Il Chiostro Hostel and Hotel

The Hostel Ostello Santa Maria di Castello is part of the Italian Youth Hostels (AIG). It is situated in a sixteenth-century cloister with a large green space in the oldest district of the city. Thanks to the geographical position of Alessandria, the structure becomes an excellent base from which to discover all of the Monferrato with its landscape of rolling hills covered with vineyards and ancient villages with castles steeped in history. This area has recently become a World Heritage Site. Alessandria is also the culmination of AutoZug that allows travelers to Central Europe to travel with car and motorcycle in tow, and being our city at the center of an important crossroads, the hostel can be a great base to move towards important cities such as Turin, Milan and Genoa, which are less than an hour's journey by car or by train.
