Relais Santo Stefano is a 4-star hotel in Sandigliano, in the province of Biella, with a seasonal outdoor pool, a fitness area and a well-kept garden surrounding the entire property.
The property is designed for those seeking a relaxing stay close to the Biella hills: the rooms, all air-conditioned and with free WiFi, range from the more compact Single Room to the 40-square-metre Suite with a separate sitting area, passing through the Junior Suite and several double room types with bathtub and garden view. Several superior rooms also offer a private balcony.
Besides the pool, guests have access to a spa area with sauna, Turkish bath, massages and a hot tub, an on-site restaurant and a bike rental service, much appreciated given the area’s cycling vocation. The multilingual staff assist guests from the 24-hour reception. Parking is free and pets are welcome on request, with a possible surcharge.
The rooms at Relais Santo Stefano share a common set-up featuring air conditioning, a private bathroom with toiletries, a satellite flat-screen TV, a minibar and a safe, with views that in most cases open onto the property’s garden. The range starts with the compact 15 sqm Single Room, designed for solo travellers, and continues with several double solutions between 18 and 20 sqm, some with a large double bed and others with a twin bed configuration, also suitable for groups of friends or families with the 30 sqm Standard Triple Room.
For those seeking more space, the property offers the 25 sqm Junior Suite and the 40 sqm Suite, the latter with a separate sitting area, a sofa bed and a coffee machine, ideal for extended stays or larger families. Several rooms, such as the Queen Superior, add a private balcony overlooking the greenery, while many units feature a bathtub rather than a simple shower, a detail that sets this property apart from others in the area.
Designed for solo travellers, this is the most compact room in the property at 15 sqm. It features a private bathroom with bathtub, bidet and hairdryer, as well as a garden view and minibar.
A 20 sqm double room with carpeted flooring and a private bathroom with shower, bidet and hairdryer. Unlike other rooms of the same size, it offers views of both the garden and the pool.
At 25 sqm, it is larger than the standard doubles and features a private bathroom with bathtub and bidet as well as a garden view, a good compromise for those seeking extra space without going all the way to the Suite.

A 20 sqm double room with a queen bed, private bathroom with bathtub and bidet, wardrobe and garden view: the simplest option among the doubles of this size.

With three single beds and 30 sqm, it is the most suitable choice for families or small groups, with a private bathroom featuring a bathtub, bidet and toiletries as well as a garden view.

Relais Santo Stefano is located in Sandigliano, a small town in the Biella area set in the Piedmont countryside among vineyards and rice fields, just a few steps from the historic centre and surrounded by its own private garden. The area retains a rural, quiet character, appreciated especially by those looking for a stay away from traffic yet still close to the main centres of the province.
The nearest railway stations are Vergnasco, about 3.2 km away, and Candelo, 3.9 km away, useful for reaching Biella in just a few minutes. Biella’s town centre, with its Santo Stefano Cathedral and the historic sites of the Piazzo district, is about 5 km away.
