Authentic Italian house in the hills of Turin
Our family of three moved to Italy from Singapore in August this year. We needed a fully furnished property for a few months in the vicinity of Torino and the international school of Chieri. We were lucky to find Linden 1. In the beginning we stayed in Linden 2 for a few weeks. Both rentals are part of a beautiful, old, renovated, Piemontese casina with a lovely front and back garden. The main entrance to the property is a stunning, original portico with old stone pavement and the covered area with a table and sofa, where one can enjoy a quiet moment with the views of this beautiful house. The property is an L shaped house divided in several parts. They are all independent with separate entrances. Linden 1 is a fully functional house with 3 comfortable bedrooms, two bathrooms, a little but fully equipped kitchen and a living room. There is a lovely, covered area outdoor for meals al fresco, in front of the living room. It is an authentic Italian house with lots of period features, which the owners also use for own stay. The house can be rented for shorter periods as well.
The house is situated in Revigliasco, which is a quiet, little old village in the hills about 15 min drive from Turin. It is set in forested area, bathing in pure, fresh air with great views of the rolling hills and Alps at the backdrop. It has a bakery, grocery shop, a butcher, a pharmacy and last but not least, two fantastic well known restaurants, one of which is situated opposite of the front door of the property. A stroll in the village is particularly enjoyable in the early morning when on the clear day, one can enjoy the views of nearby Alps.
The property owner, Claudia, was fantastic and very helpful with all of our queries, such as : where to buy bread or how to get to the doctor. We communicated in our basic Italian although Claudia speaks perfect English. Claudia was always prompt to reply and always did her best to accommodate our requests.
We were so lucky to find this lovely house and stay here for a few months before finding a more permanent stay. We can highly recommend it to anyone for shorter or longer holiday. Thank you Claudia!
