Amid the shimmering waters of the Vercelli countryside and the rolling hills of Monferrato lies the Convento Resort, a place where the past and present blend in perfect harmony. Built in 1475 by the will of Guglielmo VIII Paleologo, this historic building, surrounded by rice fields and close to the sacred Bosco delle Sorti, is a testament to elegance and history through the centuries.
Its 19th-century façade, framed by blooming gardens and shaded paths, welcomes guests with grace and charm. Today, after a meticulous restoration completed in 2011, the Convento has become a resort hotel that combines ancient charm with modern comfort, preserving its tradition of hospitality.
The hotel features 13 bright and comfortable rooms, thoughtfully decorated and inspired by the natural colors of the surrounding landscape. The suites offer privacy and convenience, while common areas such as gardens and cozy lounges invite relaxation. Every detail, from curtains to bed linens, reflects the beauty of the outdoor scenery, creating a unique atmosphere.
Enhancing the Convento’s appeal is the Church of Maria Ausiliatrice, a consecrated chapel dating back to the early 20th century, where religious and civil ceremonies can be celebrated. This venue is also ideal for weddings and bespoke events, with elegant 18th-century pavilions adding to its charm.
A highlight of the Convento is the Massimo Restaurant, relocated in 2011 from its historic city-center location. Led by Chef Giorgio Bonato, it offers a cuisine that celebrates local ingredients, such as truffles, mushrooms, and frogs, while incorporating international influences. Recognized by prestigious gastronomic guides, the restaurant stands out for its quality and creativity, complemented by an extensive selection of wines and spirits.
The Convento of Trino is more than a resort: it is a journey through the beauty, flavors, and history of a treasured corner of Piedmont.
