New picturesque and central penthouse, with a splendid view of the mountains

The house is located in the historic center of the city, in the Balôn district, between the Dora river and the old market, just a 5-minute walk from Turin Cathedral; this is the perfect location to comfortably discover the true heart of the city.

At Balounette we do not apply extra costs for end of stay cleaning! We will be happy to welcome guests who leave the accommodation tidy and in good condition, providing only an ordinary cleaning service. Otherwise a payment of 20 euros will be required on your departure for extra ordinary cleaning (dirty dishes in the sink, dustbin scattered around the house etc).

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!

The House is located in the very historical center of Turin, between the river Dora and the ancient market, just 5 minutes by walk from Turin's main church: this is the perfect location to discover the city from its authentic heart.

At La Balounette we do not charge extra costs for end-of-stay cleaning! We will be pleased to welcome guests who leave the accommodation tidy and in good condition, providing only an ordinary cleaning service.

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!

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.

Nice apartment in fascinating neighborhood
Well designed, comfortable, bright apartment in lively multiethnic neighborhood, and with very nice host. Quiet on weekdays; on weekends the presence of a nearby dance club made sleep a bit difficult - but no more than other big cities in Italy. (We were also unlucky that the apartment right below us was being remodeled.) we loved the location and the neighborhood, and enjoyed the Saturday flea market. Lots of good restaurants and friendly people. You will like it!

Gut ausgestattetes Apartment in zentraler Lage
Das Apartment liegt unweit der Markthalle und des Zentrums von Turin. Wesentliche Ziele sind zu Fuß oder mit der Tram (4,16) gut zu erreichen. Die Ausstattung des Apartments lässt keinen Wunsch offen. Auch bei hoch sommerlichen Temperaturen lässt sich die Wohnung angenehm kühl halten. In unmittelbarer Nähe gibt es Parkmöglichkeiten. Eine Auswahl attraktiver Cafés und Bars gibt es in direkter Nachbarschaft. Matteo gab gute Restaurant Empfehlungen. Wir empfehlen diese Adresse für einen mehrtägigen Aufenthalt in Turin.

November in Turin
We had a wonderful holiday in Matteo's flat in Turin. The flat is very comfortable, very well-equipped and with a view of the mountains beyond the rooftops. We were lucky to have marvellous weather in November and so the city and the view seemed all the more beautiful. The flat is very well-situated to visit the city on foot. There is an open air market just nearby and then other sights easily reached. There are so many restaurants you are just spoiled for choice. Matteo gave us very clear instructions concerning arrival and departure and there is lots of helpful literature about the city in the flat. I would recommend this place and if we return to Turin, we would go again.

Appartement centre Turin
Appartement bien aménagé exception faite d'une machine à capsules de café de bas de gamme. Le café obtenu ressemble plus à de l'eau teintée qu'à un café correct. On est bien loin des standards italiens et si vous n'avez pas prévu une alternative il n'y a aucune autre solution proposée Le parking au pied de l'immeuble est très utilisé, non réservé aux résidents de l'immeuble, et par des personnes peu respectueuses à n'occuper que leur place sans empiéter sur les voisines. Bien que l'appartement soit au centre de Turin, avec à proximité toutes les facilités touristiques, c'est un quartier très peu reluisant. Malgré ses réserves agréable séjour.

Great flat in the center of Torino
Matteo's flat is placed very close to the Torino city center, and everything is within walking distance. The flat is very nice and well equipped and you will find everything you need for a nice stay. We stayed in Torino while it was very hot and as a consequence of the extreme temperatures the AC in the flat was highly challenged, and not able to bring the inside temperature below 27 degrees. If you want to experience Torino from a nice central located flat Matteo's flat is highly recommended.

Echte aanrader voor een verzoek aan Turijn. Alles goed te doen te voet, met parking voor de wagen die je enkel hoeft te gebruiken voor bezoekjes buiten de stad, vb Superga. Matteo geeft je alle info die maar kan wensen over appartement en de stad zonder overdrijven. Zelfs de 13 dagen die we er verbleven waren een vreugde in dit appartement.
