About this property

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.

Look no further, Perfection.. On all levels!
From the greeting at the door, to every single detail (lots of hangers, big closets, spices, GOOD toilet paper, comfy beds and pillows, laundry soap, dish soap, lots of paper towels, suggestions on restaurants, things to do.. etc.).. they definitely care about you when they open the door to their home! The location was perfect! We walked to every thing including a grocery store. This was our final place to stay on our two week adventure through Italy/paris and was our favorite place!! This was a home not a bed and bathrooms. Beautifully decorated. Updated, easy to get comfy in! We want to come back and stay for a month!! Thank you for sharing your home with us!! We will be back!!

Absolutely perfect!
From beginning to end, our stay at this charming flat was all that we had hoped for in Torino. Right on the palazzo, we felt embraced by local life and the culture of this wonderful city. The flat itself was spotlessly clean and well appointed with comfortable beds. Our host was helpful and communicative and made us feel welcome from the get-go. I will absolutely stay here again if I am back in Torino.

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.

Our Stay In Turin
Enrico and Elena's apartment in Turin was absolutely the best VRBO we have ever stayed in. It was if course clean and safe. However it was also beautiful because it was decorated and furnished with antiques and antiquities. Enrico met us at the apartment and made the check in really easy. It overlooks the Carlo Emanuele square. It was roomy and about a 20 minute walk from the train station. We would definitely stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Enrico and Elena

Host profile image
We are Enrico and Elena, an enthusiastic couple in our fifties with two adult children, Marco and Claudia. We are currently living in Torino, not too far from the Carlina House. As Italians with a deep passion for travel, art, and nature, we've built fulfilling careers that align with our interests. Enrico, an architect, and Elena, an antique dealer, we've crafted a lifestyle that blends our love for the aesthetically pleasing with our fervour for exploration and discovery.

Why they chose this property

You're not just stepping into an apartment, but into a slice of history. This is the Jewish Ghetto of Turin, established in 1679 by the directive of the regent, Maria Giovanna Battista of Nemours. It has the distinction of being the first of its kind to be built in Piedmont. The coffered ceilings of our house, while slightly low, will give you a comforting sense of protection. The ambience of the tastefully furnished apartment combined with the noise-proof windows offers a serene setting for work, rest, and leisure time undisturbed.

What makes this property unique

Our property is not just a space; it's a blend of history, comfort, and unrivaled location. 1) Historical Charm: nestled in the heart of Turin's Jewish Ghetto, our apartment breathes life into the city's rich history. The 17th-century architecture enhanced by modern comforts offers a unique stay that intertwines the old with the new. 2) Thoughtful design: the property features beautifully coffered ceilings and tastefully selected furnishings, reflecting our personal taste as an architect and an antique dealer. Our focus on detail extends to functionality as well, with state-of-the-art energy-efficient appliances and noise-proof windows ensuring a comfortable and serene stay. 3) Location, Location, Location: Situated in downtown Turin, our apartment provides immediate access to the city's vibrant cultural, culinary, and retail scene. With museums, historical cafés, shopping venues, and picturesque squares just a few steps away, you can soak up the best of Turin right from your doorstep. 4) Personal touch: this is our family's second home, imbued with love and warmth and now, we're opening it up for you to create your own memories. The house is not just a rental; it's a home away from home. 5) In short, our property offers a unique blend of historical allure, modern comfort, and central location, all underpinned by a personal touch that we believe makes it truly stand out.
