"Great unique property, showers are small but nice rooms. "

"We loved the old fashioned feel of the hotel and beautiful views of Fenis castle and the mountains. The hotel was tranquil. Easy parking outside. This is an "ethical" hotel. The ethos is great, it gives young people with special needs the opportunity to gain skills and confidence in a busy hospitality environment. The young staff we met were lovely, and they are really what make the hotel. Where it falls down a little is in the management. The website for the hotel shows a lovely menu. So we booked our evening meal there, confident we had made a good choice. Once we had sat down however, we were presented with a one sheet very sparse menu of 3 starters, 3 mains and 3 desserts. Tired after many hours driving, we chose from the limited menu. The mains were a salad, a vegetable tart, and turkey escalope.Our turkey escalope was the worst meal we have ever had anywhere. Terribly oversalted and resembling a British school dinner in taste & appearance. Quite like anything we have experienced not only in Italy but anywhere in Europe. With so many traditional northern Italian dishes to draw from, one wonders why turkey was chosen. My wife's vegetable tart consisted of two tiny tartlets which were tasteless. None of us enjoyed our meal, except for the pasta starters which were good. The waitress said she would give the chef our feedback, but there was no apology. The menu on the website is misleading, bearing no resemblance to what's actually on offer, and should be amended. "

"A very nice hotel with lots of facilities. The restaurant onsite is fantastic and is certainly ‘fine dining’ as it describes itself. We will certainly be back"

"Charming staff, good food and a very comfortable room in a marvellous building."

"Hospitality was top notch. The place was super clean & comfortable. The breakfast was a nice spread, it was also pet friendly which was not good for my husband who is allergic to dogs & we didn't like the fact that the hostess kept touching & petting all the dogs in the room & then fixed plates & handeled food without washing or at the very least sanitize her hands."

"Who knew Biella was such a sophisticated town. Great art and food. Our hotel was right in the middle of town and also quiet and safe. Highly recommend The Augustus!"

"Great property if travelling by car but you definitely need a car as there's nothing around there and public transportation is non-existent."
