The Residence

The Residenza dell’Opera is located in the heart of Turin. Via San Massimo is a strategic location to discover the city’s core: we are close to the most iconic places of Italy’s first capital. The Mole Antonelliana, now the home of the National Cinema Museum, is just a six-minute walk away, Piazza Carlina with its numerous establishments dedicated to gourmet nightlife is practically around the corner, while it takes only seven minutes on foot to reach Piazza Vittorio Veneto (one of the largest squares in Europe) and the banks of the River Po. It takes nine minutes to stroll to the Egyptian Museum (the second most important in the world after the one in Cairo), fifteen to Piazza Castello, which hosts Palazzo Madama, Palazzo Reale, and the hidden Church of San Lorenzo, and ten to Piazza San Carlo, Turin’s living room.

OLD-FASHIONED LUXURY AND MODERN COMFORT

 

It is at this historical crossroads that the Residenza dell’Opera is found, established within a noble late 19th-century building: a neoclassical structure that retains the charm of the Belle Époque when in Turin at that time, people gathered for the aperitif hour, marking the end of the workday with a good glass of Vermouth, invented in the city at the end of the 18th century. The building is elegant, respecting and enhancing the history of the surroundings thanks to the restoration work carried out by architect Davide Dutto, and it combines contemporary style and design that bring the hospitality spaces up-to-date. This can be seen in the original staircase, the period doors, and the historical details that have been preserved and coexist with contemporary furnishings that characterize the various rooms.

ART IN THE RESIDENZA DELL’OPERA

 

These spaces are enriched by the history they tell, but also by the works of Turin artist Sabrina Rocca: an eclectic and ever-evolving painter, with a recognized and established personal style, visible in the paintings selected for the Residence, touches of color, and “thoughts on canvas,” as the artist loves to describe them. Each room is also characterized by Kashmir with refined and precious shawls to admire and touch: together with the paintings, they differentiate the rooms, giving elegance and uniqueness to the rooms and apartments.

TAILOR-MADE HOSPITALITY, FOCUSED ON ATTENTION TO DETAILS

 

However, the soul of the Residenza dell’Opera is not only devoted to history and contemporaneity: it represents a concept of tailor-made hospitality, dedicated to each guest, focused on attention to detail, listening, and availability in offering personalized services and in narrating a unique territory to which the structure is strongly connected. This is also evident from the breakfast service offered by the adjoining Cocktail Bar Bistrot L’Opera di Santa Pelagia, which reserves a morning gastronomic offer linked to local excellence for the Residence’s guests: from mountain pasture cheeses to the famous Turin chocolate, from homemade bread and jams to traditional sweets.

We can speak of understated luxury, refined, centered on enhancing every aspect to make a stay unique, inspired by timeless hospitality codes that are attentive to the needs of the moment, balancing past values with future visions. This is why the rooms and apartments of the Residenza dell’Opera are suitable for everyone: solo travelers or those with company, those in Turin for work or choosing this city for leisure, those taking a family vacation.
