Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to La Vijà, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (3rd or 4th floor) to minimize potential street noise from Strada Tetti Lusso, which is a relatively quiet residential street in Chieri but may still experience some noise from passing traffic. Also, consider a room at the back of the hotel to avoid any noise from the service entrance or lift.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor, as they may be closer to the service entrance and potentially noisier. Also, rooms near the lift may experience noise from the lift's operation, especially if it's an older model.
Best views
