The Property — Nasi
Nasi is a modest, no-fuss 3-star hotel on Corso Nizza, Cuneo's main drag, with an ageing but clean interior and a small restaurant that does decent Piedmontese lunches for €12. It suits budget-conscious road-trippers or visiting relatives — think laminated furniture, a bar with sticky tables, and the front desk person somehow doubling as the barman. The USP: a central location two minutes from Piazza Galimberti and a slightly worn honesty that feels more 'local joint' than polished hotel.
Chronicles of Cuneo
Cuneo was founded in 1198 by a league of towns rebelling against the Marquis of Montferrat, built on a plateau between the Stura and Gesso rivers as a defensive outpost. The medieval grid of straight streets, rare for old Piedmont, was laid out by the Savoy dynasty, whose palaces and porticoes still define the centre. Its location made it a key Savoy fortress and later a Resistance stronghold in WWII, earning the city a Gold Medal for military valour. Today, Cuneo feels like a calm provincial capital with arcaded shopping, a small university, and a pride in its pastry shops, especially the chestnut-and-chocolate bignè that appears every autumn.
Best Time to Visit
Full Cuneo guide →Best months
May–June and September offer warm, settled weather with highs around 22–26°C, low rain, and no summer crowds — ideal for walking the market square and day trips to the Maritime Alps. October stays mild but the autumn food festivals begin, drawing locals rather than tourists.
Peak / festival surge
July–August is peak, with temperatures often hitting 30°C and August's Ferragosto week filling the few hotels. Prices at Nasi can jump 15–20% from June. The main draw is the Palio dei Borghi in early July and the Fiera del Marrone (chestnut fair) in late October.
Budget shoulder season
Late September and early November offer room rates often 20–30% below peak, with Cuneo's Baroque churches and covered market to yourself — rain increases, but so does the mushroom-and-chestnut season's atmosphere.
Weather & packing
Cuneo sits in a climate bowl that can be stuffy in summer yet prone to sudden afternoon thunderstorms that drop 10°C in 20 minutes. Pack a light waterproof jacket and layers even in July — a T-shirt and shorts won't cut it after 5pm.
Live City Briefing — Cuneo
- Cuneo's main square, Piazza Galimberti, is fully repaved since 2024 with new benches and lighting — the weekly Saturday market now uses the whole space again.
- The Stura river cycle path has been extended 8 km north toward Borgo San Dalmazzo, ideal for easy morning rides from the hotel (bike hire at Cicli Marcello on Via Roma).
- Trenitalia's new direct Cuneo–Turin 'Freccia' service runs four times daily since March 2025, cutting the journey from 1h45 to 1h15 — check for summer timetable changes before your visit.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Nasi, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third or fourth floor facing the internal courtyard (if available). These upper floors avoid street-level rumble and the courtyard cuts traffic noise.
Rooms to avoid
Steer clear of rooms on the first floor, especially those at the front: street noise from Cuneo’s main boulevards will be persistent. Also skip rooms near the lift shaft on any floor — the lift is old and clanks.
Best views
If you get a courtyard-facing room on floor 4, you might see the rooftops and distant Alps on a clear day. Street view shows Cuneo’s historic arcades — pretty but noisy.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest. The hotel has no fifth floor, so top-floor rooms are also good due to no overhead footfall.
🔊 Noise notes
Cuneo’s main streets have morning market traffic (especially Saturday) and evening motorbikes. The hotel’s bar on the ground floor can hum until 11 pm; rooms directly above the bar will pick up bass.
Insider tips
1. Request a courtyard-facing room by phone or note on booking — most guests default to street side. 2. Check in after 2 pm to avoid waiting; reception can be understaffed at lunch. Also, ask for a room on floor 3 or 4 if you care about quiet mornings.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
