Casa del Pingone is a holiday home in the historic centre of Turin, about 600 metres from the heart of the city and a short distance from the Basilica Mauriziana. The property offers air-conditioned apartments and rooms, many with a balcony or terrace and views of the garden, inner courtyard or city skyline, suitable both for short stays as a couple and for families or small groups thanks to the various sizes available, from 43 to 180 square metres.
The accommodation types include double rooms with private bathroom and apartments equipped with a full kitchen, dishwasher, washing machine and separate living area, designed for those who want the convenience of an independent space. WiFi is free throughout the property, while private parking is available for a fee nearby.
The location, right in the heart of Turin, allows guests to reach Palazzo Reale, the Cathedral of San Giovanni Battista and Piazza Castello on foot, as well as the Porta Nuova and Porta Susa railway stations within a few minutes’ walk or a short metro ride.
Casa del Pingone offers seven types of accommodation spread across several floors of the historic building, from the more compact double rooms to apartments with a separate living room, up to the 180-square-metre suite with terrace designed for families or small groups. All accommodations feature air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with toiletries, while the independent entrance allows guests to manage arrival and departure times freely.
The main differences concern the size, which ranges from 43 to 180 square metres, and the presence of a full kitchen with dishwasher in the larger apartments, ideal for those who want to cook independently. Several rooms offer balconies with garden or inner courtyard views, while the Suite with Terrace and the Double Room with Park View add private outdoor spaces for relaxation in the heart of Turin.
This 45 sqm double room is among the brightest in the property, with a private entrance, a balcony overlooking the garden and a bathroom with a bathtub. The view also extends to a point of interest and the city skyline, a feature that sets it apart from the other double rooms.
With its 67 sqm and two separate living areas, this apartment is designed for those who want more space than a simple room: a kitchen equipped with an oven and microwave, a bathroom with tub and bidet, and a garden view from the balcony.
Larger than the One-Bedroom Apartment, this 73 sqm accommodation adds a dishwasher and washing machine to the full kitchen, along with an inner courtyard view that makes it more secluded and quieter compared to the units facing the garden.
The largest accommodation at Casa del Pingone, with 180 sqm spread across two bedrooms and two bathrooms: the only one with a real terrace overlooking the garden, ideal for families or groups looking for more privacy and outdoor space.
More compact than its 45 sqm namesake, this room overlooks the inner courtyard through its balcony and features an extra-large double bed, with a private bathroom equipped with a tub or shower depending on availability.
This 66 sqm junior suite introduces a separate living area with flat-screen TV and a tea/coffee kettle, an extra lounge compared to the standard double rooms, in addition to the private balcony.
At 110 sqm, this holiday-home-style unit is the only one offering a full kitchen with oven and microwave paired with a terrace overlooking the garden, as well as a washing machine: the ideal choice for a longer, self-catered stay.
Casa del Pingone offers services designed for a practical stay in the heart of Turin: daily housekeeping, independent key access and an in-room safe ensure comfort and security, while the business centre and meeting spaces also cater to those travelling for work.
Every accommodation is air-conditioned and equipped with a private bathroom with complimentary toiletries, hairdryer and bidet, as well as a flat-screen TV and free internet connection. Guests travelling with pets will find dedicated bowls and beds, while the on-site restaurant and bar offering wine and champagne mean there’s no need to go out for meals.
For those arriving by car, a paid garage is available, and the lift makes it easy to reach the upper floors. The property is entirely non-smoking and equipped with fire extinguishers, a smoke alarm and external security cameras.
Casa del Pingone is located on Via della Basilica, in the historic centre of Turin, just steps from the Basilica Mauriziana and the Church of the Holy Spirit, in one of the liveliest pedestrian areas of the city centre, among shops, historic cafés and small restaurants such as Host Cafe’ Bistrot and Skassapanza, both just 50 metres from the property.
