Hey from Eleonora

Member since July 2015 | 21,575 hits

Hello, my name is Eleonora. I have a passion for traveling and exploring new places and cultures.

I’ve chosen to embark on this journey as a host so that, even if I'm not the one traveling, travelers can come to me.

I take great care in every detail of my cozy apartment to ensure you feel at home in a city that is waiting to be explored.

Area Cit Turin

Cit Turin is the smallest neighborhood in Turin, but it is also the only one with a name that is entirely of Piedmontese origin. Its meaning, "Little Turin," reflects both its compact size and its intimate character, enhanced by beautiful architectural gems in the Liberty style. Among these is one of the masterpieces of Italian Art Nouveau, designed by Pietro Fenoglio in 1902.

Strolling along Via Principi d’Acaja and turning onto Via Duchessa Jolanda, you will arrive at Piazza Benefica, the heart of the neighborhood. Officially named Giardini Martini, locals still refer to it by the name derived from an old charitable institution that once stood there. Every morning, it hosts the famous “mercato delle firme,” a go-to spot for those looking for quality clothing at advantageous prices.

L’Orchidea is just a two-minute walk from the “Principi d’Acaja” metro station and the tram stop for line 13, which provides easy access to the center of Turin. Street parking is available for a fee, costing €1.50 per hour or €10.50 for a daily ticket.

Charming apartment just a few steps from Piazza Statuto, modern and finely furnished. Composed of a bright double bedroom, a habitable kitchen with a sofa, and two balconies, one of which is equipped with a table and chairs, perfect for moments of relaxation outdoors. Complete services, nothing was really missing, from the iron to the toothbrush, all in the name of comfort and practicality.

Eleonora was very kind and helpful even before we arrived. As soon as we arrived, she gave us some tips on how to explore the city, what to visit, and where to eat. Breakfast was not included in our reservation, but she was very kind to leave us biscuits, jams, tea, coffee, and mini croissants. Well-equipped kitchen, as well as the bathroom (shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, etc., provided along with the linen). Comfortable bed and overall clean apartment! The location is also excellent, quiet, but a few minutes from the center, reachable by tram, metro, and bus. Nearby there are several supermarkets, useful for those who want to use the kitchen. In short, an excellent experience, and I definitely recommend spending your holiday in Turin at 'L'Orchidea'.

Absolutely satisfied with the choice. Delightful little house, furnished and equipped with care, immersed in the Liberty district just a stone's throw from the center. The location offers the possibility to walk along the main shopping street, closed to traffic, to reach Piazza Castello and other historical points of interest. The apartment is absolutely functional even for a small family like us. We felt pampered and at home. The owner Eleonora really thought of everything.

We felt at home! Unfortunately, we could only stay for two days, because the structure was already fully booked, and we were really sorry to have to leave. I recommend it to everyone, both for short stays and longer stays, suitable for all types of guests.

On the occasion of my son's graduation, we stayed for 5 days in this property. Have you seen the photos? All real. A new, well-kept, and above all, clean and comfortable environment. It feels like being at home. Functional kitchen, well stocked with everything, from utensils to main seasonings. For breakfast, the quantity and quality of packaged goods leave nothing to be desired, as well as for coffee and everything else. Forgot the intimate soap? No problem at L'Orchidea, you'll find it in its place (exceptional). During the stay, a change of linen (including sheets) and a general cleaning were carried out (more than necessary). A mention should be made of Eleonora, who manages everything with professionalism and passion, seasoned with cordiality and promptness to your needs. Her attention and small gestures, done with spontaneity and naturalness, were able to evoke deep admiration for this person. Highly recommended! Season's Greetings to all. Giampiero.

This property is located in the Liberty district and is a charming tenement house from which, in about a 20-minute pleasant walk, you reach the center. Strengths: 1) Comfortable structure, recently renovated with a comfortable bed (unfortunately this is a rarity when traveling); 2) Cleaning of the house and provision of bathroom accessories (bathrobes, shower gel, etc.); 3) Courtesy of the manager. The house is not very bright, especially in the living area, but it is well lit. However, there is an aspect that, in my opinion, must be significantly improved, and that is breakfast because, despite being quite varied (crackers, biscuits, rusks, snacks, small tarts, jam), it is not of great quality. For obvious reasons, fresh foods cannot be introduced, but it would be appropriate to raise the quality of those present and perhaps introduce seasonal fruit, jams a little tastier than overly sugary single-use ones, yogurt, and so on.

We organized this trip to Turin on the spur of the moment to visit the Egyptian Museum, which truly deserves to be seen. We found this very pleasant Bed & Breakfast a few steps from the center, in an excellent residential building. The apartment is clean, served by public transport, and convenient even if you want to walk to the center. Our judgment as a family, we were with the children, was excellent for everything, including the availability and kindness of the owner. The only negative note, worth as a warning to travelers, is the pickpocketing experienced on public transport. It certainly didn't ruin the vacation but be careful.

Completely renovated and located within a historic building, the apartment is cozy, well-furnished, and spotlessly clean; you can find everything you need to cook, spend time relaxing, have breakfast as you wish (there is a truly wide choice). The bedroom is delightful, it is perhaps the heart of L'Orchidea, the double bed - as well as the sofa bed available in the kitchen creating a pleasant living area - is very comfortable: I felt at home. The location is strategic: the area is quiet yet you are a stone's throw from the center. Eleonora, the owner, is very kind and helpful, going above and beyond what is required, whom I thank again.

Very quiet area for overnight stays, practically no noise from cars and traffic, as it is in a good location within a period building with courtyards around and served about 100 meters from the subway. Excellent availability of the owner, a very kind and helpful girl for any information. Great point to move around and stay calm for the night. I highly recommend without any doubt.
