Lovely Apartment, Lovely Host
We are three 'mature' female friends, two on their first trip to Italy, who stayed in this apartment for 10 nights. We arrived at Rossana's beautiful Loft Apartment in Turin and there she was waiting for us with a warm welcome. The apartment is very comfortable, very spacious and very clean; with everything that's needed for a nice vacation stay in a lovely City. The #13 tram, right across the Street, was a daily ritual for us. It takes you to the Piazza's, to the Museums, to the theatre, to the Mole Antonelliana, where you can go up to the tower and have a magnificent view of the City, to Via Roma and Via Po, where shopping is great! Though you don't have to go too far to shop for your daily baked goods and great coffee or fresh fruits and vegetables, these are a couple of doors down from the apartment entrance. Also, the wine shop right next door is absolutely wonderful! with not only wine but lot's of other Italian staples. There is also a bookstore in the corner, a newspaper shop (Tabacchi shop) where you could get your bus/tram tickets. The meat market to the right and across the Street is just wonderful, with daily fresh cuts of meat. We had fun purchasing fresh food in the neighborhood and making some authentic Italian meals. Also, there are some good Pizzeria's, Cafe's, Gelato shops and a PAM supermarket just a few minutes walk away. This is the perfect neighborhood to stay in during a visit to Turin; everyone is so accommodating and friendly and patient with us as we kept saying 'Parlo poco Italiano.' One more thing is the train stations, Porta Nuova & Porta Susa are just a bus/tram, or taxi ride away. We went on the train to Genoa and Milan and it was very easy and cheap too!
Though the most important thing is that the host, Rossana Brando, is the most gracious and loveliest lady you'll meet! The lovely basket of goodies and the wine she had waiting for us was just so thoughtful. She will attend to all your needs, always responding with any questions you have, or any problems that may arise while you are staying in her lovely apartment. She is nearby and there when you need her. We look forward to a return trip to Torino and hopefully staying in this apartment again.
