Charming studio with terrace in the heart of Turin, a few steps from Piazza San Carlo and the Egyptian Museum.

The apartment is located on the first floor of a historic building equipped with a lift, which was the seat of the Italian Gas Company until 2006. Sophisticated, comfortable and refined in every detail, it consists of a day/ night area that is furnished with a queen-size bed, a single sofa bed, a TV, a dining table and a modern kitchen equipped with an oven, a kettle and a microwave. A bathroom with a shower completes the layout.

The highlight of this accommodation is the terrace including a relaxation area and a dining area, where guests can relax and have meals in the open air.

The name Veló ("bicycle" in French) pays tribute to a find dating back to the war period. During the Second World War the building housed an underground air-raid shelter, inside which they found two bicycles that, exploiting the production of electricity through dynamo, kept the rooms illuminated and ventilated during emergencies.

At guests' disposal amenities such as free wifi, private bike parking, washing machine, air conditioning and heating.

*The apartment is located in the ZTL (limited traffic zone) area, therefore we suggest leaving the car in one of the nearby parkings and enjoying the old town on foot.

We also offer our guests authentic experiences of living in contact with the locals. If interested, contact us and we will be happy to help you create your perfect holiday discovering the beauties of Italy.

The wonderful city of Turin, the capital of Piedmont and famous for chocolate, offers countless opportunities and experiences. The city is known for the refinement of its architecture: in fact, one can admire sumptuous Baroque buildings that line Turin's large squares, such as Piazza Castello and Piazza San Carlo. In the historical centre stands the Mole Antonelliana, one of the symbols of Italy, together with the Royal Palace of Turin and Palazzo Madama. Turin offers attractions for every taste, from outdoor activities to gastronomy. For a walk amidst the greenery and the scent of flowers, you can visit the Botanical Garden of Turin on the left bank of the river Po, and the famous Valentino Park close to the city centre. Today, the province ranks as the best Italian centre for chocolate processing, and every year the 'Cioccolatò' event is inaugurated with parties, events and tastings.
For a tasting of typical Piedmontese dishes, don't miss the Ristorante Solferino and the Ristorante Consorzio.

Turin Caselle Airport is about 30 minutes' drive from the flat, while Turin Porta Nuova Station is a 5-minute walk away.
