About this property
Casa Lescano - central and striking apartment in a historic house.
Very bright apartment, recently renovated, located in the heart of the historic district of Vanchiglia, in a house built in 1936.
The sisters of the Lescano Trio, swing queens, lived in this house from 1939 to 1945.
The avenue gets its name from the presence of numerous artists that in the worked for the RAI in the 50s, which is 8 minutes away by foot.
The apartment, on the first floor with a lift, consists of one bedroom and a wide angular living room, eat-in kitchen, bathroom, two balconies and a wide entrance.
It can accommodate one to four people, with the possibility of adding a cradle or small bed.
The kitchen is fully equipped: dinnerware carefully chosen, cookware suitable for any kind of food, baking sheets, chopping board, microwave oven, and gas oven.
The bathroom has a tub, electric water heater and a wide window.
The bedroom has a brand new double bed (which can be split into two singles) with slats and orthopaedic mattress; the curtains, produced by the famous fabric shops of Chierese. A closet and side tables complete the room’s furnishings.
The living room is wide and extremely bright because it is angular. There is a comfortable and brand new white leather sofa with three seats that turns into a comfortable and large double bed with mesh.
The sleeping quality is very important even for a brief stay. And it is because of this that we have chosen high quality mattresses.
Bed, bathroom and kitchen linen of excellent quality is provided.
The renovation of the apartment was made by experienced and qualified artisans, with attention to the use of materials and processing techniques for the protection of labour and the environment.
All the parts of the apartment have been restored to its origins and enhanced, in particular the fixtures.
The door window and the windows have double glass and glazing.
The apartment measures 64 sq.m and has a ceiling height of 3.70 metres. Due to its particular location, it is never too cold in winter or too hot in summer.
The area is well served by public transportation and bicycle paths.
The railway station of Porta Nuova is the closest subway stop, at a distance of 2 km.
Upon request, we can arrange typical or standard dishes, vegetarian, vegan and pastry. The owner has the necessary permits for food and beverage service.
On the outside there are many small supermarkets, the nearest one is exactly opposite to the house in a corner. Banks, laundromats and dry cleaners, bakeries, newsstands, tobacconists, bars, traditional and ethnic restaurants, craftsman workshops, libraries and an excellent and historical pastry shop (del Borgo) are all within a few minutes’ walk.
In the opposite direction, always within a few kilometres, you can find the large and romantic Parco di Valentino.
Every morning, a market is held in the historical Piazza Santa Giulia.
The famous market of Porta Palazzo is a 20-minute walk away.
Upon arrival, guests will find a welcome gift.

About the host
Hosted by Graziella Silipo

My name is Graziella Silipo, I am 51 years old, and Turin has always been my city. I think I would only switch my current residence for one at the sea, perhaps in Genoa.
Turin for me has the perfect dimensions, nothing is too small or too big; I love the river, taking walks in the city centre, looking for books, going to the cinema, and eating chocolate. I grew up in the suburbs, and I know what the industrial city was like!
I attended the business school and then the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters.
I have lived in the city centre since 1990.
My occupation and passion is health, safety and the environment.
I believe that people relationships are one of the most important things in life, jointly with the cinema, good wine, good bread, and good reading.
I have formed an association called "Voglia di Futuro", which deals with environmental education and food.
I attended a cook and pastry school with the Cooks Association of Turin and I have also been a teacher in cooking courses done by the association.
We will have a chance to know each other better in person!

Why they chose this property
When I was little and passed by this area, I always told myself "One day I would like to live in this house". And it happened. Actually, I don't live here, but it is my place! It is a particularly active area and avenue, with all the necessities and frequented by many young people. It is home to the studio of the Italian rock band "Subsonica".
I thought of sharing my passion for Vanchiglia with the people that desired to visit this place, renting this house because at the moment I don't need to move out of my current house which I have lived in for twenty years.
