DORA maison de charme

DORA maison de charme is a guest house located in the historic centre of Ivrea, a short walk from the Cathedral and the Castle, designed for those seeking a well-appointed stay in Piedmont just steps from the Dora Baltea river.

The four rooms, all with private bathroom fitted with bidet and courtesy set, offer air conditioning, flat-screen TV, minibar and coffee machine: details that make the stay practical even for short visits. Some units overlook the river, others the city, and the largest, designed for families or small groups, includes a double bed and two sofa beds.

Breakfast, served on site, is a buffet with continental and Italian options. Room service and free WiFi round out an offer geared toward guests who want to move comfortably on foot among the monuments of Ivrea, a UNESCO World Heritage city for its Olivetti industrial architecture. Guests particularly appreciate the central location, also ideal for couples, and the chance to go hiking and cycling along the Dora and in the surrounding hills.

Plan your stay at DORA maison de charme

Charming guest house in the historic heart of Ivrea, with buffet breakfast, air conditioning in every unit and rooms overlooking the Dora river or the city centre.

Room types

The four room types offered by DORA maison de charme share a common set of comforts: private bathroom with bidet, courtesy set and bathrobe, air conditioning, flat-screen TV, minibar and coffee machine, plus bed linen and towels always included. These are solutions designed for both short and extended stays, with particular attention to the view, which in some cases opens onto the Dora river and in others onto the urban fabric of the historic centre of Ivrea.

The range goes from the King Deluxe Room and its twin with single beds, both around 22 sqm with river view, to the King Room with Balcony, which adds a private outdoor space and a city view. The Double Room with Extra Bed, the most spacious at 40 sqm, is designed for families or small groups thanks to the two additional sofa beds, while still retaining all the comforts of the other units.
