Piedmont - Luxury

Piedmont is a region in western Italy which is best-known for two things: its mountainous landscapes and its bourgeois refinement. The region is also home to Turin, a city which features urban sophistication, rich history and is home to the Holy Shroud.

Many of the sights in Turin are within walking distance from the Piazza Castello, a beautiful landscaped park in front of the city's train station. The Duomo di San Giovanni is a 15th-century cathedral which features impressive black marble walls inside its Chapel of the Holy Shroud. The Holy Shroud is a sheet of linen which is thought by many to be the burial shroud of Jesus Christ, bearing an imprint of his crucified body.

Chocolate lovers flock to Al Bicerin in Turin to taste the house specialty, the bicerin, a hot drink with layers of chocolate, coffee and cream. Al Bicerin also features many other indulgent treats, including warm eggnogs, chocolate-flavoured pasta, and other chocolates. Visitors can ride a cog train up the hill from Sassi up the Superga hill to get a magnificent view of the Alps. The hilltop is home to the Parco Naturale Collina Torinese, a tranquil and beautiful park. The park features well-marked, wooded trails, making the area perfect for hiking.

At Al Garamond, visitors can get a taste of meat and seafood dishes infused with a native flair. Specialties include turbot wrapped in sliced potatoes and baked in Barbera wine. The restaurant also features many delectable desserts, including licorice mousse with white chocolate sauce.
