Il Meriggio – Rooms & Breakfast is a family-run guest house located in Mezzenile, a small municipality in the Lanzo Valleys about 40 km from Turin. The property, entirely non-smoking, is aimed at those looking for a quiet stay surrounded by Piedmontese greenery, away from city traffic yet still reachable by car from the provincial capital.
The rooms, all with private bathrooms, are divided between the Double Room with Private Bathroom, furnished with toiletries and bathrobes, and the Suite, designed for those who want a more private space with a large double bed. Some rooms offer a pleasant view of the surrounding mountains, a detail that makes the stay particularly scenic for those arriving from the plains.
Every morning a buffet breakfast is served with Italian options and gluten-free choices, an aspect much appreciated by those with specific dietary needs. The garden, free WiFi throughout the property and free private parking complete an offering designed especially for couples and small groups looking for peace and quiet among the woods of the Lanzo Valleys, a short distance from traditional restaurants and hiking trails.
Il Meriggio offers two types of accommodation designed to host up to two people each, both with a private bathroom and toiletries. The Double Room with Private Bathroom is furnished with a large double bed, a seating area and an electric kettle, and in some cases overlooks a pleasant view of the surrounding mountains that characterises much of the property.
The Suite, the second available type, offers a space organised like a small apartment with a separate bedroom and an entirely private bathroom, ideal for those seeking greater independence during their stay. Both accommodations share the same essential, well-kept layout, with a flat-screen TV and hairdryer, while the main differences concern the arrangement of the spaces and the level of privacy offered, which is more pronounced in the Suite thanks to its layout similar to a small independent unit.
This double room is the property’s most classic accommodation, with a private bathroom featuring a shower, bidet and hairdryer. The space includes a seating area, a wardrobe and an electric kettle, while the window often offers a view of the mountains surrounding Mezzenile. A set of toiletries with bathrobes completes the amenities, making it the ideal choice for those seeking simplicity and essential comfort.
Unlike the double room, the Suite is organised with a separate sleeping area and an entirely private bathroom for exclusive use, designed for those who want more privacy during their stay. The layout of the spaces resembles that of a small independent apartment, while still keeping the same basic amenities as the rest of the property.
Il Meriggio offers guests a well-kept garden, ideal for moments of relaxation away from city life, and free WiFi available throughout the property. Those travelling by car can rely on free private parking directly on site, a valuable benefit for anyone staying in a mountain area such as the Lanzo Valleys.
The property is entirely non-smoking, including all rooms, and has heating to ensure comfort even in the colder seasons. Every room has a private bathroom, a distinctive feature for a guest house of this size.
To complete the offering, breakfast is served every morning with buffet options, both Italian and gluten-free, designed to accommodate different dietary needs. Together, these services make Il Meriggio a practical and peaceful base for exploring the area.
Il Meriggio – Rooms & Breakfast is located in Mezzenile, a small municipality in the Lanzo Valleys, in a residential area characterised by stone houses and private gardens, reachable via a stretch of unpaved road not suitable for all types of vehicles. The surroundings are typical of the Piedmontese mountains, with woods and meadows surrounding the village and creating a quiet environment, far from the pace of city life.
