Hotel Description
I stumbled upon Arena Interno 5 kind of by accident last summer – you know, one of those trips where you’re wandering Verona’s old town after a long train ride from Milan, and suddenly you’re in this tiny alley off Via Mazzini, right in the thick of the historical center. Vicolo Disciplina is this narrow, cobblestone lane that feels like it’s straight out of a postcard, but honestly, it’s a bit tricky to find if you’re dragging luggage; no cars can squeeze in, so you’ll have to park at one of those lots near the Arena (like the one on Via Roma, which isn’t too bad, about a 10-minute walk). When I arrived, the check-in was super smooth – the owner, this friendly local guy named Marco, greeted me with a glass of chilled Prosecco and chatted about the best gelato spot nearby (Gelateria Savoia on Piazza delle Erbe, by the way, try the pistachio). The building itself is this restored 18th-century townhouse, all exposed brick and wooden beams, and stepping inside, there’s this faint scent of fresh lavender from the linens – it just hits you, making the whole place feel cozy, not stuffy like some bigger hotels.
What really sold me on it, though, was how it balances that old-world charm with stuff that actually matters when you’re traveling. My room was on the second floor – sort of compact, I mean, don’t expect sprawling space if you’re used to chain hotels, but the high ceilings and that massive window overlooking the vicolo made it feel airy. The bed was ridiculously comfortable, with these plush pillows that had me sleeping through the faint hum of evening crowds from the Arena (it’s just a five-minute stroll away, perfect for catching an opera if you’re there in July or August, when the festival’s in full swing). Breakfast is served in this little courtyard – fresh croissants, local cheeses, and coffee that’s strong enough to wake the dead – and it’s included, which is a nice touch in a city where everything adds up quick. Oh, and the Wi-Fi? Blazing fast, no dropouts even when I was streaming from bed after a day of exploring. There’s no full gym or pool – well, it’s a boutique spot, not a resort – but they have bikes you can borrow to zip over to the Adige River paths, and honestly, that’s way more fun than treadmill time. I did notice the walls are a tad thin; you might hear the occasional scooter buzzing by early morning, but earplugs sorted that out for me.
Look, if you’re heading to Verona and want to feel like you’re actually living in the city rather than just visiting, Arena Interno 5 is a gem – that 9.4 rating isn’t hype. It’s smack in the historical center, so you’re steps from Juliet’s balcony (touristy, sure, but fun) or grabbing aperitivo at those hidden bars on Via Cappello. I left wishing I’d booked an extra night; it’s not perfect – parking’s a hassle in peak season, and the stairs might be a drag if you’ve got mobility issues – but the personal vibe, those little details like fresh flowers in the room and Marco’s insider tips on avoiding the tourist traps, make it worth every euro. Trust me, you’ll wake up to church bells from Santa Anastasia nearby and think, yeah, this is Italy.

The location was excellent. The apartment was well equipped and very clean.
What could be improved: As with all Mediterranean old towns then can be noisy at night but on balance would rather be centralGilles from Costa Rica – 18 June 2024 (10/10)

Andrea molto disponibile e gentile ha fornito tutte le istruzioni per il check in via whatsapp.
La posizione ottima, proprio a 2 passi dall'Arena. Appartamento nuovo.
What could be improved: Troppo rumore durante la notte, forse mettere degli infissi adatti sarebbe meglio. Non c'è un poggia shampoo in docciaTatiana from United Kingdom – 21 August 2024 (10/10)
