Chronicles of Cuneo
Cuneo, the 'City of a Hundred Towers', boasts a rich history dating back to the 12th century. Founded by the Savoy family, the city's strategic location made it a crucial hub for trade and commerce. Over the centuries, Cuneo's architecture evolved, with the addition of medieval and Baroque styles, resulting in the unique blend of historic and modern buildings that characterise the city today. Cuneo is also famous for its role in the Piedmontese independence movement, the 'Statuto Albertino', which led to the unification of Italy. The city's cultural identity is deeply rooted in its history, reflected in its museums, festivals, and traditional festivals like the 'Festa della Madonna della Neve'.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Residence Gildo, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
We recommend requesting rooms on higher floors (4th and above) at Residence Gildo, considering the hotel's address on Via Vittorio Emanuele III, a relatively busy street in Cuneo. This should minimize potential street noise. Additionally, as the hotel has a lift, requesting a room closer to the lift might be a good idea to reduce walking distance. However, be aware that rooms closest to the lift may experience some vibration from the lift's operation.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms 101-103 on the ground floor, as they might be closer to the service entrance and potentially noisy. Rooms near the bar area (if present) could also be noisy, especially if there are events or music.
Best views
Given the hotel's address on Via Vittorio Emanuele III, rooms on higher floors (4th and above) facing east or west might offer a view of the surrounding cityscape, including the nearby hills and mountains.
Quietest floors
Floors 2-3 are likely to be relatively quiet, given their mid-range position in the building and distance from the street and lift.
🔊 Noise notes
Be prepared for potential street noise from Via Vittorio Emanuele III, which can be busier than usual, especially during rush hours or when there are events in the city. The hotel's location in the city center means there's always some background noise.
Insider tips
Ask for a room with a balcony for a bit more space and a view, if possible. Keep in mind that balconies might be small. If you're driving, consider parking in one of the designated parking lots nearby, as on-street parking can be limited and may incur fines.
- 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
