Turgenev House
Built in the 19th century, the Turgenev House has been home to a number of prominent Russians and takes its name from Ivan Turgenev who lived there during between 1860 and 1883. The house fell into disrepair during the Soviet era and was bought by John Stuart in 1998. John Stuart was probably the world's leading Russian art expert and dedicated the last five years of his life to restoring the 2nd floor of this palace to its former glory.
The accommodation consists of a master double bedroom, compete with dressing room (with single bed), an en-suite shower room and separate en-suite bathroom, a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom and one twin room with bathroom next door, a large drawing room, antechamber with single bed, sitting room, dining room, house-keeper and maid.
The apartment has been featured in Conde Nast Traveller and twice in Russian Vogue and is regarded as one of the finest places to stay in St Petersburg.
