Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Sant' Anna, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor, ideally 3rd or 4th floor, as these are likely to be away from the street noise of Via Santena and the potential hubbub of the nearby bars and restaurants. These floors are also likely to have easier access to the lift, which is a single-person lift, and may be less prone to noise from the service entrance.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor, as they may be noisier due to the proximity to the street and potential foot traffic. Also, be cautious of rooms near the service entrance, as this may lead to noise from deliveries and staff activity.
Best views
Unfortunately, the address on Via Santena doesn't offer stunning views, but rooms on the higher floors may have a glimpse of the surrounding rooftops or the city's skyline.

Top Attractions in Turin
💡 Go on a Saturday morning for the biggest selection and best energy. Bring cash; most stallholders don't take cards. Try a focaccia with mortadella from the bread vendors.
💡 Go up to the Borgo Medievale at the south end; it’s a free open-air museum of medieval architecture. Also a good spot for watching the sunset over the river.
💡 Walk up from the Sassi district via the scenic pathway (30–40 mins) rather than taking the rack railway for a cheaper – and more atmospheric – route. The church interior is free; the crypt costs a small fee.
💡 Entry is free for under-18s and reduced for 18-25 year-olds with ID. On the first Sunday of each month, entry is free for all from 10am–2pm, but arrive early to avoid long queues.
💡 Visit on a clear day for the best Alps views; morning light is less harsh for photos. The lift costs €10 but the ground floor foyer and building exterior are free to see.
