just over 4 km away.

The area is a benchmark for trekking and outdoor life lovers: nearby there are several adventure parks such as Pian Cit and Pian Gros, the Le Betulle Golf Club about 5 km away, and historic sites such as the Santuario del Monte Stella and the Ivrea Cathedral. In summer, the hills are perfect for long walks and bike rides among the vineyards, while in winter the proximity to the Aosta Valley opens the way to alpine ski destinations, with the Saint-Vincent Casino reachable in about 47 km for a different kind of evening.
