Hotel Palazzo Lovera is a 4-star hotel set inside a historic building in the centre of Cuneo, once home to noble families and the stage for illustrious visits: King Francis I gave his own armour to the owner, while Pope Pius VII elevated Cuneo to an independent diocese. Today the property retains this period charm while pairing it with services designed for both leisure and business stays, suitable for couples and families alike.
The rooms, furnished in classic style, come with air conditioning, satellite TV and a fully equipped private bathroom; the range spans from the 19 sqm Double Room to the Family Suite with two bedrooms measuring 50 sqm, able to accommodate up to six people. The Lovera Restaurant serves traditional Piedmontese dishes made with local produce, while guests can relax in the sauna or work out in the indoor fitness centre.
The location, in the pedestrian area of the historic centre, is one of the most appreciated features: it is 30 km from the Maritime Alps and about an hour’s drive from the border with France. Private parking makes arriving by car easier despite the evening traffic restriction zone in the area.

Sizes range from 19 sqm for the standard double rooms to 60 sqm for the Deluxe Family Room, with intermediate options designed for different needs, from couples travelling together to large families.
The Junior Suite stands out for its separate sitting area, while the Family Suite with two bedrooms offers space divided across two rooms to ensure privacy between parents and children, with a minibar, safe and electric kettle. The Quadruple Room and the Deluxe Family Room combine single and double beds to accommodate groups of up to six people, while the Deluxe Room remains the most compact and intimate choice for stays for two.
