The apartment is located on the top floor (top floor), accessed via a lift or condominium stairs and enjoys excellent quiet and silence; it has a comfortable BEDROOM with a 2m long mattress, therefore also suitable for taller people like me! There is a walk-in closet where you can hang clothes comfortably, a chest of drawers and shelves for sweaters and sweaters.

THE KITCHEN is equipped with everything you need; oven, dishwasher, microwave, Nespresso coffee machine, induction hob (there is no gas in the house and this makes it safer for guests too). A small survival kit is also provided with the usual things you don't take on vacation like salt, sugar, oil etc .. the famous "basics"!

IN THE LIVING ROOM there is a double sofa bed for any additional guests, a TV with DVD player and an audio system, as well as some books and magazines available! The sofa can be prepared as a single bed ONLY for bookings of 3 people.

IN THE BATHROOM there is a washing machine, a large well-lit mirror, a hairdryer, a comfortable shower with a large shower head that gives great satisfaction;)

There is WIFI as well as air conditioning.

Heating is centralized with independent thermovalves.

For maximum security, the house is equipped with an armored door.

In the apartment you will find clean sheets and towels together with a small welcome kit consisting of shampoo, soap, shower gel, a bottle of water and a little sweet thought.

For any questions, problems or advice, they are available to guests and it will be a pleasure to help you with information on museums, places not to be missed and advice on restaurants etc. Inside the apartment you will find some tourist material about Turin and above all my precious and personal guide on where to eat well in the city!

Turin Visit
Matteo was very responsive to all our needs and was very communicative. Much appreciated! The sunsets looking at the Swiss Alps was amazing! Dinner at the local restaurant Matteo suggested one block away was very good! The Saturday Flea Market was very peculiar as the locals come out in droves to sell just about everything. Caio!

Great Apartment
Matteo is a very attentive host, and gives lots of excellent information and orientation, and the apartment has plenty of tourist information. Apartment is on 6th floor, with a small lift, and is very clean and well appointed, bed was very comfortable, compact kitchen well stocked and equipped. Very nice balcony with lovely view of the mountains. We enjoyed being close to the market. Three of the nights there was noise from the Il Maglio Restaurant (karaoke?). The area and to the north is a bit rough but did not cause us any particular problems.

Great apartment, great neighborhood, fantastic host!
We had a fabulous time staying in Matteo’s apartment in Borgo Dora. Super comfortable bed, great shower, and truly delightful balcony. The kitchen would have served us well if we didn’t go out to eat each night! The apartment is in a great area: very close to the city center and just around the corner from a lovely little gelato shop and several excellent bar/cafes. In addition to all this, Matteo was an extremely hospitable and accommodating host: super communicative and very flexible. We would absolutely stay here again if we are back in Turin — and knowing the apartment is there, it makes us want to return!

Very nice apartment close to city center!
Matteo's property was perfect for our 3 day stay in Turin - it had most of the essentials we needed and it was great being able to go to the grocery store and make several meals at home. The balconies were great for enjoying a glass of wine and the sunsets were gorgeous over the Alps. The apartment is about a 15-20 minutes walk from the city center, but the walk is easy and full with fun sights, such as the bustling food market, the cathedral of San Giovanni Battista (where the Shroud of Turin is housed), and the Roman city gate ruins. We loved Turin and hope you will too!

Wonderful Views
The apartment was perfect! Very comfortable! Fantastic views! Beautifully decorated! It was near the central market where we love to shop and in walking distance to everything else (museums, galleries, etc). We had a car and parking on the street was easy for the duration of our stay. Matteo was very responsive and answered all our questions immediately. We are regular visitors to Turin and will definitely stay at this apartment again.
