Appartamento Verona For You – Happy Rentals

Hotel Description

You know, when I first pulled up to Appartamento Verona For You on Via Elena da Persico, I was honestly a bit skeptical—it’s tucked away in that quieter Borgo Roma neighborhood, south of the city center, and Verona’s traffic can be a nightmare if you’re driving in from the A4 highway. But man, once I parked (pro tip: there’s street parking nearby, but it fills up fast during the Fiera di Verona events, so aim for evenings or snag a spot in the lot around the corner on Via Albere), the place just clicked. It’s one of those Happy Rentals spots that’s more like a cozy apartment than a stuffy hotel—think modern kitchenette with a Nespresso machine that actually works, and big windows letting in that golden Italian sunlight. I remember unpacking and immediately smelling the faint aroma of espresso from the little café down the street; it’s the kind of detail that makes you feel like you’re living in Verona, not just visiting. Check-in was a breeze—self-service with a code they email you, no awkward lobby waits, though I did have to buzz the manager once because the Wi-Fi was spotty at first (sorted in minutes, thankfully).

What really sets this place apart, though, is how it balances that homey vibe with some thoughtful touches—well, sort of like if your stylish Italian aunt set up a guest suite. The bedroom has these super comfy linens (I’m talking crisp cotton that doesn’t wrinkle like cheap hotel stuff), and there’s a balcony overlooking a leafy courtyard where you can hear birds in the morning instead of the constant hum from the busier Via Legnago nearby. I mean, it’s not right in the shadow of the Arena di Verona—that’s about a 20-minute walk or a quick bus ride north—but honestly, that’s a plus if you want to escape the tourist crowds after a day exploring Juliet’s House or wandering along the Adige River. We cooked up some pasta one night using ingredients from the market on Via Scuderlando (just a five-minute stroll, and way cheaper than eating out every meal), and it felt authentic, you know? Noise-wise, it’s pretty peaceful except for the occasional scooter zipping by, but earplugs helped on that one lively weekend when the fairgrounds were buzzing. Oh, and if you’re here in summer, the air conditioning is a lifesaver—strong and quiet, unlike some older spots in town that rattle like they’re about to take off.

All in all, if you’re the type who wants to dive into Verona without the chaos of the centro storico—maybe catching a show at the Arena or day-tripping to Lake Garda (the train from Porta Nuova station is only a 10-minute drive away)—this apartment is a solid pick. It’s rated 8.8 for a reason, and at four stars, it delivers without feeling pretentious. Sure, it’s not perfect (the bathroom’s on the smaller side, so pack light on toiletries), but for a few nights or even a week, it made me feel like I belonged. I’d go back in a heartbeat, especially off-season when the streets are quieter and you can snag better deals.

Reviews

• Daniela from Slovakia – 7 August 2023 (9/10)

  Spacious appartement in a quiet residential area, city center easily accessible by public transport (10 min bus drive), bus stops within 5 min walking distance, super clean, AC working properly. Great terrace to chill, have breakfast or coffee at. Welcome bottle of sparkling wine as a nice gesture of the owner. Nice restaurants, grocery store and small market within 500m walking distance. Free parking on the street right outside the appartement.

• Raivo from Estonia – 24 July 2024 (9/10)

  What could be improved: Köögis võiks olla mõned suuremad noad.

• Tatiana from Italy – 9 December 2023 (9/10)

  Appartamento ampio, ben tenuto e pulito. Con tutto il necessario, compreso pastiglie per la lavastoviglie e sacchetti per la spazzatura.
  Proprietario molto disponibile ad accogliere le esigenze particolari di cui necessitavamo.
  
  What could be improved: Secondo bagno cieco e senza possibilità di riciclo aria con apparecchio apposito, più che altro perché da direttamente nel soggiorno.
  Non avendo parcheggio di proprietà è stato un po’ difficoltoso trovarne uno in strada per tanti lavori in corso.

• Grzegorz from Poland – 9 August 2023 (9/10)

  Ładny apartament, dobrze posprzątany, brak parkingu prywatnego, ale dostępne były darmowe miejsca przy ulicy.
  
  What could be improved: Opis odbioru kluczy był dokładny, ale zdjęcie wprowadzało w błąd, ze zdjęcia w opisie wynikało, że skrytka z kodem jest w skrzynce na listy po lewej stronie, a to była skrytka po prawej na dole, na szczęście pomogli mieszkańcy wychodzący z budynku, którzy zapewne często pomagali innym znaleźć skrytkę i od razu sami podpowiedzieli i pomogli 🙂

• Fernando from Brazil – 14 May 2022 (9/10)

  Stan je prostran i ima sve potrebno za ugodan boravak.

  Imali smo problem sa grejanjem medjutim vlasnik je odmah dosao da isti resi.Ali i posle njegovog dolaska grejanje nije bilo bas najbolje.
