Melanie is such a sweet person so as all her family. They are all very kind and you will feel like you come to your long time friend.
I strongly suggest to go and get to know them !
October 2019
To begin with, we were made to feel very welcome into Melania’s and Danilo’s home. They gave us a beautifully appointed room with its own bathroom. The apartment was amazing, and kept very clean.
Melania gave us a great itinerary for both days we had with them, and Danilo went out to buy us bus tickets. The next day (Sunday, and the day of a football match) Danilo took us part way into the city to make it easier for us.
We felt like family. They are a wonderful, warm and friendly couple, and they made our stay in Turin so much better than it would have been without their help and advice.
If we get to come back to Turin, we’d love to stay with Melania and Danilo again.
