Verona City holiday apartment

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying in this apartment for 3 weeks and found it to be the best apartment we have stayed in (we are travelling for 2 years). Alessandra and her sister and daughter were helpful and delightful to deal with.

We arrived slightly hot and flustered but Alessandra's daughter came with us to the car park plus helped us with our luggage. The car park is only 5 minutes walk through Castelvecchio (how amazing). Alessandra also advise us on local sights to see including a visit to Allegrini wines and Villa del Torre - a must do!

The apartment is spotless and has everything you need for a home away from home. The kitchen has all utensils for cooking with a small dining table and seating for 4. In fact we stayed in and cooked several nights. The washing machine is located in a little alcove at the back of the apartment with it's own private drying area which receives full sun in the morning so good for quick drying. The bathroom is airy and receives plenty of light. The bedroom is also light and roomy. The lounge area is large for an apartment with a small desk and computer if you need one. Wi-Fi connection is available.

Apart from the obvious inclusions, we had a wonderful stay and found the location ideal. A minute walk to Castelvecchio and two minute walk to Piazza Bra and the Arena. We were privileged to see an Opera whilst there and it was a convenient 5 minute walk back to the apartment. It's close to the bus line, the hop on/off bus and about 20-30 minutes walk to the train station.

It became our home away from home and will be a place we always choose when we stay in Verona.

Wonderful apartment, wonderful location, wonderful and helpful owner and family.

My wife Marge and I were delighted with our one month stay at this apartment! Alessandra and her family were a pleasure to meet! The apartment is charming, beautiful and tranquil, yet located in the heart of downtown Verona on the pedestrian only Via Roma just two blocks from Piazza Bra. Everything one needs is literally within steps of the apartment. When we weren't touring, we enjoyed pleasant times dining and reading on the beautiful terrace with all its flowers and grapes in bloom. I highly recommend this lovely apartment as a home away from home! Thank you Alessandra and family!!

I have visited Verona a few times for conferences and meetings, and since I was lucky enough to find the apartment in Via Roma the first time, I never thought of looking anywhere else when I was goimg back. Usually, I have added a couple of days to do some sightseeing or to do a bit of work. There is so much to see in Verona, so you will be spoilt for choice, and the apartment is also perfect for work: it is very quiet and it has a fast WiFi connection which can be used inside as well as outside on the terrace.

Via Roma is a lively pedestrian street, but not crowded like Via Mazzini can be, yet it is as central as you can wish, running from Castelvecchio to Piazza Bra. Right across the apartment, there is a small bar with tables on the pavement, and there are all kinds of shops and restaurants in the street, and also the grand Teatro Filarmonico di Verona. Although the opera season in the Arena on Piazza Bra runs from mid June to late August, there will also be some concerts and operas in the Teatro Filarmonico during the winter season. The website is divided into a "Stagione lirica e di balletto" for operas and ballets and a "stagione sinfonica" for symphonies. The website might be worth looking into if you are in Verona outside the summer season. There is also an adjoining hall, Sala Maffeiana, where smaller concerts are performed.

When you enter Via Roma 19, you leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind you, and perhaps you will meet Alessandra or someone in her family, including Spotty, a lovely and very quiet dog - he will not keep you awake. At night, the apartment is so quiet as if it was in the countryside. During the day, if you sit on the terrace, you can sometimes hear a few of the neighbours talking, exacly as it should be in a living city. As so many reviewers have pointed out, Alessandra and her family are so courteous and helpful, and at the same time unobtrusive. They have a wonderful city to share with their visitors.

Need I add that this apartment is highly recommended?
