PALAZZO DEL CARRETTO-ART APARTMENTS AND GUESTHOUSE, Turin

Palazzo Del Carretto sits on a quiet side street just off the main pedestrian zone, putting you within a 5-minute walk of Piazza San Carlo and the major shopping areas. Porta Nuova Railway Station and Mole Antonelliana are less than 1 km away; Porta Nuova Metro Station is a 10-minute walk. Torino Airport is 16 km away. The location is ideal for exploring the Egyptian Museum, Royal Palace, and other landmarks on foot. Restaurants, cafés, and two supermarkets are within a 2-minute walk. The area is safe, and the street itself is unexpectedly quiet considering its central position. The on-site parking garage means you can leave the car and explore the city entirely on foot or by public transport.

Accommodation options range from compact twin/double rooms to spacious multi-bedroom apartments (up to 3 beds) and the grand Royal Suite with frescoed walls and ceilings. Every unit has a private entrance, air conditioning, parquet floors, a seating area, flat-screen TV with satellite/cable channels, minibar, tea/coffee maker, and free WiFi. Apartments feature fully equipped kitchens (stovetop, dishwasher, oven, washing machine, kettle) and at least one private bathroom with shower and bidet. Some rooms have a balcony or garden view. Garden-facing rooms are the quietest; street-facing rooms are still calm on this secondary road. The Royal Suite and some apartments have the highest ceilings (6 m) and period details, while all interiors are contemporary and spotlessly maintained. Bed configurations are fixed, so confirm the specific layout (e.g., mezzanine sofa bed vs. second bedroom) before booking if sleeping arrangements are critical.

There is no restaurant or breakfast service on the property. However, every apartment has a fully equipped kitchen (stovetop, dishwasher, oven, washing machine) and every unit includes a minibar and tea/coffee maker. Fresh coffee, teas, and electric kettles are provided in all rooms. Grocery deliveries can be organised for an additional charge. Within a 2-minute walk there are at least eight cafés and eateries, including Officine Panino, Brule Piadineria, and the pastry shop Panificio Convertino. The surrounding pedestrian streets are lined with restaurants. For those wanting a more elaborate breakfast or meal, planning to eat out is straightforward given the central location and abundance of nearby options.

The property itself does not have a pool, gym, spa, or sauna. For leisure, the staff can organise bike rentals, walking tours, cooking classes, and themed dinner nights (all at an additional charge, some off-site). Live sport events are broadcast in the common areas free of charge. The city's major attractions - the Egyptian Museum, Mole Antonelliana, Royal Palace, and numerous piazzas - are all within a 15-minute walk. The historic garden courtyard provides a peaceful outdoor space for relaxation.

WiFi is complimentary and available throughout the building. A lift serves all floors, and the property is wheelchair accessible (one room/bathroom is specifically suitable for wheelchair users). Baby cots for children up to 2 years old are available free upon request. Luggage storage is free before check-in and after check-out, even if reception is unattended - bags can be left in the secure luggage room. Daily housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, and ironing are available for an additional charge. Business facilities include fax/photocopying (paid). Safety features include CCTV in common areas and outside the property, key access to rooms, and a safety deposit box. Payment can be made by American Express, Visa, Maestro, CartaSi, or MasterCard.
