Appartamento Betty

Hotel Description

You know, I stumbled upon Appartamento Betty during a spring trip to Verona last year, and honestly, it felt like finding a hidden gem in a city that’s already overflowing with charm. I arrived by train from Milan, hopped in a quick taxi, and before I knew it, we were pulling up to Via Venturelli 4 – this quiet little street tucked away in the Borgo Trento neighborhood, just across the Adige River from the historic center. It’s not smack in the middle of the tourist chaos like those spots near Piazza delle Erbe, which is a relief if you’re like me and prefer to escape the crowds after a day of sightseeing. The building itself is one of those unassuming Italian apartment blocks with faded peach stucco and wrought-iron balconies – nothing flashy, but it screams authentic Verona. Check-in was a breeze; the host, this friendly local named Marco (I think? – anyway, super helpful guy), met me at the door with keys and a quick rundown in broken English, even pointed out the nearest bakery for morning cornetti. Oh, and parking – well, it’s street parking around there, so if you’re driving, circle a bit or snag a spot early, especially in peak season like July when everyone’s flocking to the Arena for opera nights.

What really won me over, though, was stepping inside the apartment – it’s more like a cozy home than a sterile hotel room, you know? Spacious for a 4-star spot, with high ceilings, terracotta floors that feel cool underfoot after pounding Verona’s cobblestones all day, and these big windows letting in that soft northern Italian light. The kitchenette’s fully stocked – I mean, we’re talking a proper espresso machine, fresh herbs in pots on the sill, and even a welcome basket with local olive oil and a bottle of Valpolicella wine that I cracked open on the balcony while watching the sunset over the river. The bed was ridiculously comfortable, with those crisp white linens that smell faintly of lavender (probably from some nearby laundry line – Verona’s got that old-world vibe). There’s AC, which is a godsend in summer when the humidity hits, and the Wi-Fi’s solid for streaming or planning your next jaunt to Juliet’s balcony. It’s not perfect – the bathroom’s on the smaller side, and if you’re noise-sensitive, you might hear the occasional scooter zipping by in the morning, but it’s nothing earplugs can’t fix. I loved wandering out for evening strolls; cross Ponte della Vittoria and you’re in the heart of things in 10-15 minutes, or head to the nearby Giardini Pubblici for a quiet picnic with views of the hills.

All in all, if you’re heading to Verona and want something that feels lived-in rather than cookie-cutter, Appartamento Betty’s a solid pick – that 9.2 rating isn’t hype. It’s great for couples or solo travelers who appreciate the independence, and at that price point, you get way more value than those overpriced chains downtown. I left feeling like I’d actually experienced the city, not just passed through – sipping coffee on the balcony, chatting with neighbors at the corner market on Via IV Novembre. Just book ahead for busy times like the Vinitaly festival in April; it fills up fast. Trust me, you’ll thank yourself when you’re unwinding there after a day at the Roman Arena.

Reviews

• A nice quiet place for a romantic or a family stay – Ekaterina from Poland – 9 April 2025 (10/10)

  Comfortable and nice-equipped apartment for a short or a long stay – full kitchen of appliances, tableware, and small things for easy cooking and spending some time, 10-15 minutes on foot from the city center, a bus stop nearby. A nice spacious bathroom and bedroom, a lot of storage places and extra sets of bed linen and blankets (not used, but nice to have). Very quiet part of the city, birds are singing, green leaves and such. Nice communication with hosts, easy check-in and check-out.
  
  What could be improved: Limited Wi-Fi if that's crucial to you (some number of GBs, don't remember), but we used our mobile internet anyway.
  A large grocery store is about 10-12 min on foot, a small one is closer, but it didn't work on Sat evening and on Sunday. Not a bit deal, so just plan your grocery shopping well and do it once:)

• Very good and well equiped apartment! – Mariusz from Poland – 11 May 2023 (10/10)

  Very good localization – very near the old city, very good and well equipped apartment

• . – Diego from Brazil – 26 May 2025 (10/10)

  O ambiente era calmo e familiar. Amamos todas as instalações do apartamento e a recepção. Havia um caderno com várias dicas de como aproveitar a cidade e indicações de locais. Além disso, tudo estava extremamente limpo e organizado. Possuía todos os eletrodomésticos necessários para facilitar a estadia. Próximo aos locais turísticos, em menos de 5 minutos caminhando chegava na ponte Pietra. Com certeza voltaríamos em uma próxima oportunidade.

• Superb – Andrea from Italy – 7 April 2025 (9/10)

• OTTIMO SOGGIORNO, APPARTAMENTO ASSOLUTAMENTE CONSIGLIATO – Giorgia from Italy – 10 December 2024 (8/10)

  Bilocale spazioso in uno dei quartieri residenziali più belli di Verona. a pochi minuti dal centro a piedi. zona tranquilla anche di notte. vicino parcheggio pubblico utilizzabile. La casa era come da fotografie. Facile accedervi grazie alle precisissime indicazioni ricevute.
  Un plus per il materasso, estremamente comodo, il piumino, nuovo e estremamente confortevole e caldo, e la temperatura, perché in giorni con temperature molto basse la casa era tiepida a ogni ora del giorno e della notte. vicinato tranquillo, zero rumori.
  
  What could be improved: Nel bagno alcune piccolezze, per esempio sostituirei il porta shampoo/bagnoschiuma della doccia, usurato, e aggiungerei un porta sapone dato che nel kit di cortesia vengono fornite gentilmente delle saponette che però non si sa dove appoggiare. sono naturalmente delle piccolezze che non inficiano minimamente la qualità del soggiorno che, come detto, è stato ottimo. ho ben presente il mercato di b&b di Verona dato che ci vado spesso, e mi sento di consigliare sinceramente questo appartamento per il rapporto qualità/prezzo. ci tornerei.
