01 — Who we are

We're not a residence, and we're not a platform. We're a handful of Padovan apartments, chosen one by one since 2018 — and the people who look after them.

— Chris & Marco, founders

02 — Why Feluca?

The hat that welcomes you home.

The feluca is the traditional hat of the University of Padova's student goliardia. We chose it as our symbol: a welcome for every student who arrives in the city.

07 — A letter

Dear future housemate,

We started Feluca in 2018 because arriving alone in a new city is hard — and it shouldn't be. Since then more than 500 bookings have come through, from almost every corner of the world.

We choose every apartment ourselves, and we still answer most messages personally. When you land in Padova you won't be a booking number. You'll be someone we're expecting.
