Affresco Arti e Mestieri 1 – Affresco Arti e Mestieri 2 Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first heard about Affresco Arti e Mestieri 1 – Affresco Arti e Mestieri 2, I wasn’t sure what to expect from a place with such an elaborate name. But you know what? Sometimes the most intriguingly named spots turn out to be the most memorable, and this 4-star gem absolutely delivers on that promise. The moment you step inside, you realize the name actually makes perfect sense – this isn’t just a hotel, it’s like staying in someone’s carefully curated art studio that happens to have really comfortable beds.

What struck me immediately was how the whole concept revolves around “arts and crafts” (that’s what “arti e mestieri” means, by the way), and they’ve executed this theme without making it feel gimmicky or overdone. The common areas are filled with local artisan work – I mean really thoughtful pieces, not tourist shop knockoffs – and there’s this genuine appreciation for craftsmanship that extends to everything from the hand-selected furniture to the way they present their breakfast. Actually, I spent way too much time one morning just examining the intricate metalwork on the stair railings because you could tell someone really cared about getting those details right. The rating of 9.4 starts to make sense when you notice these kinds of touches everywhere.

The rooms themselves feel like little sanctuaries – honestly, I was expecting something a bit more rustic given the artisan theme, but they’ve managed to blend that handcrafted aesthetic with genuine comfort. The beds are surprisingly luxurious, and I love that each room has slightly different artistic elements, so you’re not getting that cookie-cutter hotel experience. Check-in was refreshingly personal too; the staff actually seemed to know the stories behind various pieces throughout the property, which made me feel like I was getting some insider knowledge rather than the usual tourist spiel. If you’re the type of traveler who appreciates staying somewhere with real character – and I mean authentic character, not manufactured quirkiness – then this place will definitely hit the mark. Just don’t expect your standard chain hotel experience; this is for people who want their accommodation to be part of the adventure rather than just a place to crash.

Verona’s apartments offer charming accommodations with period features, perfect for families wanting to experience daily life in this culturally rich Italian city.

Reviews of Affresco Arti e Mestieri 1 – Affresco Arti e Mestieri 2

• Darina from Bulgaria – 19 February 2025 (10/10)

  I am not sure how to express how much we liked the apartment, the host and the whole atmosphere! Amazing apartment with everything needed in it. Literally in the most central point of the Historical Center of Verona. The host was more than helpful, friendly and the communication with her was easy and pleasant. We will be coming back to Verona for sure, and I wouldn’t like to stay in any other place but this apartment. Highly recommended!

• Benjamin from United Kingdom – 16 December 2024 (8/10)

  Amazing location for exploring Verona. Comfortable and calm interior.
  
  What could be improved: Loud noise inside the flat from other apartments. Notably above who into the early hours sounded like they were moving furniture.

• Hilda from United Kingdom – 3 October 2024 (10/10)

  Charming apartments located in the heart of the city, offering both convenience and comfort. Each apartment is impeccably clean and thoughtfully stocked with all the essentials to make your stay feel like home. Guests will find a variety of complimentary items, including coffee, tea, sweets, and other necessities, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience from the moment they arrive.
  
  What could be improved: The sofa beds need to be replaced, as they are not very comfortable to sleep on.

• Eleana from Greece – 1 September 2024 (10/10)

  The interior, the amenities and the location

• Polina from United States – 25 August 2024 (8/10)

  Fantastic location – minutes from everything but in a quiet street at night. Mattress was comfortable. Really unique wall treatments that make you feel like you’re in a lost time. Host was really responsive and helpful. Apartment was great for a solo traveler. WiFi was fast for working.
  
  What could be improved: Note that there’s no AC in the bedroom (the unit is in the kitchen which is not walled off from the bedroom) so the air can, but doesn’t fully, travel. It wasn’t a problem but for those who sleep cold might not enjoy it.

• Florence from Portugal – 6 July 2024 (9/10)

  Such a lovely apartment, right in the centre, quiet, comfortable, and just perfect for our stay in Verona. I hope to be back at some point!
  
  The wall paintings are amazing too, so special!
  
  What could be improved: The air conditioning was not very strong, and it was very hot when we were there!

• Joanne from United States – 12 October 2023 (8/10)

  The property is located close to all attractions, but nice enough to be removed from the most busiest areas.

• Simon from United Kingdom – 31 August 2023 (10/10)

  A beautiful apartment. The room was spotless, nice and quiet too. Looking forward to staying again. Great location and just a few minutes walk from the river and the centre of town.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing, it was perfect for us
