Il Paladino

Il Paladino is a three-star hotel in Sciolze, a small hilltop village in the Piedmontese countryside east of Turin, sitting within the wine and truffle territory of the Chieri hills. At this altitude and in this kind of rural setting, the hotel functions less as a transit point and more as a destination in itself — a place where the surrounding landscape is part of the stay rather than backdrop to it.

With a rating of 9.0 across 108 reviews, the property earns consistent praise that points to a well-run, personally managed house. Family rooms are available, which makes it a practical choice for parents who want to give children a slower, greener alternative to city tourism without sacrificing comfort.

Guests arriving from Turin or the airport will find that free on-site parking removes a friction point that rural hotels sometimes overlook — there are no pedestrian zones or permit complications here, just a straightforward arrival. Check-in opens at 16:00, leaving the afternoon free for a drive through the hills before settling in, and the morning unfolds at a reasonable pace with check-out at 11:00, time enough to sit down for what guests consistently describe as an excellent breakfast before heading onward.
