Ai piedi del castello / 4PL / Apt. FULL

Ai piedi del castello / 4PL / Apt. FULL Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Ai piedi del castello / 4PL / Apt. FULL? The name literally means “at the foot of the castle” in Italian, and honestly, they’re not kidding around with that description. I mean, when I first rolled up with my suitcase, I could practically reach out and touch the ancient stone walls – it’s that close to whatever historic fortress dominates the skyline there.

This is one of those 3-star places that actually gets it right, you know? The 8.1 rating makes total sense once you’re inside, because while it might not have all the bells and whistles of some fancy chain hotel, it’s got character in spades. The apartment setup is pretty clever – you get a full space to yourself, which I actually preferred over cramming into some tiny hotel room. There’s something refreshing about being able to spread out your stuff and maybe grab some local groceries to keep in the fridge. The whole vibe feels less touristy and more like you’re actually living in the place for a few days, if that makes sense.

What I really appreciated was how the location puts you right in the thick of things without the chaos you’d expect. I mean, sure, you’re literally next to a castle – which probably means you’re in the historic heart of wherever this is – but it wasn’t nearly as crowded or noisy as I thought it’d be. Actually, the evenings were pretty peaceful, just the occasional sound of footsteps on cobblestones and maybe some distant conversation drifting up from the street below. The whole setup feels authentically local rather than designed for Instagram, though don’t get me wrong, the views are definitely photo-worthy. You’ll probably find yourself leaning out the window more than once just taking in that medieval architecture towering above you. It’s the kind of place where you can walk to everything that matters – the main squares, the good restaurants locals actually eat at, maybe some tucked-away bars that don’t show up in guidebooks. Plus, and this is crucial, you’re not dealing with the usual hotel breakfast rush or fighting for elevator space with tour groups.

Hotels near me in Verona offer convenient access to the city center, where guests can easily walk to Juliet’s Balcony, Piazza delle Erbe, and authentic Italian trattorias.

Reviews of Ai piedi del castello / 4PL / Apt. FULL

• Oleksandr from United Kingdom – 5 April 2025 (8/10)

  Close proximity to the city centre, nice window views, easy check in
  
  What could be improved: Hazardous stairs which are definitely not suitable for elderly people, unwashed caps and dishes, mild mold in bathroom

• Patrycja from United Kingdom – 9 February 2025 (9/10)

  I love views ❤️ very clean and comfortable space.
  Location was quite and closed to centre.

• Druhak from Poland – 14 January 2025 (9/10)

  Excellent localization, the apartment is typically in Italian style. Everything that was needed was in the object.
  
  What could be improved: One downside was the broken faucet in the kitchen, which is in such a position, when you open the water, it flows just at you

• Sunčana from Croatia – 17 August 2024 (9/10)

  Very charming apartement in an old house/ building, very nicely adapted. Quiet neighbourhood, real italian, without tourists, yet only some 10 minutes of easy walk from historic part of Verona. Perfect location. Apartement is nice, decorated with taste, with lovely combination of old and new details. It's quite big, except shower, has nice kitchen and big fridge.
  
  Guys who own apartement sent us very good and detailed information about location, parking, and how to take the key. We never met but they sent us all info on time and it was perfectly clear.
  
  What could be improved: Shower is small, just a niche in a wall. It was ok for us because we're not large people but would be a problem for someone larger.
  
  The rest are small details that can be easily fixed – remote control for air conditioner didn't work so we had to step on a bed to switch it on/off. There is small oven but it didn't work so we had to use microwave (definitely not good if you want to make bruschetti). And there were no kichen/ paper towels, no dish soap and no detergent for dishwasher.

• Alfredo from Italy – 2 August 2024 (9/10)

  Host davvero gentile, la casa è bella e a ha ogni tipo di comfort, davvero da consigliare

• Justyna from Poland – 23 July 2024 (9/10)

  The apartment has a cool vibe, the architecture is amazing, you can feel history flowing in the ceiling. Everything was according to the photos the owner provided. I recommend staying here and wish could come back in the future.

• Balázs from Hungary – 15 July 2024 (9/10)

  Remek elhelyezkedés, praktikus bejutás, kulturált környezet.
  
  What could be improved: A klíma nem tudta kezelni a helyzetet.

  Calm part of the town, near the center, 2 bedrooms for the kids and parents.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing to mention.

• Adrian from Romania – 29 June 2024 (9/10)

  Walking distance to multiple points of interest.
  
  What could be improved: Hard with parking.

• Tatjana from Latvia – 22 June 2024 (9/10)

  It is very good location, nice view from the window. If you want to touch Italy from the inside – this property gives the opportunity. There are all kitchenware, washing machine and drying machine.
  
  What could be improved: I did not found kitchen towel, salt and coffee jars were empty.
