L’altro Tempo is a family-run guest house located in Vercelli, Piedmont, featuring a garden and terrace, and appreciated by couples with a location score of 9.4.
The property occupies a residential building just a short walk from the city’s historic centre and offers three room types, all with a private bathroom fitted with bidet and hairdryer, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV. Some units, such as the larger double room and the single room, also feature a private balcony, while all rooms include a wardrobe and an electric kettle for making tea and coffee, designed for those seeking a simple and informal stay.
The central location makes it possible to reach Vercelli railway station on foot in just a few minutes, as well as the Abbey of Sant’Andrea and the city’s Cathedral. Milan Malpensa Airport is about 52 km away, making the property convenient also for those arriving by car or train from outside the region. An address suited to those looking for a quiet pied-à-terre to explore Vercelli and its surrounding countryside.
The three rooms at L’altro Tempo share essential amenities designed for a practical stay: private bathroom with shower and bidet, air conditioning, flat-screen TV, wardrobe and an electric kettle for tea and coffee. The main differences concern the size and bed type, so as to suit different needs, from couples to solo travellers.
The larger Double Room with Private Bathroom, at 16 sqm, features a balcony and a large double bed, while the second variant of the same room type, more compact at 13 sqm, offers a French double bed with no outward-facing view. The Single Room with Private Bathroom, at 10 sqm, is designed for solo travellers and also includes a balcony as well as a small dining area with table and wardrobe, a rare detail for an accommodation of this size.
This is the largest room in the property, with 16 sqm of space and a private balcony that the other double rooms do not have. The private bathroom features a shower and bidet, while air conditioning and a flat-screen TV complete a setup designed for a comfortable stay as a couple.
More compact than the double room with balcony, this 13 sqm room offers a French double bed and has no outward-facing view, making it quieter. A private bathroom with shower and bidet, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV make it a practical solution for an essential stay.
Designed for solo travellers, this is the only room with a single bed and, despite its 10 sqm, includes a small dining area with table, as well as a private balcony. The private bathroom with shower and bidet and air conditioning complete a compact yet functional solution.
L’altro Tempo provides guests with outdoor common areas such as a garden and terrace, ideal for relaxing during the warmer months, in a property that is entirely non-smoking and equipped with heating for the colder months. Air conditioning is present in all rooms, as is a flat-screen TV for evening entertainment.
Each room has a private bathroom with shower, bidet, towels and hairdryer, as well as a set for making tea and coffee, convenient for a self-catered breakfast. Every unit also includes a wardrobe or closet, while some rooms also offer a dining area with a dedicated table.
Pets are welcome upon request and at no extra charge, a detail that makes the property a practical choice for those travelling with their dog or cat. Parking is also available for those arriving by car.
L’altro Tempo is set in a quiet residential area of Vercelli, a short distance from the city’s historic centre, the capital of the Piedmontese rice fields known for its religious architectural heritage. The surrounding neighbourhood is mainly residential, with small bars and restaurants that allow you to experience the city as a local would, away from the more touristy circuits.
Vercelli railway station is just 650 metres away, a convenient link for those arriving without a car or wishing to travel to Turin or Milan. About 900 metres away, on foot, is the Abbey of Sant’Andrea, one of the city’s main Romanesque-Gothic monuments, while the Cathedral is about 1 km away. Milan Malpensa Airport can be reached in about 52 km, and Turin Airport in about 60 km: both make the property an accessible base also for those arriving from outside the region.
For those wishing to explore the historic centre, the Avogadro Tower and the Castle, both within 1.5 km, offer a glimpse into the city’s medieval architecture, while the many historic churches nearby (Santa Caterina, Santo Spirito, San Michele) are worth a couple of hours’ walk. In spring and summer, the Vercelli countryside, famous for its flooded rice fields, is a popular destination for bike rides along country roads, while in autumn the grape harvest and local festivals bring the surrounding villages to life.
