We had a wonderful stay at this lovely guesthouse. The staff were very helpful and our room was large, bright and immaculately clean. Bathroom was huge and spotless. Would definately stay here again and recommend to others.

Extremely high standard - this is a hotel rather than a guesthouse, which might be the only downside; it's rather expensive. Friendly staff and superb location on a quiet street in Verona's old town.

The accommodation was a short walk from the train station - and the room was HUGE! Everything was really clean and it was just a short walk to the sights. Our 'host' was lovely and very helpful in what to see and do.

I highly recommend the restaurant next door if you are looking for good food. I would have paid double for the meal I got. Ask the owner what the best choices are. Seriously to die for. The relais has a nice breakfast. The directions are correct-- cross the highway behind the church, walk straight and veer left at the roundabout. Then turn right onto the street.close

The staff is particularly excellent... when I told the owner I was leaving before the normal breakfast time, he came early and prepared breakfast so that I could eat before my trip to Milan. A great guy!

Although the directions seemed very vague, the hotel was quite easy to find. Overall it was a great hotel, the breakfast was good for a continental breakfast and the rooms were very nice. The staff was very helpful. I would definitely recommend this for anyone staying the night in Verona.

I was happy with the lare size of the room and the cleanliness. Overall a good location between the train station and old-town. The one internet PC needs an upgrade. For the price range also free WiFi would be nice. I had a good stay in this small hotel.

The place is very warm, is an old bulding with a very nice decoration, I was surprised the elegant it is. It is not in the very center of the city, but As Verona is very small you are in downtown in 15 min walking and in the train station in other 15 min, in the way there is supermarket and an...

The rooms are very spacious and breakfast was better than most offer in Italy. If staying here be sure to arrive when you say you will as staff are not always at reception and the front door will be locked. This was difficult to find as directions on the website aren't easy to follow, from the train station walk accross the main road and the river. Keep on the same road in to Piazza Simoni, to the left of this square is Via Casa which becomes Via Scalzi. On the right handside of this road after a few minutes of walking you will cross a junction for Via Marconi, it is then the next right hand turn and the first or second building on your right.close

Great location, it was easy and convenient to get to from the train station, even with large packs. Good for getting to the major attractions. Staff, fun and cleanliness were average. Not a five star, but great for students, or couples not looking to spend too much on accomodations, but still...

Beautiful guesthouse. Very clean, well presented and comfortable. Two gripes -the reception was closed when it was meant to be open which meant an hour and a bit wait to check in and one day the cleaner left our room unlocked.

It was extremely clean and comfortable. Overall it is exceptional value; a more than adequate breakfast is included in the price. For all the tourist spots in Verona the Guesthouse is in a very convenient location: everything you need is accessible on foot. It's not lively like a youth hostel, but it just depends on what you're looking for. If you want something charming, peaceful, secure and convenient, this is an excellent choice.close
