Terrific Retreat: a cozy, central flat steps from everything!

Peering out over Carlo Emanuele square, our flat is the perfect base for exploring Turin or for engagements in study or work. Immerse yourself in culture, food, and entertainment right at your doorstep. This historic apartment, nestled in the former Jewish ghetto, features wooden ceilings and carefully selected furnishings that create a cosy, inviting atmosphere!

As you step through the small entrance, you are welcomed into a wide and comfortable living room with kitchen area. The flat offers two distinct sleeping quarters, each equipped with a double bedroom and bathroom. And, of course, abundant storage space and a host of conveniences are provided to ensure your comfort.

In 2022, we fully renovated the suite with an emphasis on energy efficiency: smart thermostatic valves, state-of-the-art heat pump air conditioning, low-energy appliances, full LED lighting, and triple-glazed wooden window frames. We've also chosen environmentally friendly materials throughout: water-based paints and coatings, and flooring made from wood or water-based resin. We prioritised hygiene, too, with suspended sanitary fittings and an air conditioning system that features an anti-Covid measure. The exterior facades of the building were also refreshed in November-December 2022.

PS: we are seasoned hosts on Vrbo! We've been in the business since 2015, and we warmly invite you to check out our Cinque Terre property #630092.

Beautiful apartment in perfect location!
Elena and Enrico were perfect hosts for this great, beautifully decorated apartment just steps away from the lively main streets of the old city of Turin! We had trouble parking our car in a nearby garage and they walked from their home to assist us and helped us get our suitcases to the apartment—suck kind, lovely people. The apartment is perfect with modern amenities. It was originally part of the old Jewish Ghetto which was closed in 1846. They have done a marvelous job of updating the home (with the original wooden ceilings intact) but also retaining its history. We could easily walk to so many places and had a grand time. Book it!

Great location
The property was very unique and in a great location. The hosts were very responsive and we enjoyed our time there. There are some quirks to the apartment to be noted. There are no curtains in the main room which overlooks a very busy courtyard. There is a great deal of cafe noise from outside on weekends and there were some mechanical noises coming from downstairs. However, once we acquired earplugs, we slept well and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The perks are, location, location, location. Great location to get around the city. The apartment was clean and modern with lovely touches. We recommend it.

Comfortable spot in Turin
We had a nice stay here. Good location on a nice piazza in the center of town, close to restaurants and attractions. The owners, Enrico and Elena, are great -- easy to work with for scheduling and then they met us at the apartment for check-in and gave us all the information we could have needed. From the design and furnishing of the apartment, it's obvious they take a lot of pride in what they have to offer here. We would return.

Renewed faith in people!
I wish I could give SIX STARS to our experience here! From beginning to end, our expectations were exceeded. Elena and Enrico were exemplary hosts, very kind, friendly, helpful. their property was EVERYTHING they wrote about it in the description of the property! They were always very prompt answering questions etc BEFORE & After we arrived! The A/C worked great. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well equipped, the views to the piazza outside our windows was super. The apartment is very well decorated, full of authentic charm, and the windows, made the apartment super quiet and a joy to stay in. The apartment even has access to an elevator! The location is wonderfully close to markets, museums, metro, restaurants, anything else one would need to feel at home and need to live. There's a Persian restaurant right at the corner where we went 3 times because the hosts were great and the food was superb. Elena and Enrico took their time to explain in detail so much about the apartment and the benefits of the location. Both bathrooms are ensuite, and well layed out. We couldn't have had a better experience and gladly recommend the apartment and Elena and Enrico to anyone looking for a stellar experience in Torino! Torino itself was a great surprise! It has so much to offer, including, a less hectic, cleaner, less crowded, with lots of history and culture. Don't miss out on this wonderful property! Grazie Mille to Elena and Enrico

Great flat in Turin
We recently stayed in Turin for four days with two middle school aged kids and found this flat to be great. Good size with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Good air con! The flat overlooks one of the popular food districts so we could easily grab coffee first thing in the morning as well as lunch or dinner with lots of options. I worried the scene (piazza) might be loud at night, but we had no issues with noise. Great location and walkable to most things. For those with little kids, I might look elsewhere as there were a lot of cool pieces of art and statues in the flat that I worried might be breakable, but it was neat to see and very different from other apartments we've stayed at during our time in Italy. The owners are also super communicative and helpful. Great flat all around!
