Garibaldi Suite

The location is perfect!

The property is very well located, about 15 mins walk from Porta Susa and 15 mins walk to the main sights on a pedestrian street. It is in an old building but has a lift which is great for us. Property is cozy and spacious (comfortably sleeps 4), some things are a bit old but all functional. Marco who checked us in was very helpful, answering our questions late at night and helped us order taxis to the airport.

The configuration of the toilet is very interesting. There are 2 toilets but they share a common entrance so if you are not family, it would be rather awkward. The shower is function but small and a bit difficult getting in and out of it.

I appreciated that I was greeted and assisted with my luggage. The apartment is of a decent size and the furniture has character. It was also kind of them to not force me to go to an ATM for the city tax (which they insisted be paid in cash) when I’d arrived exhausted.

The area is decidedly dicey, the bathrooms had a strong unpleasant musty smell (which was masked by the fact that all the windows were open when I arrived), the noise leakage from the street was extreme (the windows are not double glazed and you can literally hear every word in the conversations people are having out on the street), the lift in the building is very small. The shower is ridiculously tiny (but there are two bathrooms side by side for some reason). For the price I paid, I could’ve stayed at a hotel in the centre. I’m astounded at the positive feedback as I have rarely been more uncomfortable anywhere I’ve stayed.

Old Turin from the 1800s still exists. Beautiful old feel to the place. But what modernity we are used to and need are also there and work perfectly.

I liked everything.

La posizione è eccezionale, super consigliata. Sotto casa c'è un bar pasticceria straordinario e si può rientrare a qualsiasi ora in sicurezza

The apartment exudes old world charm … a very unique place to call home It is walking distance to all the major attractions in Turin including some wonderful restaurants and the shopping district. There is also a daily market with clothing, household goods and food open every day in the street just behind the apartment. There are also supermarkets nearby. Marco was very helpful with advice on places to see in the city he loves and was always available.

Because of the age of the apartment (300 years) some of the fittings are less than modern and therefore not quite as convenient as in a modern apartment. You won’t find any IKEA here … it’s all authentic The host is in the process of improving some of the fittings.

This was our third stay in this apartment. We love it and hope to stay here again. See our other reviews for more details.

My husband and I really love Torino and have visited many times, staying in hotels and also other private rentals. The Garibaldi Suite is by far the most comfortable, elegant and centrally located place we’ve stayed. It’s great to have an equipped kitchen for teas and coffees or making a meal. (In case there aren’t enough restaurants in Turin!🤣) Loved our stay and would stay again if we are fortunate enough to find it available.

Everything was great, and we appreciate Giulio coming in to meet us and give the keys later than anticipated because of a late flight.
