B&B Il Gufetto is a 3-star property located in Viverone, Piedmont, just steps from the shores of the lake of the same name and 13 km from Masino Castle.
The property is aimed at those seeking a relaxed stay in a natural setting, away from traffic yet still convenient for exploring the Canavese area and its castles. The three available rooms are all doubles, with a large bed and different outlooks: balcony, terrace or direct lake view, allowing guests to choose the setting best suited to their needs.
Among the main amenities are free private parking, WiFi at no extra cost, and a well-kept garden where guests can relax between excursions. The property is pet friendly and welcomes pets at no extra charge, also providing dedicated bowls. In the morning an Italian-style breakfast is served, while luggage storage is convenient for guests arriving or departing outside standard check-in hours. A simple, genuine base for those visiting Lake Viverone and the surrounding hills of Piedmont.
B&B Il Gufetto offers three types of double room, all designed to provide a direct connection with the lakeside scenery surrounding the property. Each room is equipped with a large double bed and can accommodate up to two people, with the option of adding a crib on request for younger children. The rooms share a simple, well-kept style, suited to couples’ stays or short breaks focused on discovering the Canavese area.
What sets the three options apart is mainly the outlook: two rooms have a balcony and a private terrace respectively, while the third offers a direct view of Lake Viverone without a dedicated outdoor space. The two rooms with balcony and terrace both measure 17 square metres, a compact but sufficient size for a couple’s stay. The choice between room types therefore mainly depends on whether guests prefer a personal outdoor space or a closer view of the water.
This 17 sq m room features a private balcony overlooking Lake Viverone, a small outdoor space ideal for breakfast or a moment of relaxation in the evening. The large double bed occupies the centre of the room, while the private bathroom completes a solution designed for those who want a personal corner with a view of the water without giving up the comfort of an outdoor space.
Identical in size to the Room with Balcony, this 17 sq m option stands out for its private terrace, larger than a simple balcony and suited to those who want to enjoy the lake view outdoors for longer. Here too, the large double bed and private bathroom ensure a comfortable stay for two people.
The only one of the three room types without a private balcony or terrace, this room compensates with a direct, close-up view of Lake Viverone. It is the property’s most essential option, designed for those who prefer the view from the window over a personal outdoor space, while still featuring the same large double bed as the other rooms.
B&B Il Gufetto offers guests a well-kept garden and free private parking directly at the property, convenient for those arriving by car to visit the lake or the surrounding Canavese area. WiFi is free throughout the property, as is luggage storage, useful for guests with arrival or departure times that differ from standard check-in.
The property is entirely non-smoking and pays particular attention to guests travelling with pets, who are welcomed at no extra charge and provided with bowls by the hosts. A fax and photocopying service is also available, and access is via keys handed over directly by the manager.
In the morning an Italian-style breakfast is served, while heating ensures comfort even in the colder months, when Lake Viverone offers particularly evocative atmospheres. Overall, the amenities offered focus on simplicity and proximity to the lake rather than elaborate facilities, in line with the property’s family-run spirit.
B&B Il Gufetto is located in the Anzasco hamlet of Viverone, a small Piedmontese town on the shores of the lake of the same name, amid the hills of the Canavese and Biellese areas. The area retains a rural, quiet character, with farmhouses and small agritourisms scattered among the vineyards and woods surrounding the lake, offering an ideal setting for those seeking a stay away from city rhythms while remaining a reasonable distance from Piedmont’s main towns.
For those travelling without a car, Salussola railway station is about 6 km away, while Vergnasco station is 7 km away. Turin Airport can be reached in about 38 km, and Milan Malpensa Airport is 56 km away, both useful connections for those arriving from outside the region. In the immediate surroundings there are several dining options, such as Jaco’s Restaurant & Co just 900 metres away and Zanzibar Village at 1.5 km, as well as Agriturismo Cascina Gaio at 1.4 km for those wishing to try local cuisine.
The Lake Viverone area is particularly popular in summer for swimming, water sports and walks along the shores, while in autumn and winter it lends itself to food and wine itineraries among the Canavese hills. Cultural destinations reachable in a day trip include Masino Castle, about 7 km away, managed by FAI, and several historic churches in nearby villages, such as the Chiesa del Gesiun at 1.3 km. Golf enthusiasts can reach Golf Club Le Betulle in just a few minutes by car.
Guests particularly appreciate the staff, rated 8.6, and the location, rated 8.2, which is especially suited to couples. Comfort and cleanliness also receive good ratings, while value for money, though positive, is the slightly lower-rated aspect among the scores.
