After a friendly reception by Domenico and our introduction into a lovely, cool space, this stay turned into a nightmare. We had chosen this "B & B" with air conditioning as a top priority, as the temperature was often above 100 F (38 C) last week in Turin. We soon learned that the "Bed" was fine, but "Breakfast" could be found on... the street...just as if we hadn't chosen a B & B. But that was acceptable: at least we wouldn't count on it. We did count on the AC though, and out host controlled it and simply wouldn't keep it for more than a few minutes, saying--at his most committal--"vedremo" (we'll see). What we saw was mercury rising. We contacted him three times and that AC never got the room cool again, turning off for the evening and then for the whole night and into the morning. We just couldn't sleep: it was hotter inside than in the hall or even, incredibly, outside. After sarcastic texts and a no-show--his texts had him arriving to discuss the problem in 10, 20, then thirty minutes and, in reality, never. We paid the 70% asked by Hotels.com for the three nights despite leaving after one sweaty, frustrated night We checked into a cooler hotel with better service, and slept well that night.
